The plan was to go to Groombridge today.
Yesterday here it was 32 and we had maritime Ipswich .
Then I nipped to friends new flat and fell asleep on his La Z boy!

I took the 400 out in the heat and he gets very very hot.
So given that the sparkly one is broke in Norfolk .
It's so so hot here the little beast is tucked away.
Even in my draggins and Knox light I was boiling!

In a car I had to have the window open right down like a dog head out and arm out ( I don't like being in cages)
At home all the windows are open but no air.
I feel better with the wind in my hair so ended up putting a fan on full blast and lay head of end of the bed with a fan full blast in my hair.
Nothing as good as a blast but with a stinker of a headache no riding for me!

You need to move up North. It's not that hot here and it is raining!

Would have been good to see you, I hope the headache has cleared, just got back from Groombridge I left early to get back watch the Moto2. It was a good day with some interesting bikes to dream of owning and some other good news that I'll leave for others to break.

I went out yesterday early before the roads became too busy and that was OK even in full leathers but by 09:30 I was cooking and the sunny Saturday drivers were out so I headed for home. I just can't take the heat, I suffered less riding up to Cadwell in a torrential downpour a couple of months ago, that I can handle just not the heat, still the tyres stick to the road well in the heat which I suppose is the silver lining.

Heard it was not fun earlier at Dartford tunnel?

Glad had a good time :)
I hate hot weather .
I never have liked it.
I spent too much time out in it yesterday.
I feel like I have drunk a cellar dry today lol!

So need a storm here it's mental well over 30
I'd have probably fainted and never got home !

I wish I could stand in the sea at the moment :)

Blah blah
