Scorchio!

Global warming has arrived in Jed (and the rest of the UK) with a vengeance. It's been high 20s today which, I admit. is nothing to inhabitants of certain areas of the world, but pretty unusual for here. The local supermarket has obligingly run out of food - well, not quite, but most of their freezers have broken down and the meat displays are empty. Though as Neil pointed out, with two butchers in town why would anyone buy meat at a supermarket?

Tomorrow Lorna is going to Edinburgh for a conference about VAT. For non UK readers that's a sales tax. It's boring. A conference about it will be really boring. She was going to go up to Edinburgh tonight and stay over, but we are almost full so she's going after breakfast.
