Wednesday 12th August It’s shaping up to be a scorcher today, with the sort of heat that creeps up steadily from mid-morning and doesn’t let up until well into the evening. There’s hardly a cloud in sight and not a drop of rain expected, so it’ll feel properly summery all day. If you’ve been meaning to give the old barbecue a whirl or fancy trying your hand at making homemade lemonade for the neighbours, today’s ideal—just do take it easy in the hottest hours. And perhaps save any heavy lifting in the garden for after sunset, when things should feel a little more forgiving.
