30 Complaint-Free Days 

Day 24

Woohoo! I managed 11,000 steps today. That is the most I have done since I was in Falmouth last Wednesday. It isn't as many as I would like but it shows what I will have to do to get 15,000 to 20,000 steps when I am not on holiday.

I had a great walk along the beach this afternoon where there was almost no breeze - how often does that happen in this country? It was lovely to have the roof of the car down too, I love to feel the breeze in my hair. 

In the evening I went for another walk and I didn't need a cardi. I can't remember that last time I was able to walk in the evening in this country without needing a top to keep warm. Awesome.

This type of heat happens so rarely that it would be churlish to complain. There are ways to cool down, even if it means staying indoors. I remember summer days when my children were small. We used to fill up the paddling pool and while they played in it I just sat on a chair beside it, dangling my feet in to stay cool. Happy days.

I also chatted to both my children this evening which is always a blessing. So a great day.
