Good morning.

I had a fun weekend. A lot of it was spent outside in the park. Yesterday was the hottest day in the UK since recording keeping began in the 1800’s. As all the tabloids were anxious to run as their main headline this morning, it was the first time 100 degree’s fahrenheit was recorded. That’s just under 38 degree’s celsius. It was at times too hot but I had some good reading done in the park yesterday with a break in-between to go into a dark room to watch a movie.

I’m getting ahead of myself tho. Saturday was Trev’s birthday and we had no joy on the boat front so we were off to the park for knacker drinking. At least that was the plan. We got there to find it was too hot to do anything but sit around in a pub with a cold drink. Trev has developed a taste for Pimms lately so we had a ‘terribly gay’ afternoon sitting around drinking jugs of Pimms and lemonade. It was good. Later on when it had cooled down a little we sat down in some shade in the park and had a bit to eat followed by a kick around of a football. It was good fun but still too hot so we went on a bit of a pub crawl along Clapham high street. No, funnily enough we skipped the 2 Brewers and finished off in the Railway which was very nice indeed.

So it was a good day in all, good weather, good beer and good company. Really fucking hot with about 85% humidity did sap it a little but we managed to keep it together and finish off around midnight.

Sunday was just sitting in the park and reading and then nipped over the bridge to Fulham road for a preview of American Pie: The Wedding which was good fun. I laughed a lot. Like the first two movies it has one moment in it which had the audience clapping and cheering but for the rest it was laughter all the way. A fun summer movie.

Last night I watched The Iron Giant for the first time which was a fun movie. Nicely animated with some good robot moments, “soooooperman” ranking right up there.

Friday night is a topic for later…maybe 😉
