Having an emergency coffee on the school bus run. Everyone chez Hebe is a little fractious this morning - had to close all the windows last night because of smoke blowing over from the fires on Salisbury Plain. Not the best of nights sleep.

Had about forty miles on my Peugeot UO-8 today (yesterday! ), my first ride on a road bike since my accident. Pretty hotAnnoying ticking noise which proved elusive was actually caused by the mudguard-mounted dynamo tail lamp's wires hitting the wheels (I hadn't got around to refitting the dynamo after restoring the bike and the wires were hanging loose).
My visitors came tonight and have now left after they drank all my whiskey and ate my biscuits!
That’s why I don’t do friends

Expecting a large orthodontist bill today £🦷
That sounds very sensible. I am waiting for Hebe Jr to establish whether she is or is not playing in the interval of a school music competition, which will determine my school run duties for the rest of the day.

I blame the heat for me not hearing that there had been a murder last Thursday in Provence which isn't very far east of where l live. And in any case l bet a murder in Provence hasn't been the only murder in SE France recently , tempers get a bit frazzled in these temperatures

Morning
The Police arrested someone last night . There were 2 cars and 2 vans at the scene . One armed response chappie . Don't know what was going on .
Murder in Provence . Was a mystery for me !
I quite enjoyed it but maybe not as much as I was expecting to. I do like Roger Allam though.
Early 8 mile walk done before the heat arrives. Thank goodness I don't live further south. It's not to be too bad up here.

Everyone knows how much I like Marmite.It was mentioned twice in the dialogue saying I have no idea what Marmite is,
That’s it ban Murder In Provence.It’s anti MARMITE
It made me laugh when he said that as I totally agree with him!

My car is functioning as a portable aircon unit today. I delivered it last night at my mother's and cycled home. She suffers very badly (and very vocally) from the heat and it's not easy getting her to drink enough fluids during the day. My brother and sister-in-law are there and have the car keys so they can get her in and out.
It's not a very green solution, admittedly, but what can you do?

That has totally ruined my day he said banging his head against the brick wall.
A curse on your Haggis.

Any fan's in the house. Make sure the car is shaded too, and allowed to cool before sitting her in it - i.e. open the doors/windows first.

Hmm, coffee in the mokka pot was rather bitter this morning - not sure what's gone on there. Dolce Gusto in action at the moment !
The conservatory (office) is currently cool - I've got the awning 'out' and a small gazebo up too to shelter the windows from the sun. Will probably be OK until early afternoon.
