Veterans & Armed Forces Day here in Seaford.  Glorious sunshine & loud applause as they marched through town.

Funny world we live in. Europe is setting heat records day by day while I sit on my little hill just north of LA where by this time of year it is usually 90F or above on a consistent bases. Yesterday we just had our second consecutive days of 80F or above for the first  time this year. I was in Rosarito, MX (just south of San Diego) two weeks ago and the high for the week was 74F with only one other day reaching 70F. Is it global warming or global shifting? Only the true believers know for sure.

I've been repairing some stone steps in the garden and laying a cobble path, determined to finish it whatever the weather. It's been so hot I've done it in chunks then gone indoors to cool off. The met office reckon it was just 78 but it felt a lot hotter.

I am just moving from one room to another in my flat trying to find a cool spot, looking forward to a cooler day tomorrow.

We're road tripping in California. Weather a bit unpredictable, but it was scorching in Yosemite and hotter still in Joshua Tree. Heading back Nth up highway 1 tomorrow to SF.

Went to see Cheshunt v St Margaretsbury to tick of the stadium.

My bus never showed up so had to take an expensive Uber.
Also, it was actaully on the 3G pitch next to stadium and it started an hour earlier (at 2pm) without having notified anyone.
Hence I missed the first 30 min.
Also there was no shadow so that was not pleasant.

Ah well.

where did you live in Kent Vinnie?I used to live in Holden near Deal before moving back to London prior to coming here last year to be nearer the Kids and Grandkids. Whitstable is great but can get a little overwhelmed on days like today.Always good for food and live music.The oysters are to die for,if you like them.

I was in Dartford and before that Bexley heath. Loved it there but it was going downhill - mainly feral teens on bikes. Bought our place here in South Somerset to retire to in a few years time but I took early retirement so here we are now. Went back to Bex last week for a few beers with old mates still nice to visit [emoji16]

At the cottage on the island since yesterday fishing Sea Trout (without any luck), BBC and reading books / drinking wine. The weather is fantastic!
Only Sweden has Swedish gooseberries.

Its suppose to warm up this week. I should warn you I'm  slightly above a 1000 meters so we are consistently cooler. Did you enjoy the open sewer in San Francisco? Tip about LA, don't drive between 7AM and 7PM. The traffic can really be bad.
Don't mean to be a downer but I fell out of love with Cali some years ago. This time next year I hope to be in Idaho.

Thanks Jim , I've not been LA for many years and had been told driving anywhere was awful, I got a 16 year old granddaughter with me and she's got a couple of spots in mind like universal studios etc. Thought we may stay Laguna area till we take off for Sydney.

Universal is fun. Its geared a bit towards young people so she should be in her element. e safe  here and on the trip home.

And then did you hear the one about 1.5m of hail falling in Guadalajara?
