So Andrew Lloyd Webber is heartbroken that Cinderella has been cancelled!

I can`t believe he is heartbroken over the loss of a fairy tale that everybody has either read or seen in some format or other!
I have a little suspicion he is more concerned at the loss of ticket sales for his big production!

You can get a bus direct from Ireland to Land of Nod? Wish my bus services were as good ...

One bus every night in time for bed and one back again every morning in time for work.

It's really misty here this morning.

I'm riding to the library in Sywell bus shelter, soon, before it gets too warm..

It's a sticky business, all this warmth.

Still and hazy, the day hasn't warmed up fully but the flat hasn't cooled down fully either. 3 teas down, time to graduate to coffee.

It's not really the heat that gets to you. I've been in places at far hotter temperatures without any issues. But they were all dry heats. What does get to you is the humidity. 20 years ago, I was working for 6 months at the foot of the Pyrennees (north side) and the temperature was slightly lower than we've had here now, but the humidity was something like 98% - everyone left a trail of sweat everywhere they went.

True enough. It was pretty humid in London yesterday and everything got very clammy. It's the kind of weather that makes it too hot to stop cycling because once out of the breeze, the pores go into overdrive.

Meanwhile, the weather forecast is for thundery showers until the evening. The thing is that there's hardly a cloud in the sky. There must be a big bank of angry cloud somewhere to the south and out of view from my flat.

The old phone box two villages away from here had been turned into a book swap. Unfortunately, BT or whoever owns it wrote to the parish council and told them they couldn't use it and to prevent any futher unauthorised use, they would be removing the phone box. The box has stood unused for years and years until recently.

We build our own small boxes and put books in them, sometimes a fine bit of folk art occurs.

Two fully loaded tourers just went past on Anglesey, phew, looks like hard work
