Yes we sweltered in the heat over the weekend.  It is not as hot as I know some countries are but what does it for us is the humidity.  I was doing okay on Friday evening until I got up to tidy up, load the dishwasher etc, by the time I had finished I was wet through with sweat!  I had the fan in our room going full pelt and Coco and I very much appreciated it!

DH and The Boys had a wonderful day on Saturday at Goodwood Festival of Speed and actually it was cooler there than here.  Here are some pictures of the day.

The sun was up bright and early as well as The Boys.

The Grandstands did offer some respite from the sun, whilst they were watching the start of the Hill Climb.

The Boys went to the Goodwood Shop first to have a look at what they had in and found a rather special Visitor there.

The Duke of Richmond owner of Goodwood House where The Festival of Speed happens along with many other events. Above he is with Eldest and Below with DH and Youngest.

He very kindly signed several things for them.

They then had a walk round to look at all the cars who would be taking part in the Hill Climb and the displays.

Richard Hammond, of Top Gear & The Grand Tour fame, was also there with the little car he drove in the Top Gear episode in Botswana which was an Opal Kadett and was called “Oliver”.

All three of them had a great day and they got to see and do everything they wanted to do.

Us Girls got together in the afternoon with Little Man and had a great Indian Takeaway for dinner which was really tasty!  

Honey was hot but found the bend in the stairs to be the coolest place and was fast asleep.

This was our garden before we went out in the hot sunshine.

Sunday we did not get up early and had a lazy morning and The Boys got back around 2.00pm so it was a great weekend for us all. 

Yesterday was a sort out day as well as work and I also did my ironing  because it was so much cooler than the weekend.  Today it has been raining most of the day and a lot cooler, in fact I have a thin jumper on because although it is still warm it is 10° cooler than the weekend.  Our plumber has been to repair our downstairs toilet and the tap on my kitchen sink, there is always something!

Today has been all work and then tomorrow I am with Eldest at his work and then Thursday will be home jobs.  Friday I am having my hair cut before we go away and I have some jobs to do before the weekend when Saturday and Sunday we are at the pool for our Club’s swimming Championships.  Normally we do not host these events until October or November but have had to move them because of some County events which are now then. There is also going to be a Club BBQ on Saturday night but I am going to come home, as I will be shattered and we have to do it all again on the Sunday!  In between I have some jobs to get done too!  Quilting has taken a back seat this week.  

I hope you have a wonderful week. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
