Roasting

Looks like we're in the grip of yet another heat wave today, with temperatures in our garden reaching 33.4 degrees in the shade - it's too hot to do anything of use or interest!

I do go to the gym in the morning, but it's incredibly hard work today for some reason, it took every ounce of my will power to not give up a 1/4 of the way through my routine but I got there in the end. Needless to say the gym was very quiet today, and according to one of the bods who works there even those people who had been in had found it hard work as well, so I'm not alone on that front.

When I get home I sort Rupert out with his lunch and sort myself out too and then flake out on the sofa with the little fella not far behind - and an hour and half later I wake up in a pool of sweat. It's times like these where I wish I was in Greece, at least at the villa there is a pool to jump into when things got too warm! But even though I can't dive into some crystal clear waters (with the exception of the bath perhaps!) Rupert gets to play in some water when I load the watering can up and sprinkle it over him. He loves it, and it also cools him down as well as gives him plenty of fun.

Its burgers for tea tonight, but unfortunately for Phil his usual chips are off the menu because I just can't face putting the oven on - it's already too hot in the house let alone adding the stifling heat by zapping the oven on to gas mark 7 especially since the grill has to go on anyway.
