Hot Hot Hot

Oh my, this week has been hot.

On Sunday Rach came up from Oxford, she stayed overnight with me then went on up to Newcastle for Tom’s graduation. Tom gained a first and I am now a very, very proud auntie of two exceedingly clever nephews who both got firsts.

It was lovely just sitting in the garden all evening and chatting with my sis. She left early Monday morning and I went off to Burnley fire station. It was like working in a greenhouse. It sapped all my energy.

Tuesday was a bit better as they sent coolers out to the session in Ashton. I was off today, thank goodness. I did decide to walk up to Walkden at midday. I did ten thousand steps in the soaring heat, but my reward was to sit in the pool in the garden all afternoon…heaven. Pat came round and dangled her feet in the water whilst we cooked under the sun.

I walked round to her house this evening for a gin in the garden. Now I’m just sitting and admiring my sunflowers.
