Good morning, all.
After a very unpleasant and sticky night, it feels quite nice at the moment.  I have doors and windows open and fans pulling the fresher air from outside into the house.  That will need to stop soon but, right now, it is refreshing. 
I usually enjoy a really hot bath in the morning but today a lukewarm one felt so good!  

It wasn't great going into school yesterday afternoon.  A number of children were being picked up by their adults and it will be the same today - the school isn't closing though.

The meetings were good although I felt for the staff concerned - talking to a governor was probably the last thing they wanted to do.  Good news on the phonics front and then a longer talk with the SENDCo.
When I got home I wrote up the phonics report and sent it off.  Later this morning I will write the SEND one and then my duty is done.

And my TiVo box overheated and there was a warning on the telly screen.  That's never happened before!   Hopefully no damage has been done but I ordered a new one a few days ago anyway - Virgin said I had to - so that's OK.

I've already done the minimal housework I intended to do apart from a bit of ironing which I will do after I've posted this.  
Chris is over for our Thursday coffee iced water and chat.  The fan is blowing in the garden room, hopefully keeping it comfortable.
Then I was supposed to drive over to Val's for lunch but we have rescheduled it for a fortnight.  I'm fortunate to have this flexibility.

After all my moaning and groaning, some good news.

One of the lost dahlias in the back garden has found itself.  There were five but one is better than none and I have the one I planted this year too so that's nice.  The confused dahlia at the front is growing rapidly now.  No buds yet but It can't be that long.

And the lone pear is still there, still growing.

I'd better stop waffling and deal with that ironing and then I can put the basket and iron away.  Clutter make a room feel hotter, doesn't it?

Take care, stay sun-safe and have a comfortable day, everyone.  xx
