The green between the accommodation blocks is full of sporty looking middle aged women, and one or two men taking breakfast outside. It's already 20 C, expected to reach 26 C later with a little rain between 13:00 and 14:00, but less than a millimetre altogether.

I think they are members of some sports teams, one of the women has just walked past my room with a jacket on that ha Nederland printed on the back. But what kind of sport I have no idea.

I'm without my car again today as it seems that the air conditioner has some kind of leak that they still haven't located. So today will be more walking about in the Beeston and Nottingham Uni. area. There is a craft beer bar not far away so perhaps I'll go there this evening.

Edit: 18:57: Of course I won't be visiting the craft beer shop, I'd forgotten that it is Nottingham Chameleons tonight. Jayne's going to pick me up on her way there.

Jayne has just given me a lift back from Chameleons. And I have a new wig. Rosalind brought it with her to ask if anyone wanted it as she had decided that she didn't like it. I do have a wig already that I bought at Sparkle last year but it is slightly too small and gives me a headache after a fairly short while. So I thought I'd give this one a try. It makes a quite dramatic difference to how I look and everyone there said it looked good so I bought it. Or rather Jayne did because I haven't any cash. I'll pay her back on Monday when we go out together for coffee.

It was only 15.00 GBP so even if I decide that I don't like it after all it's not a great loss. Less than half the price of the one I have and I think it might be slightly higher quality.

But I can't wear it yet because I haven't got a wig cap with me and I#ll need that to hold my own hair up. I shall have to investigate the shops in Nottingham tomorrow to see if I can find one.
