It's a 3 mug morning here. 29C inside, 29C. I'm hiding inside because it's still warming up outside. Oh, and it's my birthday. I think the weather owes it to me to mark my birthday with the hottest day ever. It's already been the hottest night.

Happy birthday @deptfordmarmoset May your evening can of Carlsberg be properly chilled and fizzy

I think we got lucky with the weather today - it got to about 25°C early on and then just stuck there thanks to a decent on-shore breeze. Meanwhile 10 miles inland in Ipswich it got to around 38°C.
Doing my bit for saving water by putting the plug in the bath while having a shower and the using the collected water on the plants in the garden.

I'm guessing someone had it in their attic. It's a left hand drive Bedford although it has "Feuerwehr" on the side.

Anyone know anything about Corgi Toys who can shed some light on it?

Around the £40 - £45 mark.

Just back from the craft beer and pizza place in Deptford, where it spat a few half-hearted raindrops much in the way that you'd expect a cloud to sweat. There's a generous wind out there now, and it's brought the temperature down to such an extent that I almost stopped to put a jacket on as I rode into the breeze.

I had a very entertaining evening discussing BRM F1 cars (amongst other things) on Messenger with my mate Simon.

Now it's time for a and some athletics action on the TV.

You know it's going to be a bad day when it takes 4 attempts to spell English, the subject you're teaching.

I don't think they noticed.

What is this strange grey fluffy stuff in the sky, could it be cloud and if it is perhaps it might RAIN

Same here, with a forecast of storms and rain at about 5 pm, because I'm cycling back from work then. Fortunately it's a short commute of about 10 minutes instead of a long 35 minute commute today.
