Update2

As we swelter here in a heatwave my thoughts have turned from updating this Blog to how are my tomatoes coming on and have I watered the potatoes enough. In short it is too hot to be inside and consequently I have neglected this Blog. If I had laptop or notebook I suppose I could be lazing in my garden, or in the Park tapping away on the keyboard and committing my thoughts and views for eternity on the Internet. Unfortunately I have a desktop which despite its antiquity (5 years old- which in PC world is like being over 100)still works - after a fashion- and I am loathe to replace it. My wife wants a Tablet, specifically an Ipad. Me I am very distrustful of Apple and its wares.

The heat has also affected my running. My long run  last Sunday was 14 miles. I left the house just before 7am as I wanted to miss the heat. Luckily I did but it caught me out on my run home from work on Tuesday where after 3 miles I had to stop as I was drenched in sweat and feeling pretty grotty.

The temperature in my  office reached 28C yesterday lunchtime. No air con upstairs for me so  I had to go downstairs and answer phones with the rest of them just to get away from the heat.

My wife will tell you that I am particularly grumpy in the heat but with heat levels here reaching 28c I have gone into holiday mode and I am finding it difficlut to concentrate at work

Of course the heatwave (its officially a heatwave now) has meant that anti social behaviour on the estate I manage has soared as garden parties turn into drunken fights. Luckily benefits can only pay for one or two nights of drunken/drug excess even if your tipple is Frosty Jack cider or Lambrini or skunk, so things will calm down until next payday in a fortnight's time.

In the meantime we go round, interview the complainants try and tackle the pepetrators and wait for it all to kick off again.
