I'm free again! While the wind has kept the temperature comfortable throughout the day, it's now that time when the sun hits the west-facing wall and windows. 24.9C and climbing! Currently testing a glass of red wine's ability to cool body temperature down....

The giant crumpet with jam and grated cheese grilled on the top was tasty. However, in hindsight, the sprinkle of Worcestershire Sauce wasn't the best idea TBH..

Tad warm here. Saw one guy riding when I was outside earlier, but I’m going to leave it to him. No more outside for me today.

With humidity, feels like 37°

Time for a cold bevvie. 🧃

Just checked the temperature and inside my house it is 19C and 12.6C outside.

Been corresponding with a SIL and comparing medical problems. She is younger than I am but just beats my current Consultant appointments by one.
I trumped her tho’ as one of my Consultants is very vocal on T——-r regarding politics in general plus obvious emphasis on medical matters.

Four ice lollies down, I think my time is nearly up.

You're going at this the wrong way, what you need is a nice warm drink.

I'm in a pub in Ayr after having dinner and they are playing the Slade Christmas song

Why, just why I didn't know that Scotland used a different calendar..

Air con just ticking over

Well, the red wine worked wonders. After the second glass, I'd forgotten that I was warm. Mind, it's cooled down to 28.9C thus invalidating the experiment. Let's hope it's warm again tomorrow.

Homemade mushroom burgers* shoved into a ciabatta rolls for supper, and a tomato & basil salad on the side.

* basically, a couple of brackets of oyster mushrooms with mozzarella pushed in between the individual ears, seasoned with salt, pepper and drizzled with olive oil, and then shoved into the George Foreman grilly thing until crispy at the edges.

I've just come back from our cycle ride . We set off just after 5.30. It was still quite warm but with the wind chill factor of cycling it was pleasant. We stopped of at arrived bridge to look at the fish and the pretty blue Damsel flies . Whilst I was looking at the fish I saw a large Eel swim fast up stream and under the bridge. It looked to be about 3 feet long .

It's wazzing down in Anglesey and not that warm
*edit .... just unkorked a bottle of red so things don't seem so bad listening to a few tunes under the awning as the rain beats down. It's 13c.

They're just testing the rain quality before sending it off to Manchester. Proper quality control!

I decided to be brave and sample a Laphroaig. Very nice actually. Don't see why some hate it.

I like Islay malts but they're a bit in your face. The Speyside malts are much more delicate, refined even. But bland compared to the island stuff. Talisker is a bit more polite than Laphroaig, whereas Lagavulin is sublime (but needs a mortgage first).

I'll have to take your word for that LOL
