Despite not getting to sleep until about 3:00 this morning I still managed to wake up at 9:00 and got up almost immediately, with no hangover. Good start, eh? It was already really sunny and warm and was destined to be the hottest day of the year. I got a few things sorted around the flat and then went to Superdrug to get some sun spray and aftershave, and then into Peacocks for some cheap summer clothes.
I timed my trip to the gym to coincie with the England match because I really didn't want to watch it. The gym was virtually empty, I guess unsurprisingly. Nick wasn't there, frustratingly, as I haven't had a reply about when and where we are going out for drinks yet. It is making me paranoid. I need an answer soon.
Frustratingly, Mauro seemed a bit nonchalant with his replies to my messages today too. I'm just not as popular as I would like to be obviously. Maybe he just wanted me for my gorgeous arse.
I also spent a half-hour out in the blazing sun after the gym, I couldn't manage any more.
I have just got a really touching text from Alexis, one of my best friends in Torquay saying:
"Baking hot day. Nice lunch in the garden at the pub in Maidencombe. Walked through Shaldon, a drink at Babacombe and then on to the Kents. The only thing missing was you"
It was just what I needed, and brought a tear to my eye too.
It was followed by a text telling me to "move home to Torquay!"
I do miss being there, especially on days like today, but I can't afford to move and I think I would miss London too much, unless I had someone to move down there with. I think I could live anywhere with the right guy.
I've got one more day off before I have to go back to work for four days. Once again I have nothing planned for it except, surprise surprise, going to the gym.

Just how "hot" is the warmest day of the year in London? We always think of it as chilly and overcast.
It's not massivly impressive really, 30.9 Celsius (87.6 Fahrenheit), but we are just not used to the heat over here. As you suggest we get it so infrequently. Apparently it was hotter than the Bahamas though.
I've been making the most of the sunny days that we have had this year, spending an hour in the sun a day when I can, and for the first year in ages, I have a tan again! Some sunbed sessions before the sun came out probably helped too!
