Hi both. 
Very sunny and warm today. My van was saying 31 degrees at one point when it was sitting in the sun, but mostly it was 23 degrees.
A bit more of a breeze this afternoon, so not bad for work.
Got a couple of big jobs done, strimming and grass cutting.
Hasn't been too hot overnight here yet, as it's been down to single figures in the evenings, but as the hot weather continues the house will heat up.
Found a Briggs & Stratton parts place online where I could buy a new air filter cover for just under £10, but I'll wait till I've looked at all the places it could have come off first, before I buy a new one.
Hicky. Glad you have eventually made a satisfactory cake (in your OH's opinion). 
Don't know how you could go all the way to 5pm without food? You must have been desperate for the lamb dinner when you eventually got it.
That's a pity that you couldn't repair the gardener's hedge cutter. 
Is that the Bosch one you linked to previously?
Not surprised you needed sun lotion today. I smothered myself in factor 50. 
Yes, they are big on tipping in the US.
Mollie. Glad you enjoyed your seafront walk and Ice Cream.
I've never had even a hint of a tan on my legs in all my life. I get a bit tanned on my arms, but never on my legs. Mind you, I only wear shorts in the evenings, so it's not surprising.
I've never been one for sunbathing, but even when I deliberately sat in the sun for a hour wearing shorts one Sunday a couple of years ago (all the time I could stand before dying of boredom) the legs never even got slightly pink.
