On the minus side, I just had to update an address, which ended up involving installing an app which PLAYED MUSIC at me in the play store before even installing it. When did that become a thing?? Needless to say, it did not go down well with the SO.

Son's 14th birthday, still need to grab a card. He got caught out doing something exceptionally stupid yesterday (teenager shit), and not sure if it's a chat to have with him on his birthday or to wait. Obviously the longer it's left the less impact it will have. But Karting tomorrow with him, hopefully that goes well. Trying something called 'Combat Karts' this time, whatever that is. Hopefully it justifies it's rediculous price premium.

In other news, starting to get seriously miffed with this fucking weather. Have only been able to get out for a run once in the last 2 weeks between family stuff. So when I do have the chance it's either raining or I'm otherwise exhausted. Not to mention that I've not been able to get out on the bike for nearly a month now for the same reasons. It's fucking July for fucking fuck. Out of all the seasons summer is the only one that I can deal with at the best of times.

I'm not looking for the European death rays, just less cold, drab, grey rain. The rest of the world is burning to a crisp and we're soaking. Fuck, we've even literally sprung a leak around the window fitting as a result of the last torrential rain storm.

It's been pretty nice weather where we are (general Teesside-ish area). Fair bit of rain but plenty of sun in between, been a nice balance of not dying of heatstroke but also still being able to wear shorts for the daily walk.

Sounds like wherever you are has it much worse, fingers crossed it clears up a bit for you. There's nowt worse than feeling trapped in the house when you need to be out and doing things.

South Tyneside, just up the road! It's not that we haven't had any nice weather in July, but the few spots we've had have either been exactly when I'm not able to enjoy it.

Hope you've made the most of today then! Been lovely down here 😄

I wasn't able to get out for a run/ride, but I did see it as a chance to take the Spitfire to pick up my son. And today was pretty good as well, Combat Karts was great fun.
