The heat has been so relentless that I went looking for and found an old cooling fan in the shed, cleaned it up and I've had it blowing at me all evening.What a scorcher, phew, and phew again... that means it was really hot here today.
I took a parcel in for the lovely lady over the road, and because I heard all kinds of shouting and laughter coming from her back garden, I walked over to deliver the parcel.
The garden had a large circular paddling pool about a foot deep and three 10 year old girls were splashing about in it, so, I asked the lovely lady if I could sit in the pool.
After calling me all the daft old beggars, she laughed and said "OK."
There I was in my teeshirt and shorts cooling down nicely, when one of the girls poured a bucket of water over my head... I yelled, "More, more, more," and the girls laughing out loud, took it in turns to shower me
I'm back home again now and I'm like a baked potatoe, so I'll have to have a long cold shower, enjoy your evening.![]()

Thank you for the compliment, but no, I don't have the discipline, I'm too 'scatter brained'.Since I've been here, you've always shared such interesting stories. Have you or have you thought about publishing a book of essays or slice-of-life vignettes? I'm sure it would bring joy to so many.
