Morning all. It's my mother's 90th birthday today so there'll be a lot of food and fuss. Now, can I go to a lunch party in a fairly posh hotel in shorts and sandals or would being uncomfortable in long trousers be the done thing?

Happy Birthday MrsDM 🎂

Smart shorts & a Dinner Jacket isn't always a good look, but I'm sure you can pull it off

I reckon they're posh for shorts. I can take getting tutted by hotel staff.

Especially in the current heat wave! Enjoy.

If I was going to the party, I would prefer that you were comfortable in (reasonably smart) shorts and sandals, rather than long trousers.

You could wear a skirt, then they wouldn't dare complain.

Just narrowly avoided having to go out with the catering delivery service, which would have led to me being put on the reserved driver list, always a danger when we have hardly anyone with a driving licence.

Big day in Goujounac today. The village will be closed to all traffic and the annual bicycle race will take place. It will be a bit of a challenge for the competitors because the temperature will be in the upper 30's .

Correction the temperature is currently 45c it is painful just standing still never mind riding in a race

I've experienced that once and don't really want to do it again. It really does feel like you're too close to a fire.

Well played, sir!
Do it once to help, then do it again and the job'll be yours.. Forever!

Or worse it'll be my job 'Occasionally' which is the worst of both worlds because it'll suddenly be a priority when I really need to be doing something else.

Just for a change, and I haven't done this for many years, I purchased a Local newspaper. The Hamtun Chronicle & Echo, to be precise.

£1.75!!!!

Blimey, thought I. That's gone up a bit!
