The door on my shed has warped because of the heat. Once it cools down a bit it will go back into shape.
We have some rain forecast for next week, but not a lot.

I have bimbled before it gets any hotter 
23 miles is plenty out there today. One or two others out but not as many as I thought there would be. Suppose some folks have to go to that awful thing called w**k. 
It'll just be a sandwich for lunch.
The last High5 hydration tabs I ordered are pink grapefruit. They are rather pleasant. Think they might be my favourite flavour. I have tried citrus and tropical but these are even nicer.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

I has just enjoyed an hour in bed.....totally zonked out.
Its really too hot to do anything meaningful. I will listen to the radio then watch some tv.
I lay on top of the bed for an hour too. It's slightly cooler at the back of the house as that is the direction the breeze is coming from today.
Don't think there's anything I fancy on telly tonight.

Hello, I'm back. We enjoyed a good morning at RHS Bridgewater and I had the most wonderful escape. After our walk round at 12.00 Mrs P suggested lunch, I'm sure one could eat The Savoy for less. Mrs P took one look at the queues and shook her head. We were just leaving and I was breathing easy when Mrs P announced we "might as well" pop in to the plant centre which is adjacent to the cafe. Now with my background I know this is probably THE most expensive plant centre in the UK and I know where all the plants come from and their wholesale price. So I'm now breathing harder and starting to sweat. We've been in there five minutes when the fire alarm went off and staff required everyone to leave! RESULT!
Been out for a very pleasant gravel ride, lots of shady canal towpaths and wooded trails. Only 30 miles in three hours but a great crack with friends. We were supposed to be riding to Dent and Barbondale today. A couple of us declined on the basis of the weather which I don't think was very popular with the others who were going. In my view 4-5 hours on a bike in full sun in these temperatures is foolhardy. This is Barbondale, note the heavy shade cover!

I haven’t actually seen him for nearly a week. Maybe he’s found someone to take him in. I hope so.
Molly is back to eating well again but the vet noticed the start of gingivitis so she’s going in for a dental clean under anaesthetic end of the month.

Evening all . I had today all planned . Quick ride early, water the plants then spend the rest of day hiding from sun. So it’s three o’clock and my next door neighbour bangs on the door in a panic. Some little scrote has set fire to the hedge next to our carparking area. We managed to put the first fire easily ( which was good as it was right next to my car) . But the the other one had really taken hold luckily we could get a hosepipe to it and it plus a bucket relay managed to put it out which was a good job as the fireman were busy on another big grass fire . The fire would have reached the woods if we had waited for them . It amazing what a group of old men in slippers can do when they put their mind to it 😂😂😀
I hope you didn’t get any glass splinters in your elbow 😉
