Not quite so hot, but still got to about 24C - sat around a lot while Ali did some more gardening -- I don't think I'll ever be allowed to use the hedge-trimmer again!
Managed to walk the short and long blocks together - this is about 2/3 mile, so some slight progress to be celebrated.
Start of the Olympics, so we decided to ignore it completely and went out to eat at Cote Brasserie in the Mail Box in Birmingham. We've been a couple of times before and I'm still impressed: a short (very French) menu, heavily influenced by Provence (particularly Nice). Good service, too.
We ate:
Crab & avocado salad
Duck Rillettes
Veal escalope
Duck with cherries & watercress
Crepe with strawberries
Creme Brulee
