Took a photo of a fine CuNi which the radar suggested might be somewhere over Sudbury. Working at home, I miss my top floor lunchtime cloudscapes.

Lovely clear sky and cloud colours today. I wish I could have been in a happier mood to enjoy it.

To the town Sainsburys again, as the days of queuing outside are obviously over. For now. Also to M&S, but only for organic veg. Back in April I'd be spending £35 in there.

Early in the afternoon weeded and swept back yard, picked up the first lot of fallen apples. Sun was unexpectedly hot while doing this.

I hear the Glasgow housing market is wild at the moment, people having to offer over the odds. Hopefully that's just a post-shutdown reaction.

Weird thing - 86° F in the bedroom now, and it feels deliciously cool after multiple nights of 92° F. And yet I used to think - in this house - that 84° F was an outrageous bedroom temperature.

Went early to Tesco after a surprisingly good night's sleep, cold-pack assisted, 8.30pm-5am. It was very hot coming back even at 8.30.

Felt a lot better than yesterday - I now know I'm going to move as soon as the plague subsides.

Also made progress with two work issues. I always feel worse when I think I'm not making progress.

EXTREMELY HOT

While up the garden watering the remaining potato plants about 6.15, had a twinge of regret about the idea of leaving. Now the tree has grown, the top of the garden is like a separate room, you can hardly see the houses.
OTOH sitting in the garden is annoying after a short while, with heat and glare and insects.

I suppose I'm a buffet person really, I like short bursts of a lot of different pleasures.

Very hot last night, had to deploy a cold-water-bottle (ice pack). Used my old grey scarf as the wrapper, very good insulator.

Very hot walk to the shops and back this morning.

Still very hot. Slept badly as a result, only about 4h. But insomnia is much better now I have so many bedroom audio options. I can listen to the World Service as of old, or the Al-jazeera audio stream, or WNYC, or some of the comedy and drama on the laptop.

Crossing the recreation ground on the way to the shops, I was struck by the heat, it was like walking across a parched savannah.

Now people are getting noticeably careless re infection, I have a strange nostalgia for the bright, cold, callous early days in April when everyone was taking it very seriously and I was consumed by Survivors.
Everyone being careless now is like the retcons later in Survivors where the plague propagation period is greatly extended, and people are seen not to have behaved creditably.

Parents came up. Had our usual walk round the park. Then something new, they gave me a lift to Tesco. I wore a face cover and we kept the windows open, and in any case we could be considered to be in a support bubble. I think that's the closest I've been to other people since mid-March.

Reading the Money Observer I bought yesterday, I gathered it was the last ever issue. Weirdly they didn't say why they were ceasing publication. I'm pleased in a way, because they printed a lot of anti-Corbyn stuff, but displeased because it's been part of my monthly cycle for some years now.

Alternatives: Moneyweek, which is frothingly right-wing, Moneywise, which is written for simpletons, and the Investors' Chronicle which is fairly right-wing and quite boring.
