Finally - some sun!!! My solar-power battery charger now charges in less than four days now!!!

(According the the makers of my solar powered battery charger, on a good sunny day, it can charge up four AA size batteries in about 8 hours... but this lovely weather means I am never without batteries and I'm LOVING IT!!

)
It was 25C in the middle of Manchester yesterday... today and for the rest of the week, it's not going to be any different - except on Friday when light showers have been forcast..
I'm not a sun lover and prefer the cool shade instead and plenty of drinks (non-alcoholic) and eat little and often (cos it's just too hot to cook...)
It's officially sandals weather... but it's also puffy hands and feet weather - which means if I need to do anything, I'll do it in the morning when I'm more able to do something..

Because by evening, my grip has gone to pieces and walking anywhere can be problematic....
I've also put ice into the water station in the garden here for the wildlife and they're absolutely loving it
