Hot, hot, hot again, hence the threes. Passed an ice cream van near home so parked outside the garage to walk back and get one. A double Mr. Whippy cone with a flake - four quid !!
That's eighty shillings in old money, if my dad wasn't already dead, that fact alone would have killed him.

It was bloody good though.

So very, very hot again.

There has long been a debate about the opening of the fire exit door, one school of thought was that it would cool the room and another that it would warm it as it would always be warmer outside than in.

Today it was tested, and I am pleased to announce that it doesn't make a scrap of difference to the temperature but does allow the entry of the occasional winged beastie.

Thank you. I'm not sure it's true though. On the one hand I am a shadow of my former self, on the other I am still going and getting on with it (such as it is). My own opinion varies between the two but I realistically believe that I am a shadow rather than anything positive.

Hope you're keeping well.

You can only be a shadow of your former self if you were able to cast enough of a shadow in the first place. And to me, that’s a very positive thing.

To be honest I guessed what the answer was after the second, and then realized that there was at least one other option, as the third factfinder would sort that for me and eliminate the need to search for other options I went with that instead and it played a blinder.

For the record - it was the second option and not the initial guess so maybe not as smart as I thought :-)
