A great new soft-serve ice-cream place in Gloucester, called Igloo; the soft-serve is really creamy and you can add one or more of perhaps 20 flavors, which run around the outside of the ice-cream … and there’s a really cool penguin mural too!
Perfect in the super hot Summer we’re having this year 
We have had a few pretty warm days recently – a hot Summer really – and right now at almost 10 at night, it’s still 84 degrees outside (and a but warmer too indoors); days like this, we’d be better off in Florida where the house is air-conditioned! Or maybe going back to work …
What is crazy is to look at the England temperatures – highs only in the 50s a couple days next week, in Newcastle (and not much higher in London); overnight 80s might be a little too high, but it’s better than cold days in Summertime …

I uploaded all the photos in to a Gallery – just a random collection of pictures taken in Gloucester and Essex as I drove to work, and then back home again (including the garden and Chloe) … check them out if you’re interested. Or scroll down:

When the temperature reaches the 90s and you’re wearing a thick fur coat, all you can do is stretch out and wait for it to be cooler …
