Morning.
It was a bit warm yesterday. We went down into town to see the folk festival but the parade was cancelled due to the hot weather.
I have to get our Venga'S air con recharged as it is blowing hot!

Clear blue sky and sunshine

That is a formidable looking home. Almost a strong point, in case the Normans ever return, bent on conquest. Or cider.

That's the cow barn plus hay loft next door, which looks to have been unused for many years. But with some nice arrow slits for aiming at invaders coming down from the opposite hill. The view's south-facing though rather than north - there are similar empty barns on the other side facing north.

Too far north for cider, as it's up near Hadrian's Wall, although it's always worth a try. What there are is lots of hills for bike rides with virtually no traffic.

Are you taking commissions?

My arms are saying "no" at the present I'm afraid, at least for a fortnight.

Should be at work today but still with my dad who seems to be improving but we are not there yet.

I don't have my work computer with me so can't even wfh.

Windows and doors currently open to let some cooler air in on another sunny day. Will be closing up soon.

Will be making a pork pie salad for lunch.

I thought I would bring some culture with modified Shakespearean quotes.

" Is that a new bike I see before me?".

Come to think of it it's almost what SWMBO asks me!

Good morning. Clear blue skies in York.

Clear skies in York aren't much use when you're in Germany.

Good morning from Suffolk where it's another sweltering start to the day Coffee has been had after a very good night's sleep despite the conditions.

In true 'mad dogs & Englishmen' fashion, I'm going to put a bike in the boot of the car, cover my exposed bits in the last of the current bottle of suncream and head off to Norfolk for a ride. Plenty of liquid will be taken and the car's air conditioning will be turned down to minimum. Some bulky shopping will also be done on the way home and I have a back road diversion in my mind in case the eastbound A14 problems (I noticed a large ridge developing just before the Seven Hills interchange on Sunday) aren't fixed by the afternoon.

Second cuppa going down well with a slice of toast and lemon curd spread lightly over the toast.

I had the same blowing hot problem with my car yesterday. It's picked a fine time to fail!
