Barbecue summers and budgets

Just a quick blog, has anyone not noticed how hot it is? It seems to be getting hotter every day.  The papers and weather forecasters are keeping stumm, no mention of barbecue summers, or flaming June etc etc. Last time we had weather like this it started on the day of our daughter's wedding, when the chocolate petit fours melted in the heat on the terrace, at the reception. It lasted for quite a few weeks and we wilted in Yorkshire, where they hadn't had rain for 6 weeks. Husband dislikes the heat and covers up. I used to sunbathe when younger, but can't cope with it so much now.Daughter is wilting as she has about 9 weeks to go and is looking forward to giving up work for a while.
The next big news, or yawn of the week, is of course the budget. Having looked at it,  I can see that once again we will be worse off, but that happened a lot under Labour, so is nothing new. At least they are reducing some of the benefit bill, which has practically bankrupted the country. It means our daughter will not get the Child trust fund, but she is not too worried about  that.
We are trying to avoid the football  at all costs, it seems crazy that with just one goal England can get through to the last 16, but who cares anyway. Too hot to think of much else to say, and in need of water, so will sign off.
