    Morning Beanie :) Glad the FB meeting went OK. We were going to go to the van last night but we were just too hot to travel :o Hope you manage to stay cool. Lots of ice in any gin consumed is my top tip of the day ;) xx

    Glad the Sketchers survived, I put my @sics trainers through the wash twice recently after I had to wade through lots of muddy water and they survived fine [and smell better :o:o].

    Stay cool beanie - I might finally fill my ice cube trays myself, actually :) Currently 31 here, 35 forecast by 2pm, and to make ready for thunderstorms and power cuts (and loss of water) from 4pm! Power cuts are because of thunderstorms, loss of water is because the mains are buckling underneath the pavements. Our water mains were renewed a few years ago, so I'm hoping they'll be okay - but modern work always seems to be more sensitive than the Victorian engineering it replaces!



    Anyway, have a good un, beanie xxx
