Day 6 of Summer
How long can this weather continue? Yesterday was Day 6 of Summer 2013 and once again we had wall to wall sunshine, light winds and a glorious day. Temperatures topped out at 23.1°C. If only we didn’t have to work and do the normal daily routine!
Here’s some summery garden photos for you. The Wedding Bells rose that we were given as a wedding present has finally started to spread and put on a show – it’s only taken it 9 years to get going! The courgettes are on their way and the garden is looking good.

Mind you, I didn’t get much work done yesterday. After picking strawberries and checking the moth trap it was time for some chores and breakfast. I did do a little bit of work after this, but broadband speeds had once again (as predicted) dropped to less than 0.5Mbps so working on websites was a frustrating task.
I was due to go for a swim and collect Morgan from school, so I decided to head in early and meet Anna for lunch. My car was in the garage so I made the most of the sunshine and rode in to Aberystwyth. It would be quite a nice ride along the coast road if it weren’t for two big hills. The first climb out of Borth is brutal! At least I could have a shower once I got to the uni though and put my bike in Anna’s car whilst we went for lunch in Ta Med.
I then headed off for a swim. 4.3km in total in the pool, not the most exciting of sessions but I stuck with it despite feeling as though I should have been outside. I then headed off in Anna’s car to collect Morgan from school and noticed that one of my tyres on my bike had exploded.
Exploded Tyre
That’s the second of these Michelin Pro 3 tyres to go and I’ve only done a handful of miles on them. I certainly won’t be getting any more of them and I’m just glad I didn’t pay for them in the first place.
After getting Morgan and dropping him off with Anna I had to walk into town to collect my car from the garage. I popped in Cambrian Tyres on the way to get a replacement tyre for my bike, collected my car and then heading off to the gym for a couple of hours – Another couple of hours indoors with the sun shining outside. I really should have spent more time outside today, but sometimes it just isn’t possible. It’s still nice to be having such good weather though
