Record

Record temperatures for October today as we soared into the mid 80s (by the way, why is it always Gravesend that manages to get the highest temperature in the country on really hot days - does someone from the Met Office need to pop round and check their thermometer?).

Jake had Owen round for the day today, so they've been entertaining each other mostly with games of FIFA 12 and pool, plus I took them over to the driving range for a while this afternoon.

Nicky and I have dragged a few boxes of old toys and games out of the loft today and she will be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to see what sells at the local boot fair.

This evening we had a BBQ, making the most of the bonus weather. John came round (as Jen is away) and we had a very pleasant evening sat in the garden.
