The weather is breaking

After the amazingly hot weather of the past few days, it's beginning to break. The pressure is dropping, and we had a lot of cloud around this morning. This afternoon, the sun has returned and it's quite warm again, but with a lot of wind, presumably the foretaste of this ex-hurricane that's due to torment Scotland and North West England tomorrow. It's due to be calmer but cooler here.

We've had a quietish day; the main excitement was Sheila having her first dentist appointment, to get her plate repaired. A tooth has broken off the small plate she has; it's gone back to the lab for repair, and won't be back until Wednesday afternoon. That's a bit of a drag, as we were planning to entertain Eileen and Bill to lunch at the George and Dragon that day. Hopefully, we've managed to put them off until Thursday.

Apart from that, we took a walk along the towpath to the river section. There are very few boats around now, the weekend rush having all returned to their marinas, I guess.

We'll aim to have a few non-alcoholic nights, after the weekend's excesses. Tomorrow, if the weather is dry as forecast, we might well take a walk to the National Memorial Arboretum.
