The sun was shining again.
But what a day for sport! Murray did himself proud in the Wimbledon final, and we caught up with the British GP highlights after eating our tea in the summer house.
A's last weekend before Keswick completely takes over his life, so we've enjoyed the slower pace while we could.

An unexpectedly sunny day
...perfect for exploring the local scarecrow festival with our friends.
Followed by:
- a hearty bowl of soup at the village Methodist chapel
- an overdue haircut ready for next week's festivities
- mooching around the shops in Cockermouth
- successful shopping in Workington: fascinator, birthday present, gift box
- catching up on the F1 qualifying at Silverstone (it was very wet!)
I'm a teeny bit sunburnt after being outdoors for most of the day (a convertible car may not have helped ;o) ) but not so it'll be a problem. Hopefully I'll just look healthy in Friday's photos.

Experimenting and a little exercise
1. More fun with my bass today: I was playing at church this morning, then spent a little while with YouTube this afternoon learning a couple of well-known riffs (Come Together & Peaches). I think I've found a good website for tutorials so now it's just a case of putting in the practice... the first test is whether I remember anything tomorrow.
2. It's still very hot (at least 25C) so I felt very warm after going for a walk around the village. I enjoyed seeing the flowers by the roadside, hearing the children playing in the beck, and smelling the barbecues.
3. Yesterday's chicken, pepper and tomato sauce tasted even better after a day in the fridge. A yummy experiment where I threw in whatever spices I felt like (cumin, coriander, fenugreek, chilli, ginger, oregano - I think!)

Sunshine, sunset and special cards
1. I didn't get away quite so promptly today, but it was before 10 past, so not too bad. And the sun had cleared away the cold mist.
2. The deep red sun above the horizon as I drove home from housegroup caught my attention.
3. Two handmade birthday cards for Andrew from our godsons. One even had a (labelled) picture of Andrew and D in a car, and a drawing inside of A with a big smile.
