A friend passed this on to me on reading that it’s cool and been raining here in the north of France, thought it might make it feel a bit better:
”Civil War General Phil Sheridan's ghost is always pleased that this time of year the frequency of hearing his best quote goes way up: "If I owned Hell and Texas, I'd rent out Texas and live in Hell."
We’re still in the Tunnel area as there’s been a hold up on the Tunnel - we’re actually on a train but the noise of the stationary train is awful.

Back in Berkshire it looks pleasant out, though haven’t ventured beyond the utility room so far - unpacking and doing the washing.
According to the Met Office it will be cloudy all day with a high of 19C and will feel like 16C.
In fact it looks bright and very pleasant outside, though will take a jumper with me when I eventually go out.

Sunny and bright this morning and 15C; according to the forecast we’ll have a mixture of sunshine and cloud and a high of 21C.
Apart from Friday, when it poured, it’s been a pretty good weekend for the thousands at Reading rock festival but not good for those at Leeds, where it was reported that tents blew away, a wall fell down, latrines collapsed and at least one of the stages had to be abandoned in the storm that swept through parts of the country.

in the storm that swept through parts of the country. Our daughter lives in North West UK and returned home yesterday to very grey skies and some rain after a month with us. She was prepared by wearing jeans, a top, a hoodie and had her waterproof at the ready, after wearing shorts and ts for the past few weeks.

It’s been a very pleasant day in Berkshire and in Hampshire, where we visited my brother in his care home.
The forecast was for 24C and mostly sunshine, which it was, with a mainly southerly breeze. We visited my SIL’s grave with birthday flowers; the cemetery is beautifully situated high up with lovely rural views - if you have to be buried there can’t be many better places fir friends and relatives to visit. It was pleasantly warm with a gentle breeze and a ckear blue sky.
I’m sitting out in the garden after supper with a glass of Languedoc rosé and it’s lovely outhere; birds are gradually falling silent and it’s still 22C, very pleasant.

Pleasant at 23C with sunshine and cloud, but the east-north-easterly breeze makes it unpleasant in the shade.
