It remains hot and dry. Officially the temperature in the shade reached just over 28C - but when I was driving NYK home at 6.15pm the car was registering an outside temperature of 31C. As our usual summer temperature is around 21-22C we are all feeling the heat; remember our houses do not have air-conditioning - it is seen as an environmentally

Our government decide that it was time to learn to live with it. We now have over 80% of the over 30s double vaccinated (for example D-d and the NYM are now at 2jabs plus 11 days), a further 9% of them have had one and are booked for their second, and 80% of the 18-30s are single jabbed or have had their second jab in the past week - and it is fairly cleat that, although it is spreading very quickly, the vaccination programme has been very successful. We have no restrictions at all. They may introduce some restrictions - they haven't ruled them out completely, but as the schools break up tomorrow it is quite possible that the infection rates in the under 18s will go begin to go down. We wait to see.

The pinker rose is scented, the darker one has almost no scent - but is amazingly profuse!

Big shops and offices are often air conditioned but, for small places and houses, it is so rarely really needed that anyone who does have it mainly has it for pose value and are regarded by the population as a whole as wasteful of resources... But, of course, we really could only do with it for a few weeks most years.

As NYK2 said this afternoon "We island people are not meant to be in this sort of weather." :)

That pelargonium was labelled simply 'Pink' - I'm not sure if it was purely descriptive of colour or named after the pop singer!

NYK2 is correct: we island people are not meant to be in this sort of weather! :D

Fortunately we are expecting more pleasant low 20s for the next week or so, starting tomorrow.
