Had two slices of wholemeal toast for luncheon, one with luncheon meat, and the other with manchego cheese, along with a pear, a banana and two

Got a nice trike run this morning.
Cannot escape some fast traffic on the main road between the Moss Road and Benderloch but have found that in the interval between traffic lights on Connel Bridge I get as far as a driveway entrance to a house and wait till the next wave goes hammering past.
It would be easier to just cross the road at the top of Moss Road into the campsite and the cyclepath but the site owner hates cyclists. My two grandsons cycled to school along the path before it became an official path and he made an abortive attempt to stop this but backed off when mothers got together and he was afraid for his life I think.
Now rain starting and I have had to go and get a fleece jacket.

We have light rain .
Temperature was 35C outside 29C indoors.

I have just washed my hair, using this new-fangled shampoo bar. My hands and my hair now smell of coconut and lychee.

27C upstairs in the house, 24C downstairs.

The cats are both continuing to do Salvador Dali "melting clock" impressions.

I’ve just fed Molly but she didn’t seem that enthusiastic. I think the heat is even getting to her. Roll on tomorrow and cooler temperatures.

30.7C in the living room, 29.5C in the bedroom. It's noticeably cooler in the bedroom although it's almost the same temperature.

Try mixing a tablespoon of cool water into her wet food. The girls have been very appreciative of that.

Madam Lexi, stretched out on the floor about 4 feet away from me, is dreaming. her paws are twitching. I think she's dreaming about chasing something...

I'm getting an advert on the Book of Faces, for an electronic earbud thingie.
Instead of having to use a cotton bud (that they advise to not poke in your ear hole,) you use their probe to scoop out the gunk!!

Happily, it has a camera and an app so you can actually see where said gunk is lurking and ream it out!

Win win...

I wonder if you can record the event and maybe make it a family fun event and see who excavate the most.

I have an anecdote:
I raced against Nigel Mansell at Silverstone. I managed to overtake and crossed the finish line well ahead of him.

( The race was the Silverstone Half Marathon, Nigel was running in it to raise money for charity, and while I was in singlet and shorts, Nigel was wearing his drivers suit )

I have played Pitch and Putt against Faldo. I think he decided not to try too hard. By the end of the first nine, I was in the lead, and then he decided to up his game.

Mr Faldo Snr would not have enjoyed telling his son, Nick, that he lost a game of golf.

A and a biskit is in order, methinks...

 

[Mo1959]

I put a bottle of diluted juice in the freezer for an hour or so. It now has some icy bits in it. Lovely!

My Jamaican neighbour just brought me some fried fish. Quite why she's been frying fish on a day like this I've no idea but I'm glad she did!

 

[Reynard]

Thought I'd pop outside for five mins while my tea brewed to finish off drying my hair.

Nope.

Just nope.

It's just waaaaaaaaaaaaay too hot.

 

[PeteXXX]

I think I've been swindled!
Chicken Wings in Buffalo sauce.. There's not even a hoof print, let alone any actual buffalo!

 

[biggs682]

Well that was a warm one and no thunderstorm that we were forecast either.
