Well looks like I could be first today...
It was a hot night but managed to sleep ok until about 7am... read my book
Once up had breakfast... weather much cooler in fact only 18C at 8.30,, OH had gone off to golf....
looking at the sky it was decidedly grey.... imminent rain I suspect..
I had promised to deliver the face coverings today so wanted to get all those I'd still got cut finished...
Took fan up and opened the windows as it still felt quite warm...
Lasted until about 11am then claps of thunder and boy did it rain... raced round shuting all big windows...
Heard car come up the drive at about midday and garage door open... my rooms above it...
Went down to see O.H coming in like a drowned rat... soaked, clubs wet, everything wet!.... including the seat on the passenger side of his car.... he'd left the window down and the rain had poured in.... not sitting in there for a good while!
Continued sewing for the rest of the day...
Met Sammy at 6pm with 179 face coverings....
Dinner was cod loin with mustard sauce with roasted vegs..
Watched some tv...
Retire to read after this post...
Not a spectacular day....
Hope others haven't been drowned out and survived the heat...

13th August 2020,
Astoundingly, it went from 31-32 degrees centigrade of heat, yesterday....
...... down to a Foggy/Misty 24-degrees Celsius today (13th)
The sheer drastic difference between yesterday (12th) and today's weather (13th), couldn't be MORE different
Blisteringly Hot yesterday, in a short-thin-shirt, to wearing a fleece-jacket both today & this eve'.
Spare a thought for those young lads from 80-Years Ago, today (onwards), during Aug'/Sept' 1940.
Those of us who WERE defending England AND the U.K from the threat of imminent invasion !
Because TODAY 80-years ago, the German Luftwaffe 'kicked-off' ADLER-TAG = "EAGLE DAY"
"Adlertag was the first day of Unternehmen Adlerangriff....
which was the codename of a military operation by Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe...."
"To destroy the British Royal Air Force"
This WAS the pre-cursor of the per-ordained "Invasion of England" codenamed 'Operation-Sealion'
We can all praise God & thank those of stout heart & mind who defended the U.K Eight-decades ago.
Today, we ALL take those 'freedoms' for granted, the civil-liberties & freedom we enjoy each day.
But Eight-decades ago, young men of 19,20,21,22,& 23 years of age were warding-off the threat of 'Invasion'
Allowing our freedom(s) & way of life/lives to continue
Remember them....
