And set to get worse. No trains from Hammersmith today, so my intended Richmond pub crawl off. Hope it's not too hot for Glasto. I don't know what that is, but my new scullery maid asked for time off to go. I refused, of course. What's it like where you are ?
Scorchio down here near the Solent. Continuing to dig out for a new pathway and patio in the back garden. Plenty of water intake. Finished yesterday to watch the play of final and sunk the coldest of Spanish lagers in minutes. Don’t normally drink lager but these are lager days.

At least they won't have to do any work, no one's buying a hot pie today!
