It's pretty dense here now so it'll take some shifting. Had an hour sunbathing in the garden before though. Winning!

it's muggy as fuck here like a tropical country. I reckon we are in for a thunder storm in the valley

Been running around in the garden all morning.

 

I am reaching hitherto unparalleled levels of sweaty bollocks.

 

Olympic standard stuff

I remember Monday 1st July 1968.

My usual route home from Uni was disrupted. I had a friend who was organising a 10 club trophy meeting for the official opening of his local track (Harrow), but he was competing for GB in Switzerland that weekend, so he did all the preparatory work and asked me to look after the on-the-day issues, staying at his parents' house Friday and Saturday evenings. There was a Tube strike, and no trains from Harrow on the Sunday, so I wrote and posted the "Athletics Weekly" report and stayed over another night.

There were 3 viable Underground lines but 2 were not operating at all and the third was only running one in three of the normal trains.

It was the hottest day in London since the war - maybe even of the century, and I had a heavy suitcase and a heavy briefcase to carry. The only way I could carry my anorak was to wear it on this vastly overcrowded Tube train! I survived somehow.

It's the UK, you never know what going to happen

I like to think of Malcolm as ALWAYS having an Anorak handy.

It was end of term, end of year. Everything had to go.

For all I knew when I set out it might have been raining on the Saturday and I could have needed it.

(ZiggySmartarse on the button, as ever)

Melcolm is a SPY

.....and a broadsheet newspaper with 2 eyeholes cut out

And provisions for a cup of tea if things really go to shit

I had Malcolm down as more of a Mac and trilby type.

It really really needs to rain before I go to bed.

 

Sweating like fook here!
