Summer Daze....

Time to just relax & enjoy the post Christmas winding down & think about the potential the year ahead brings.
Some days are ripe for going out & exploring around the city


Others for observing things closer to home


At yet others for just staying indoors & trying to keep cool, when it's been that hot during the day that at 7.30pm you find this a perfect temperature for it to have cooled down to....

Deserted Park

My favorite area of green is right across the street. Often that area of green is my sanity! Just seeing it as I walk down the drive reminds me that I'm not really trapped, feeling surrounded by high fences, other houses & decidedly dodgy neighbours!
The freedom is just 'over there', should I need to escape the feeling of being enclosed for a few minutes.

Today the park is deserted. Completely.


No Kiddies in the playground.....


No bigger kids playing ball games in the middle area...


No one sitting in the shade....or in my favorite seat that causes me to daydream of a laptop!

Why? Because it is yet another scorcher - I suspect the highest temperature we have had so far this summer.
Yesterday it reached 32.6°(about 90°) & at 9.00pm last night it had finally dropped to around 29°. One of those nights when just a sheet will suffice - & you pray for no emergencies in the middle of the night ;o)

According to "wunderground" the temperature here in St Albans is currently 34.6° (a little over 94°)....it's 32° in the lounge. Thank goodness for very little humidity & a fan!

I think the beach might warrant a trip a bit later!!
