Cooler

The heat was unbearable yesterday even in the house with the fan on and the curtains closed. It did not cool down much as it got dark it was 60+ on the barometer. Not a good night for sleeping........DB was ok, but I was awake several times and then found it difficult to drop off again.

It is cloudy and a lot cooler this morning, the sun keeps trying to come through.

I need to tackle a set of angels possibly just 6 this time for some friends, another Christmas present. I really want to do a mandala for my neighbour across the road, it is going to take some doing, will need to have the lap top by my side when I start.

DB is out in the garden, we did get a few strawberries yesterday, but unless we get a second flush they are about finished. Raspberries still to come. We did loose a lot of flowers to a late frost, so maybe not as many as in previous years.

I need to finalise my delivery order, due for delivery on Sunday. keep remembering things I have missed off.

A bit of good news, my cars MOT has been put back to 30th Dec. As soon as our garage is open I will get it booked in, its due a service in September.

We are debating whether to come out of purdah, I have a nasty feeling, thanks to the idiots who flocked to the beaches and caused chaos yesterday, we may well be in for a second wave......there are a lot of cases in Leicester which have come out since the social distancing has been relaxed. 650 cases, all in the the areas where there is a large immigrant population. 5 schools have had to be closed and a teacher at one of the schools has also tested positive for the virus. 

Here in Melton area we have been very lucky, very few cases and even then very mild.

Supper is the usual Friday fish and chips, will have to find something for dessert......might make creme caramel, although I have no cream to go on them.
