Relocated

So when bro and mbfiatw Jean email/text me to say there's an ongoing heat wave in Essex, I go "yeah, right" as I drip in Istanbul. Ahem. Arrived in Chelmsford at lunchtime to find everyone's garden looks like mine. Good grief. Has Chelmsford been moved to southern Turkey? It's hotter and drier here than it was in Akbuk last week.  Now where is my swimming cozzie....? oh, yeah. No Aegean here. Bro came round at the end of his work day with much to say about it, mostly not printable.  Brits don't really do heat when in England, do they? At least Tortie and guinea pigs seem to be enjoying themselves... 

For the edification of the weather maker man, please note: 
Akbuk, Turkey:  37.3761° N, 27.2647° E
Istanbul: 41° 0' N, 28° 58' E 
Chelmsford: 51.7356° N, 0.4685° E

and temperatures should be arranged accordingly, thank you.




Can't let the day slip by without mentioning it would have been Mum and Dad's 66th wedding anniversary today.
