Just been outside for two minutes to bring in the bins. The wagon came round extra early today - don't blame them for getting done as soon as they can today! Bumped into our usual postie while I was out there who looked done in already as it was brutal out there, and it's "only" about 30 right now.

Good job I can work from home as I slept so badly last night I'd not be driving well today. I suspect a lot of others will be feeling equally rubbish so be careful out there all if you do venture out.

I gather a number of work places have closed until Wednesday. Lots of train services are cancelled because of the worry of rails buckling in the heat.

It's so hot that I've taken the thermal liner out of my jacket

Just back from a spin around the Derbyshire dales, it's nice and cool up over the tops.

Walking doggos is a bit of a challenge / worry in this heat. Just took them for a lunchtime quick wee walk before the tarmac gets too hot. After checking it was not too hot for me to stand on barefoot, I walked in socks to make sure it was not building up too much. 5 min walk tops. That will hold them until this evening when it cools a bit. Even then it will be in the car to the local stream to avoid walking on hot roads.

Nearly 6pm and still well over 30ºC here. Poor Mabel is not liking this heat at all. I've managed to persuade her to lie on a thin blanket on the tiled kitchen floor which is still remarkably cold. She's now not panting, and generally looking more comfortable.
We're going to have to venture outside soon though for her to have a pee, as she hasn't been out since this morning. Fortunately we will only have to walk on grass, not tarmac or hard surfaces.

Trip to the stream was a success with ours, straight into a cool car after the missus came home then shady stream then home. Its a good job we live where we do

37° C / 98.6°F at Coningsby today, hottest ever recorded in Lincolnshire. 42°C / 107.6°F forecast for the Boston area tomorrow. Sounds like Palm Springs, California - forecast to be 106°F today
