Cooler day, still warm, but not overly hot and no rain.
But my walk was a bit distracted by this little guy:
He was abnormally tame, and didn't run off when I approached and seemed happy to look at me and even lay down. One of the residents told me they sometimes fed him. Probably wasn't a good idea since he now sees humans as a food source.
Boy, oh boy, yesterday was a crazy hot day. I went back into the office as they are going to do a deep clean so we needed to make sure all our desks are clear of any personal belongings.
They blocked out every other desk:
And the air conditioning was reduced since there weren't that many people in the office.
The temperature in the office was a toasty 26.8degC
But the temperature outside soared to 36degC, and nearly tipped the 38degC/100degF mark.
As expected, the heat destroyed Network Rail's ability to run a reliable service and services out of King's Cross were delayed or cancelled.
I ended up using the Piccadilly Line to get back home.
On the way, spotted Blackfriars station had a vending machine for alcohold wipes, hand sanitisers and face masks:
The heat in the trains was horrendous. Eventually made it home and decided not to walk, I was sweating enough as it was just taking the train.
Back to today. Temperatures are back to mid-20s so walking is still hot weather, but not as uncomfortable as yesterday.
Today's forecast was 35degC, and it's currently 28degC according to fitbit. A 3km walk has me sweating from the heat. If you're running or cycling out there today, you are much braver than I am.
No walks or runs today, the weather has been pretty miserable and raining most of the day. That being said, I did see some people running even in the pouring rain.....
Warm day with a few heavy downpours of rain. Still managed to get a walk done, and realised this postbox I've been walking past for years, doesn't have the "EIIR" logo on it, but has a "GVIR" logo instead.
Which I _believe_ means it's a box erected during George VI's reign (the EIIR stands for Elizabeth II, Regina (queen), and the GVIR stands for George VI, Rex (king)).
If so, this box was erected between 1936-1952, meaning it's at least 68 years old.
Another nice hot day. Went out to walk, and found all the flying ants had come out and were swarming literally everywhere. I ended up with them landing in my hair and on my neck. Good thing I wasn't running, there'd be a big chance I ended up with some of them in my mouth.
A cool-ish day today, temp at 20degC so did my walk. The pubs were open again, so saw most of them in use. Even the local Wetherspoons was now open.
Barbers were open too. And pretty much all of them were packed except for the smallest one which only had a few customers. The nearest barber to me was only accepting appointments anyway.
Went for a mini-run today. Did my short walk, but decided to walk-run it today and went past the balloons house. Found out the name of the person was "Victoria"
