Heat Wave!!

Britain has been basking in sunshine and temperatures close to 80 degrees F.  Yesterday, today, tomorrow and possibly into Saturday.  Jackets, umbrellas, scarves: OUT!  Spaghetti straps, sandals: IN! (Unfortunately I have neither of the latter but it's okay since there is little humidity and our apartment does not directly face the sun).  Students are returning for the start of the fall term so there are even more young people around.

People are queuing up for a try at punting.

So many punts on the Cam a collision is sure to occur.

The weather is so warm the porters have shed their jackets--but not their bowlers!

"No lad, this is Trinity College, not Trinity Hall."

We assume these young lovelies are definitely members of Trinity College 

and not disobeying the rules.

Too bad we will probably not experience all this very unusually dry, warm weather.  We're headed north for the weekend so we will pack our raincoats.  Three days of no rain in Scotland is too much to hope for.
