Just back from me son's place, he cooked a nice Father's Day Tea. Had a lounge on the patio earlier this afternoon, rather noisy - squealy kid 2 doors up, planes flying over from Gatwick, steam train chuffing through me village and whistling. Still, not as bad as me next door neighbour mowing his lawn with his chug, chug, chug, chug old mower.
Tedious drive down to Sussex. I'm guessing a lot of people wanted out of London today.
Mum spent most of the afternoon complaining about a noisy bird that she said was making a ticking noise but to me it sounded more like a chuh chuh chuh noise.
The drive home was uneventful and I found a parking spot that wasn't under a tree.
The duvet cover was dry when I got back (I put it outside before I left this morning) and the WM has just finished with the mattress protector.
Sunny start, with mares tails across the sky doing nothing to filter out the dazzling rays of the sun. It’s 18°C already and expected to reach 28° by teatime; the barometers are up a little more at 1016/1024mB
Morning all
Phew, what a scorcher.
CBS, etc.
Currently 23C out, I should have gone out for our walk at 04:15, but didn't go until 05:30. Now cooling off at my desk with the blackout blinds drawn to stay cool.
One of the great things about WfH in this weather is "business from the waist up". It's definitely a day for shorts.
Blue sky with wisps and contrails. Gentle breeze wafting about. Currently 22 degrees ('feels like' 25) with a high of 29 expected. Barometer up to 1026 mBar.
Sunrise 04:44; Sunset 21:23 BST
Assorted clothings in the WM.
The delicate sound of angle grinders fills the air (the council doing its pavement works), joining the sound of aircraft leaving Heathrow.
EDIT: Thank you DrS for pointing out I'd picked up an OM. How times have changed
