100F aka 37.7778C today ... whew an I go jump in the condo pool now? it's only 85F / 29.4444C

Boston is hotter than here. I only got to 32C. Relief is coming, baked bean.
 
Morning.
It is a bit grey here this morning. It is dry and I can see a bit of blue sky to the south.
I was having fun working on my wife's car yesterday. It has a bit of a water leak from the engine. I thought I would put a boiled egg in to seal it . Not a literal one. Oh I do love those spring clips which requires a special tool or something with a large enough jaw opening to fit the clip. :angry: After refilling the cooling system I seem to have an air lock in there. More tinkering today. :angry:
 
My wife was doing a crossword the other day. The clue was related to the ring next to the bullseye on a dartboard. I can remember reading the rules back in the late 60's in my trusted Pears Encyclopedia saying that it was called a doser and worth 25 points. Looked in our never to be trusted again Oxford English Dictionary and low and behold no such word. They still don't know that a dolly is a metal block used for shaping metal. :angry:
It's amazing how many foreign words that they find on Countdown that I've never heard of. :angry:

Good morning from a comfortably warm but only occasionally sunny Suffolk.

Coffee has been had and the overnight bag placed by the front door ready for today's away day. Southbound via London so it's a slightly later first train than normal which gives me time for a relaxed breakfast, possibly a second cuppa and a recheck of the walking routes.
