Time does be flying Doug. Nice story to start the day on, too.

 

Beach day with grandparents and kids yesterday, bodyboarding in the waves (with wetsuits) for 5 out of the 6, sat in a chair minding the dogs catching mild hypothermia for the remainder. Not fun to watch the elderly turn even elder, but I suppose it's better than the alternative. 

 

Swimming in the Atlantic today (without wetsuits) with a spot booked in a horsebox sauna right next to the water for Granny and me today, then lunch with the whole team.

 

Very tempted to build a sauna on an old trailer I have sat behind the shed, they are a great invention. 

 

Luckily you. I really miss the sea, having grown up with it within quite easy reach, north and south coasts. It's the worst thing about living in the Midlands, you can't get much further away from the coast! My wetsuit lies in a bag in the loft, neglected but not yet forgotten.

 

Easy garden day at home here. Just me and the lad as she's out for the day. I'm enjoying this hot but sub 30 degree temperature. 25 is about ideal for me.

I just meant water with a tongue firmly in cheek. Been doing a bit of whitewashing lately, that's a nice cheap and easily thinnable substance. 

Might not work for your application, though.

That stuff is a pisstake if ever there was one. Normal, garden variety, cocktail quality white spirit cleans brushes just fine.

Morning

 

Lovely and clear last nigh. Saw a few meteorites and the crescent moon was toasty orange.

 

Grey and dull now but heating up. Not looking forward to the heat later but looking forward to a few days off.

 

Keep hydrated and enjoy.
