We're into the second half of the year. Where did the time go ? March, April and May seem to have been fused into the span of a long weekend. The worlds richest man seems to have taken to social media again.
According to the Met office it got to 27 degrees here yesterday. Faced with the graduation crowds and the heat a neighbour in town throws open her back garden for an impromptu Pimms party. Retired dons make polite conversation. In the summer warmth simple things can have a sophistication all their own. Today is expected to be much cooler which will be a relief to those stuck in the airless graduation hall.

It was so fun to walk those streets.
