Aah yes! That first mouthful of hot black coffee!

A sign of getting older? I had to ask my wife if she would cut my toenails.

Sitting at West Middlesex Hospital for a 09:00 appointment for a Nerve Conduction Study. This is to determine whether I have Carpal Tunnel issues.

Last evening’s partial eclipse from my back garden…

It’s currently, just after 8 am here in London, 71°F. It’s heading up to a forecast high of 94° this afternoon, with a ‘feels like’ temperature of 97°F (36°C)

IT’s not been a bad day today. I’ve been at work, but it’s been sensible hours 7-4. I’ve finished work and headed to the pub for a beer, and it’s nice and relaxing. I’m enjoying a pint of Fuller’s ESB.

I know about petrichor, and I’ve smelt it before. However, I am sitting in my front room, with the windows open, and headphones on. I got this really overpowering smell of dampness, and then I realised it had been gently spitting with rain outside. I’ve just never smelt it that strongly before, and never whilst indoors.

First of two days off. I got up late again after catching up on some sleep. This evening is Vinyl Night at the Mason’s Arms, but Kathy has an evening dental appointment now, which has thrown a spanner in the works a bit. We shall see how it all pans out. More important to get her toothache sorted!

Well, that’s a first! I woke up when Kathy was getting ready for work, stayed in bed, and went back to sleep until after nine! I’ve only been getting 4-5 hours of sleep each night over the past few days, so it was needed. From tomorrow, I can go back to a regular bedtime.
