Hot or what?

The Gorse Fox must report that today is, officially, hot. Even here, near the coast, the temperature has hovered between 33 and 34C for most of the day. It's been lovely, not that the Gorse Fox is one to sit in the sun. He does, however, love the heat. 

We have a BBQ planned for tomorrow as it's the closest we can get to the Urban-cub's birthday where Cousteau-cub and the Coventry Hobbit can join us. The Gorse Fox needed to check the BBQ (known in the house as Metal Mickey), but that got a clean bill of health and is all set for tomorrow. Then he had to hit Sainsbury's - sausages, chicken, pork steaks, bacon, beef burgers, rolls, and some drinks were required. He had to queue to enter for the first time in many weeks. It wasn't too busy inside though, which was nice.

During the afternoon the Silver Vixen has been working on her sewing machine and Urban-cub has been helping Cousteau-cub dye her hair. Now finished, it looks very nice and is certainly a lot brighter and blonder than it was.
