Today’s weather inspired me to use The Jam’s song from 1979. My goodness it is sweltering today.

I tried to do some work on some story preparation for another recording up in my work room -I gave up! This next recording I am aiming to do in the garden so I get bird song in the background, of course I might get other noises as well! It is my Harriet the Hippopotamus story so although there won’t be jungle sounds it might enhance it! Sadly with the latest news it might be even longer before I can do any story telling inside to an audience.

I did go for a ride early this morning to try and avoid it -didn’t really work but it was lovely cycling up to Minchinhampton from Nailsworth through the woods. I was of course in need of a shower and vast quantities of iced water when I got home!
