Aprės la chaleur

Walked the hound at 5.30 this morning to avoid the heat.   The morning air was quite still and already warming up.

Quick cycle to the market but didn't linger. 

Back home just after 11 and the temperature was ramping up.  Stepping indoors into the kitchen felt like entering an air conditioned room.  Being outside has felt airless.

The thermometer has risen above 30°C in the shade.  And now it's official Cambridge recorded the highest temperature at 34.8°C.

I confined myself to being indoors. Baked a spinach eggah to have with salad for the ensuing days.  Stayed out of the kitchen while it baked.

The coolest part of the house has been downstairs.  So have sat in the living room reading and staying cool.

The clouds were quite interesting as the day closed. 

Definitely a day for some ice cream and fruit.

Temperatures will start to descend forecast assures.  

Stay cool those in the southeast. 

 Pleasant evening everyone.
