Dear Family and Friends, Today was a bit unusual. I walked to the beach as usual, but it was so hot I immediately turned tail and headed home. Late morning we were at The Care Centre in Colchester, where I went 'under the knife'! Only a minor surgery; it was swift and painless. I was out in 15 minutes, and we didn't even have to pay for parking! Good old NHS—don't knock it! Now for a few more pictures just for you!

Dear Family and Friends, It was another very hot day. I wimped out and stayed indoors, although I did do my exercises and a little vacuuming upstairs. PM, we are now on 'The Mentalist' series five. Around 5pm I took the rubbish out, and at the front of the house it was so hot, I found it hard to breathe! Now I have done some excavating 'down there' and think that I have had reasonable success. You will be the judges!
