What a scorcher it has been today! The weather looks set fair for a while. It is bad luck on young people going back to school that we get the good weather now. Talking of schools I am glad I am not a Headteacher dealing with the current concrete difficulties. I once had to deal with an asbestos scare which was traumatic enough!!!

Off to the cricket final tomorrow- do I bat if we win the toss? Might be one of those days when I would be happy to lose it!

The rest of this week I am cycling with friends in the Gower and then we have a Book Club Weekend following in the footsteps of Dylan Thomas.
