It's already 30 C here in Broadgate Park hall of residence, expected to peak at 31 C at 16:00.
I delivered my car to Tesla in West Bridgford just before 08:00 and walked about 7.5 km back to my digs wearing my favourite long skirt. It's a two layer wraparound quite good for warmish to coolish weather and this morning it was just right. But it's a bit too much for this afternoon so when I go out for a walk this afternoon I'll wear something much skimpier.
Here's the outfit

I've decided, in accordance with my core belief that there should be moderation in all things, including moderation, that I'll have another drink or two in honour of the memory of my time with Lancer. It's not that he drank heavily, just that he enjoyed a Scotch or a brandy and port every day and that what precipitated his calling off our relationship was him falling ill. Well that and him relying on his ex-wife to look after him. At the same time his doctor prohibited alcohol which must have been quite a blow.
So I stopped at the Co-op and bought a two litre bottle of cheap cider for 3.40 GBP. That's less than you pay for one 440 ml can in Norway.
So here's a toast to @Lancer17. No I'm not going to drink it all, probably not more than two or three glasses over the next couple of hours. And yes, I know my reasoning is probably not terribly coherent or clear.
That it was possible for us to meet at all and to go out openly together hand in hand says a lot about how attitudes have changed for the better in our lifetimes. I do hope that the clock never gets turned back.
