Too Darn Hot

First - Ramadan has begun, we wish all our Muslim readers a blessed festival.

Summer arrived. And this year we seem to be actually having a summer. The sun has been shining for the past 3 to 4 weeks. It's been 27 to 29 degrees most days. The ground is as dry as a bone.

Oh - I'm not complaining, not after last year when it rained for months on end, highest annual rainfall in over a century, and we seemed to be on flood alert almost every day. No, this year we've had no rain. (Though Wimbledon did get a little - well it wouldn't be Wimbledon without some rain).

I'm loving the sunshine - I could just do with temperatures a couple of degrees lower - and some overnight rain for the gardens. You haven't lived until you've watered an allotment ten square rods in size, by way of a five litre watering can, when the tap is at the other end of the allotment area, thirty allotments away!!

And speaking of Wimbledon...

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!.

Finally!! A British Gentlemen's Singles Champion. Our first for seventy-seven years.
