It is ten degrees cooler this morning and very dull. Apparently it is in the lap of the gods whether or not we catch a thunderstorm today. Certainly the garden is saying 'yes please'. The sky is leaden. My heart goes out to the families in part of London where something like ten homes went up in smoke - we are just not used to things like this happening here but with climate change maybe we shall have to get used to it.
I am feeling more like myself today and did at least go out and trim the dead heads off my tubs by the front door.
Wasn't it good to see JakeWightman win the World 1500metres championship while his Dad was commentating. And to see the sportsmanship when the man he beat so unexpectedly congratulated him the second the race was over. And then to see the pleasure on Steve Cram's face (the last Brit to hold the title all those years ago).
Well it is now half past seven = still super dull but not a single spot of rain = we can but hope. See you tomorrow,

Yes, much cooler today - even to the point of me wearing a cardie for our evening stroll.
But no rain here, either. We shall sleep much better!
Yes there was a pleasant cool breeze this evening wasn't there?
As we are nowhere near our Summer yet, the extreme heat in the U.K. and Europe has me concerned as to what we may be in for as
we often had reached temps of 41 and 42 degrees and not seen that as unusual at all. Does it mean our furnace-like heat will become even more so? Pointless to worry l guess, until we are in the midst of it. Take one day at a time. - Pam, Aust.
We could use some rain and our temperatures in the mid-30s*C are forecast to cool again next week, but Sunday may be 38*C if the forecast doesn't change. Still, that's normal for late July/early August for us in Virginia.
Hugs!
'It is in the lap of the gods'. I have never heard that but I like it. Glad it is cooler for you.
Glad you have survived the extreme heat. Are there more hot spells forecast this summer for you?
Sounds like here. We were promised some rain, and even a storm; but nothing.
Definitely cooler this morning and some rain overnight as well.
Dull and cooler today here - no rain - poor garden is asking for it.
