When you say it is hot, how hot is it? It was 36C yesterday. Central air helps. Been leaving on bike rides around 7 :30 am and try to get back by 9 :30.....hills and heat together kick my butt.

We're at just above the 30°C mark here. Which is around middlin.
Not much of a breeze to cool things down though.

A FARMER DECIDED HE WANTED TO GO TO TOWN AND SEE A MOVIE.
THE TICKET AGENT ASKED, "SIR, WHAT'S THAT ON YOUR SHOULDER?"
THE OLD FARMER SAID,
"THAT'S MY PET ROOSTER CHUCK. WHEREVER I GO, CHUCK GOES."
"I'M SORRY SIR," SAID THE TICKET AGENT.
"WE CAN'T ALLOW ANIMALS IN THE THEATER."
THE OLD FARMER WENT AROUND THE CORNER AND STUFFED CHUCK DOWN HIS OVERALLS. THEN HE RETURNED TO THE BOOTH, BOUGHT A TICKET, AND ENTERED THE THEATER.
HE SAT DOWN NEXT TO TWO OLD WIDOWS NAMED MILDRED AND MARGE.
THE MOVIE STARTED AND THE ROOSTER BEGAN TO SQUIRM. . . THE OLD FARMER
UNBUTTONED HIS FLY SO CHUCK COULD STICK HIS HEAD OUT AND WATCH THE MOVIE.
"MARGE," WHISPERED MILDRED.
"WHAT?" SAID MARGE.
"I THINK THE GUY NEXT TO ME IS A PERVERT."
"WHAT MAKES YOU THINK SO?" ASKED MARGE?
"HE UNDID HIS PANTS AND HE HAS HIS THING OUT", WHISPERED MILDRED.
"WELL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT", SAID MARGE.. "AT OUR AGE WE'VE SEEN 'EM ALL"
"I THOUGHT SO TOO", SAID MILDRED,
"BUT THIS ONE'S EATIN' MY POPCORN!"

I took the fan through to the bedroom last night which helped a lot. The house is still warm though. Can’t wait to get out for a gentle wander. Supposed to be a bit more cloud cover at times today so hopefully not quite as hot.

I had thought about getting up early and trying a jog but this heat just makes me too lethargic so a walk will have to do.
There’s a few dodgy e bikes around here just now. Couple of weeks ago I was out walking and a guy came out of a farm track and along the road in front of me without even pedalling although it did have pedals.

Good day 
says it all.
The last week or so seems to have been non-stop. I shall draw breath and try to catch up with myself today though this week looks to be pretty busy already. Very vague mentions yesterday a second grandchild is being considered, so we're thinking "Geez that means two on Tuesdays in about two years time!" Shite, I'll be 70!
So back to today!!! Got a treasurer's meeting at 10.30 but nothing else planned, as the rest of the week is busy with small person Tuesday, cycling Wednesday and Thursday and walking Friday my thought is to crack on with the household chores today. I'd like to get the bed stripped and changed but someone is still using it!!! 
@Dave7 the speed awareness course was OK, more interesting and shorter than the one I did 10-15 years ago. That was a full day in a classroom. Last week's was 2.5 hours on Zoom. Aside from speed there was a focus on some driving skills. I did learn a few things; two which immediately come to mind:
"Tyres and tarmac" - at junctions, lights etc. leave enough space between you and the vehicle in front to see both and moving away as the traffic starts is much smoother. It works. The instructor stated if everyone did this twice as much traffic could flow through a set of lights at one time. Dunno about that. The other thing, which was completely new to me, is the most likely place for the speed limit to change is at a junction. Apparently the vast majority of changes to the limit occur at this point. It makes sense once you know it but I didn't.
I shall be back for a bite of lunch

@Chief Broom how are your tomatoes? All well with you?
There’s an official trial going on in the Bournemouth/ Christchurch / Poole areas. E scooters along side the Beryl Bikes. No bikes / scooters allowed on the Prom after 10am ( it’s a good commuter route being several miles long )
Running in the heat is a matter of lowering your pace and not thinking about how hot it is! ( I’ve done a few races in the heat)

Good morning from a warm and sunny Coventry, I opened the windows and back door about seven this morning, I'm feeling a bit more lively this morning, I did sod all yesterday, it always feels like I've wasted the day if I do that.

A quickie. @Dirk I harvested my elephant garlic yesterday, very pleased with them. When I dug up the corms I found lots of bulbils in the ground and attached to the base of the corm. I know these will grow and produce more garlic in the future and I'll be doing this. Just wondered if you had any experience with them.
