Not so hot in York.

Overcast again today, but warm - planning to go to the coast for a spot of sunbathing.
If the "sea fret" remains we will settle for tourism closer to home.
York has been a hive of activity over the weekend - Acomb had a festival on Saturday with poetry, drama, music & freebies going on everywhere.
We got no further, then back to tea with Jamie & baby Lily.
Yesterday we had an unsuccessful visit to McArthur Glen in search of wedding outfits - not a lot to see but millions of cars!
AJ had a tennis match, so dropped me in York to go to Evensong at the Minster - brilliant - even more music than usual as it was the "Reading Out of Choristers".
This is the last service for the year 8 choristers - three anthems, starting with Zadoc the priest, everything sung, apart from the readings & sermon.

York had a cycle race of mammoth proportions which slowed progress considerably.
There were barriers everywhere, people warming on up on stationary bike frames & TV pantechnicons, the main challenge was to find the gaps in the barriers to get to the Minster.
I walked home afterwards, which was great, took an hour & I'm sure did me good.

Presently there is an electrician in the kitchen, when he departs, so will we.

Why on earth are schools closing due to the heat?
Surely the kids will be just as hot at home - get real & prepare for the life of work.
Some work done is better than teaching them that you give up at the first sign of discomfort.
