Lovley in Pamplona, walked across pyranees Thursday and into Spain now for 5 or 6 weeks on camino, 30 degrees and 15 mile manageable walks, awesome , redundancy is great
It's too hot :(

Gambled on the weather being good for a short break in South Devon, paid off so far, 21c in mid September, had a look at Spanish weather for comparison and was surprised to see only 16c in Madrid and 24c in Barcelona at that time. Looking like 23c beach weather tomorrow. Can't complain for this late in the season.
Well that was short lived and underwhelming. Just like the rest of summer. 
I'm already having to start my VitD supplements which has come as a bit of as shock as I usually have to begin in Nov/Dec. Not a fan of the taste of them either so I don't even have that to look forward to.
Official summer rating 3/10. 1 point for each of the 3 summer periods that lasted no longer than 3 days before returning to cool, grey, wet weather.

Was actually sweating today that was warm. A bit chilly after the sun goes down but hey at least I can sleep comfortably right?
Theres going to be water shortages if this carries on much longer. Forecast is dry, dry, dry as its been for weeks... its a bloody dustbowl out there.
Was glorious here today - sadly I slept through a good bit of it as my alarm failed to go off

No rain in sight all this week for the south again. In fact, after tomorrow its wall to wall sunshine not a cloud to be seen all the way till Sunday.
Come on rainy autumn and cold winter.

Fired up the log burner tonight - Holly and Ronnie (cats) were jumping with joy. They love it.
Raining now - I need quite a bit as I spread lawn weed killer on them today. Lawns that is not the cats as some sarky will reply.

According to my bike computer, it was approx 29C mid afternoon around Upham, certainly warmer than I was expecting.

Walking across Spain? I'm jealous. That's one of the things I want(ed) to do, not sure if I will ever get to it.

It's a time thing more than money as I've been made redundant that's my reason, the alburgies are mostly donation only, or 5 euros, sometimes a pool for that and usually evening meals and breakfast.
Amazing experience tbh, pyranees were awesome and hope to end up on the Spanish West Coast in maybe another 3 weeks

It was cold today
Living room 22.5c
Bed room 18c.
Babies room 21c.
One thing I don't get is people that turn it on in winter.
If you turn it on and set it to say 20c, what did you do the day before when it was 19c, if 19 is warm enough why set it to 20c.
Mine stays on all year round.
