Oh yes; we are being warned about the 'canicule' ,- 'heat wave' to the rest
of you. Leaving the house this evening was like walking into a bath of warm
soup - it's been about 34 today, and we are now expecting storms, but the
temperature is not going to drop very much, it seems. I try to cycle a bit
every day - at the moment, that means getting going about 8 am to reap any
benefit of a bit of 'coolth'. Otherwise it's batten down the hatches -
close shutters, close windows and get every fan in the place going from
about 11.30 am; and whatever you do, do nowt. Watching the Tour de France
is quite satisfying - they're doing all the work and you can lie back with a
refreshing cuppa
