Hot Again

 Seriously, this summer can do one.

I'm never a huge fan of hot weather and, right now, I've never wanted a chill wind and downpour more.

Yesterday the temperature in the flat was definitely a tiny bit cooler so it was 4pm before we desperately needed to escape.

We'd arranged to meet friends in a taproom as they'd only ever been to one (Martha's) and they like the vibe.

Difficult to tell which ones will be busy so we made a bid for Newtown Park/LHG area and were happy with our choices.

We arrived first and there were the usual exchanges with staff about the temperature.  Still, once you've sat somewhere that's not-too-hot for a few minutes after you've stopped walking, it doesn't take too long to recover, especially if you've got a beer in your hand.

It was lovely to catch up with our pals and share our love of a taproom.

We got home really quite late and, once again, bread and cheese were dinner.

I'd bought a couple of insulated bottle and filled them with chilled water to drink overnight.  It definitely helped.  Today I picked up a new fan and although the walk to the locker was warm, having the extra fan is a bonus.

Probably Martha's later, I think.

...and another prayer for a thunderstorm.
