Wakened at my usual time and checked the temperature. It was already 19C outside and 23C in my bedroom so just went back to sleep for a bit. Mebbe try tomorrow but it looks to be just as hot.
A doing nothing outside day I think as I find the heat now a bit too much for me.
Might need to shut my window soon. A neighbour is a bagpipe instructor and it sounds as tho' he is teaching some very new novice.

I was just thinking about the adverts on the TV and wish we could go back to the days of the Cadbury Flake, Life with Katy OXO ad. All I seem to see these days are do it yourself funerals and equity release!

Give up watching day time telly I’ve been watching Repeats of Heart beat I record them and skip the ads Except for the rather nice lady advertising walk in showers i

I only watch DVD these days purposely no TV connection or internet indoors. Blissful.

You know, out in Bedford, MIT has a test lab for many sorts of sensors on aircraft, and I suppose anything experimental would need to b tested around there to see how it would show up on radar or whatever else may be used to sense aircraft presence in the field. There are other projects in the area that may have some presence as well.

I remembered a Cadbury's ad about a ''pint and a half in every one'' the other day. The new version is there's a ''glass and a half in everyone.'' What, everyone?

I often wondered if that held true for every bar size, a pint and a half in a 200g bar would be a fair bit. In a 1kg bar however...

Now the bars are getting smaller anyway, it'll save on changing the glass sizes every time.

As they've changed ''every one'' to ''everyone'' it's complete nonsense. What is there a glass and a half of in me, in you, in the baby in the buggy downstairs? As it's undefined it could be anything.

Blame EU regulations.

Anyhow, on to more pressing business. My bread has gone mouldy. The nearest decent bread is about a mile away. I'm going to have to get a jacket on because it's cool and damp outside.

It is too hot.

I was trying to do a bit of cycle mechanics this morning but it is just too hot, the sweat means my glasses slide down my nose and the sweat running into my eyes means I can't see what I'm doing and the dark coloured frame is hot to touch and I can't concentrate with the heat and I can't find the spanner I had a few minutes ago. 😓

Still no water either. I look forward to winter. This is unbearable.

In North Wales - lovely and cool this morning - ideal for a quick 19 miles although a stinging head wind on the return leg. It's about 18c. Pedal to the pub later - it's into the headwind on the way, unless the tide changes ! MrsF prefers headwinds 'first', not on the way home.
