We had sun yesterday (eventually) but it was still only 18c yet I travelled inland 80 miles and it was 27c!

good grief its gone from hot water bottle to pass the ice cube and cold showers in a spate of 48 hours. What next ! A vulture flying to Scotland for some haggis!? CB

Still very warm sunny in the west.
Yesterday I cycled east and it got cooler. Crossed the Forth and went north into fife and it gradually warmed. Heading back west it gradually warmed and off came layers of clothing. By the time I got back to Glasgow I was down to one light top and too hot. It was 9pm!

Suze maybe you should do what Jonathan does and ride zillion of miles to keep cool !

Wow Jonathan, I couldn't even do that on my electric bike !
Just put lemon juice in my hair, and it looks like I haven't washed it for weeks now, got dirt on face from gardening and blue from painting a Tort house and I look like a ruffian from Braveheart !!

I went into Lidl in a similar state and everything was fine until I tried to leave. The security guard suspected I had more than 5 crossants in my (5 for a pound) bag and required a thorough checking of said bag of croissants, receipt and other contents of bags generally. I think this is taking things to extremes specially as the guy at the checkout had already checked that I had 5 croissants in the bag.

You must look like trouble, Jonathan!!

[Jan W]

Jonathan - I do hope you received an apology.

CB - must have been a tort housing weekend. The comment from my husband after painting and sorting the substrate and pea shingle was "You do look a state". He was of course right - my face looked like I hadn't washed for a week.

Ha jonathan was Braveheart !! Lidl should run our Immigration protocols and Borders!!

ha Jan ! I believe it . No one told me Hammerite doesn't wash off either !!! hammeriting an old table...oh my friend says its so easy...so I slap it on like wood stain still looking like a ruffian from Braveheart and then looked like I had actually been in battle as the hammerite splatt looked like masses of bruises down my legs!!


Apparently thunderstorms due ! We need pickies ! CB
