My trip to town was good. A lovely sunny afternoon and evening. What was noticeable was how FEW commuters there were - not many office folk in the City and bars and cafés were shut there. However, tourists a-plenty. The whole area around The Tower and Tower Bridge was absolutely buzzing. Even the Thames pleasure cruisers were all full.

No, maris, I haven't. I'm not trained in hairdressing and only do family. My daughter often gets asked where she gets her hair cut. When she says her mum did it, they ask if I will cut their hair. I have told my daughter to always say no. This morning it was brilliant sunshine until about half an hour ago. Now it looks like the predicted rain will be coming shortly to an area near me.

Anyone had this forecasted deluge yet? We're still waiting for it to happen.

Bach & Sons with Simon Russell Beale. I really loved it but poor reviews, I note 🤔

No deluge so far, Ron. I am pleased because I had to pop to the post box with some cards. August is a very busy month (and expensive) in our family.

Morning all: Busy day ahead, popping to brother in laws to deliver his birthday present then into town. Horrific scenes
from Athens, Greece. Terrible fires raging there.

I just reminded myself this morning, when I saw the heavy rain, that many places on Earth would be really thrilled to get some rain. It's a pity, that there is no way that countries with too much rain, could share the water with countries where people are dying due to drought. It's very dark here, not like morning at all. The heatwave is predicted to be coming back soon.
