There will now be a short intermission.

The Larch.

Erm, I think Monty Python beat me to that joke actually, sorry.

BLOODY HELL it’s hot! It reached a minimum temperature of 25 degrees a night. It was so hot today I felt drained just popping to the local organic supermarket to buy salad for lunch and spent the rest of the day sprawled on the sofa in the relative cool of our lounge, which still felt as hot as an oven. I attempted the pool in the morning, and it was lovely in the pool, but on the poolside it was roasting and I gave up.

It has finally started to cool, and a wind has picked up. I’m sat in my room with my patio doors to the back terrace wide open, and unfortuanely the wind has just blown in loads of dead leaves so now my bedroom floor is littered with them and looks more like the floor of a forest in Autumn!

Anyway, I disgress…..part two awaits!!!
