Can't see much work being done today. All that heat in a confined workshop shop and no breeze...Keep your arms tight to your sides please! Makes you realise how brilliant flaps on Land Rovers were. Let the green brigade use their air conditioning while we can use our flaps.

I took the wife’s Velar out yesterday to run some errands and to top it up before heading home. It felt odd to drive, as if it was under steering. I thought that the tarmac was softening up. On the way back I flicked through the driver information screen to the tyre pressures. The drivers side (UK) that was facing the sun was at 40 psi and the opposite side tyres we at 38 psi instead of 34 psi all round….. Interestingly the tpms never said that the tyres were above the ‘Light Setting’. Anyway, all change tomorrow, I am sure the UK press will then stop panicking.

We are under house arrest to stay cool and the horses and donkeys are in their stables.

The heat has been a very dry heat (unlike the usual humid heat we seem to get) so it has not been too different to being on holiday abroad - well except I had to go to work and the beer is a lot more expensive

Tomorrow the temperature is forecast to be from 15 degrees C to 21 degrees C. Guess where the high of 15 degrees C will be. Yep right over my back yard. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai

Rashers Member Since: 21 Jun 2015 Location: Norfolk Posts: 3623	Yes, you are correct. You are that bit further north. I can’t remember what 15 deg C feels like but I guess I won’t have to wait too long for the experience. When it starts raining, I’m guessing it won’t know when to stop

Not sure if the schools were finished early, the roads were a lot more quieter than normal. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back In the words of my Good Friend, Gary Forrest 1980 -2025 " we will work something out"

I came down with COVID last week, fever and all. There was an upside to it, though: I lost all sense of taste and smell, so it didn't bother me that I had not taken a shower in 4 days...  Defender 130 HCPU Td5 MY2000
