I was a little concerned when I heard her over the comm's asking the pilot to ditch me in the bay.And did you notice that she'd doubled the life insurance but just for this morning?

Been peaking at 33 here, although the peak lasts half the day. I thought being further north it'd be colder!

Is that sort of temp unusual there?

The Sun may be at a lower angle, but it's up for longer. There can be bizarre summer temperatures in Siberia, further from the mitigating effect of the sea.

Similar here, it does knock me about a bit. We wouldn't normally hit Turkey at this time of the year so only ourselves to blame really.

Averages are allegedly 21° / 10° for June, with odd days much higher. I believe it's been a record month although not the hottest ever day. Probably get about another hour or 2 daylight

I think living in Scotland has seriously adjusted my internal temperature gauge - it was 21 degrees here the other day and I found it unbearably hot!
This was my recent holiday up to the Highlands!

Looks fabulous.... I'm making the carer watch re-runs of the series 'vera' in the hope he will agree to us moving back to my birthplace....
Slowly, but surely, he's coming round to my way of thinking......

You don't even need a van nowadays!
You can buy blow up beds that go over the backseat of your car - looks super cosy!

Having just returned all I can say is 'do it'. I still have no idea why anyone would choose to live in Stafford if other options are available.Looks fabulous.... I'm making the carer watch re-runs of the series 'vera' in the hope he will agree to us moving back to my birthplace....

If money & family were no object, then I would have gone long ago..... As much as I love Stafford my home calls me back.

I've lived here all my life for 66 years, Stafford born & bred and always loved it. Hubby moved here 40+ yrs ago when we got married , as he also liked it here.
BUT.... as well as us wanting to move closer to son ( and no family left up here now) , feel now is the right time to finally leave Stafford as it just isn't the same as it used to be.
If all goes well , we shall soon be living where we have been enjoying so many short breaks.
Watch this space....

A mere 33c here today. Motorbike arrived at sparrow fart, seemingly none the worse for it's two weeks being trailered across the continent. Will go for a bit of a blast later. p Jr off in his Citroën Ami exploring the performance envelope available to a vehicle limited to 28mph. Bit of work this afternoon via zoom. So far nobody has twigged that I'm on holiday and not in the office...
