Doc's appointment done, Had to breathe heavily in a tube for an Asthma test; apparently it's under control and my blood pressure is fine.
Lucky I get up early and go for a walk before breakfast as it is way to hot to contemplate exercise. Feel I'm being baked. I know people love this but it's not for me. I would go out and do a rain dance if I wasn't too hot and lazy!
Just over an hour before I join my training call for the evening 🥱

Got a nice trike run this morning despite insane levels of traffic with a lot of tourists. Expected it to be a bit quieter at just after 0900.
Passing the bottom of my brae noticed a lot of cyclists heading for the Kilchoan ferry. Mostly day trippers heading for Ardnamurchan lighthouse probably but a few touring ones as well.
Fog banks everywhere and the Sound had vanished from sight so not sure if ferry would have delayed a bit. They have all the navigational gear but yotties do not always appear so they do not sail if too foggy to see far enough to avoid any they may otherwise hit.
First time this year I have had my dayglo windfarm advertising jersey on for cycling and temp now has risen to 23.1C

It's OK until the missus wakes me to tell me she's too hot

Some mornings I walk the dog and there's hardly a soul to be seen. This morning, toward the end, it was like Piccadilly circus, half of them badly behaved.

Too hot, conservatory is now getting sun on it, and the shed office is hot too. Might have to pack in work soon 
Beer is chilling in the fridge.

Sunny and scorchio here chez Casa Reynard.
I actually slept quite well, but we're all holing out indoors with the curtains drawn. Madam Poppy went out for all of 30 seconds and then thought "nope" and scuttled back inside. Madam Lexi likes the heat, but even she decided that discretion was the better part of valour. I *did* have to go outside, as the tomato plants wanted watering, and another planter had tipped up overnight. They've so much fruit on them, the plants are decidedly top heavy...
Maybe I can use all my old uncomfortable and wrongly-sized bras to give the fruit some, erm, support...
Plan on spending the afternoon watching more action from Munich and doing some writing.
It is almost time for luncheon.

I think most women do - usually the result of being wrongly sized. Most places use the "plus 4" method which was developed around the time of WW2 when fabrics weren't as nearly high tech and women were meant to conform to the classic hour-glass figure.
Now most of us girls know that the perfect hour glass figure is a bloody myth (and to some extent a blokeish fabrication) which has resulted in a plethora of badly-fitting clothes, and not just bras. I mean I'm a pear - narrow shoulders, smallish waist and wide hips, and getting jeans to fit is a nightmare...
A corollary of the "plus 4" method of sizing bras means that the manufacturers can make their bras in a much narrower range of sizes, which means nothing fits right for so many women. Ergo most high street shops (outside of the specialists) only sell 32 - 36 backs and A through to D cups, but the reality is that a large number of women fall outside that range. That's because cup size is related to band size, not an absolute measure in itself.
For years, I'd been sized as a 36B, and always wondered why I had a hate relationship with bras. To the point I only wore one when I absolutely had to, or just wore a crop top type thing, they were just that evil... But that, really was just me being sized with a band that was way too big. I fall between sizes as well, so it just added to the problem.
Now that I've been sized properly, it's been a booby revelation.
Although bras with smaller back sizes can be quite spendy, so I'm glad the Lonsdale ones do me reasonably well. If they did a 30DD I'd be home and hosed, but the sister size does me well enough.

The flies know! 
I'm out of ammo, nothing left in the fly spray, having discovered two fat flies buzzing round the kitchen I went for a rolled up newspaper, as soon as I walked into the kitchen with the rolled up newspaper they both disappeared and I've not seen them since.

Lovely luncheon. Two slices of wholemeal toast, one with Gouda cheese, one with sliced avocado, plus some raspberries, half a ripe mango (luscious, but a veritable spoon and napkin job) and two
