hottest day at Wimbledon ever & firewood cutting done early to avoid the heat

The Express covers how hot it was yesterday, Wimbledon recorded its hottest ever day at 96.3F, isnt it strange how "we" go back to F from C when recording "how hot it is" - - - bigger number more impact i suppose, for the C minded that was 35.72c. - - - 
=======================================================
It was a hot one though and with plenty of warning it was an early start to the logging area 
the sun was just reaching the area of the tree to be sawn up, the idea is to lop off all the ends with the leaves then saw it up in situ 
a hot and sweaty 3 hours later its all complete 
a lamb comes to inspect my handy work, today's job is to throw all the bits onto the pile a little way up the track anything thicker than forearm size gets split before it joins the pile 
 a couple of Great Tits get on the bird feeder early to beat the heat 
Mrs Blackbird also appears 
not long after Mr Squirrel joins in 
Mrs Blackbird is also in on the act.  We we forecast a thunderstorm yesterday and watched one pass close by complete with thunder and lightening, all we got was a handful of drops from the big black clouds 
 19c 66F already 
the weathercam shows a heavily cloud laden sky but no sign of rain on the radar of any rain.  The forecast is for 24c and an increasing chance of rain after 15:00

Enjoy the day
