Summery summary

The same customers who last week were complaining about the lack of Summer weather are now the ones moaning about it being too hot. It should be company policy to have a gun behind the counter that I am allowed to use on these people. 

To be fair, though, I have spent all day gagging for exercise but then telling myself “It’s too hot for cycling.“ Then I remember that it’s hotter over in France at the moment and the Tour de France continues apace and I tell myself to shut up. I can’t really moan about a ‘hot’ bike ride in the beautiful, flat Suffolk countryside when the likes of Chris Froome are doing 110 kilometres in 10 degrees more heat, most of it up a mountain, and most of it with 50 other riders trying to beat him and countless French spectators trying to get in his way all the time. (Has anyone nicknamed him ‘Froome the Zoom’ yet? If not, then a) they should do, and b) they should give me credit for it as I’m pretty sure I‘m the first person anywhere to suggest it….)

Too hot to cycle, but not too hot to surf. I’m off to the beach for a late-evening dip in the sea.
