another scorcher and apples
First day back in the pool for a while. Hardly anyone there. The only person in my lane was the old biddy who keeps stopping to talk to people and is erratic in her choice of lanes. Has been known to switch lanes and get in just in front of you. Today she was chatting at one end and waited until I just got there and was turning round when she set off again getting in my way. Ah well. Did 30 mins until the bell went.
Waitrose on the way home to get a few bits for tonight including restocking up on Harissa paste which I only recently discovered and has proved to be a hit. Brioche buns for John’s burger. We are having a bbq seeing as it is going to be another scorcher.
…
Tuesday ended up being a scorcher. Real Californian weather. Anne and I put in some time clearing the bottom of the garden until it was time for me to go and pick up John from school and take him to Tesco to get some passport photos for his upcoming History A Level Russia trip. He will be the third Davies to make the trip. Whilst at Tesco had the Peugeot cleaned. It’s been sat under the conifers collecting sap or whatever these trees ooze over the summer.
Couple of lagers in the Morning Star before cooking solo on the BBQ. The others had eaten early as Anne had to go ot Craft Group and John to hockey training.
Woken up at midnight by Joe who decided he was coming home after all – Pylons session out at Bridge Farm.
The other news of the day is that The Great British Bake Off is moving from the BBC to C4. Everyone is predicting the demise of the programme. The two presenters have already resigned and Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry are also predicted to go.
Featured image is apples from one of our trees. Quite small this year.
