We’re getting used to this heatwave now. It’s once again 28.1\u00baC out there at the moment and it doesn’t even feel that hot now as we’ve seen temperatures up above 30\u00baC every day for the last week. Before that it was up into the mid to high 20’s for a while and we haven’t seen a drop of rain since June 20th. Mind you, when I say it like that it doesn’t seem that long, 12 days without rain, it feels much longer than that. I guess anything longer than a day or two without rain in Wales is slightly unusual. There’s not much let up in sight either with the forecast looking warm (mid 20’s) and dry for at least another week. I’m loving it!!<\/p>\n
OK, the grass is brown, the water butts are running dry and we’re using bath water to keep the plants alive but there’s just so much fun to be had on the beach. The sea is lovely, the days are long and hot and the evenings gorgeous. So much so that we kind of lose track of what was post-work fun on weekdays and the weekend itself.<\/p>\n
We got plenty done this weekend though despite (or because of) the heatwave.\u00a0I’m sure Morgan and I must have gone snorkelling after work on Friday<\/a> as we were exploring the crystal clear water of the reefs everyday last week. I then headed off for a Cyclocross bike ride exploring some new trails\u00a0in the hills not far from here, followed by a quick run in the blazing sun and 30\u00baC heat.<\/p>\n
