Not looking forward to extreme heat

Homebird

It is just about reaching as hot as I can bear, towards the upper 20s. If we get extreme heat for a few days I get through it by thinking that it will be over soon. At the moment next week is predicted to be around 30 all week and often the prediction gets higher as it gets closer.

I like to be outside at least some of each day, but I am not sure there will be much that is bearable. 

I am hoping they have got it wrong and it reduces sooner than Monday week.

  • In Fort William (max temp today 21C) this evening and off to Mallaig tomorrow (max temp forecast 16C). Hope it's cooling down a bit where you all are too.

    Are you doing the steam train over the Glenfinnan viaduct? Mallaig is lovely if it's not too windy! Fort William feels like it's made up of industry and guest houses!

    We watched the train go over it but even better was time spent on the beach at Morar. Got to Mallaig and waved at the islands (next time!). Fort William is a useful base but not a destination...
