I've been trying to finish my garden, but this heat is really killing me. I think this picture of my Boxer says it all, he's too hot to even play with his favourite tennis ball...  |

 Been sat in the stands at Avon Park today, watching the Nostalgia Nats drag races. Perspiration was pouring off us, (Dave_Postie, Janie_Postie & myself). Well, obviously Janie merely glowed a little, being a lady-person, but Dave & I sweated bucketfuls. Very welcome downpour at around 4.30 this afternoon finished off the racing for the weekend but didn't cool it down one little bit. W-a-y too hot.

We had the mother of all Thunder storms last night, one crack sounded like it was directly above our house, the whole place shook, and my little 9 year old daughter was scared sh*tless. The rain came down in sheets, and the wind picked up, so I stood outside and took some deep breaths, as it had become a damn sight cooler and the air was crisp....lovely it was ! But today is boiling again, there are some more Thunder storms forecast, but the bad news is, they are giving 33-34 degree's for tomorrow.... OH MY ******* GOD !  |

Hiya. Wish I had a bike on the road to ride! Just been told the free bike I was given by one of the 100% Biker forum chaps is ready for collection. A non running VF750 Honda, (V four shaft drive). He's been waiting for a duplicate logbook to arrive for it. Now I've got to go collect it -from Aberwystweth.
Where do you work then Urban?

. A non running VF750 Honda, (V four shaft drive). I don't mean to p*ss on your chips Manky, and besides,you most probably already know, but those VF's were the thorn in Honda's side so to speak. They tarnished Honda's name for many years, and as I like Honda's, it was usually the culprit for a good argument in the pub...lol Later models had the modification as standard, but all the rest had a recall, and as you can guess some never made it. But bikes still around today would have had the modification...hopefully ! |

That sounds impressive Urban!  Yeah, I've heard all about the dodgy VF cams Ziggy, but, hey, it's free! Had a text from Rainbow earlier. She manages a branch of Icelands. Someone's vandalised their air con unit overnight so the Land of Ice is distinctly hot & sticky today. |

I think the weather is wonderful but then I do work in an air-conditioned office, and the aircon actually seems to be working at the mo!
I did decide to forget Poole Quay tonight in favour of sitting in the garden.......

I've had to get the giant parasol out to keep me in the shade  ! It's mental weather but very nice if you keep out of the direct sunlight |
