Friday 21 June 2019 And what is the temperature today?

Each morning I find myself asking about the actual temperature and then the ‘how it feels’ temperature. Fascinating conversation

Jet setters: One from Brisbane. One from Taiwan.

Near the A Team tree. I think they have read the Far-A-way Tree book which tells us that if you stand near the A team tree you will go far faster. or something like that

This swimmer gets notifications from non swimmer friends of the temperature. If you don’s swim you have a skewed idea of how nice it is to swim at this time of year.

These guys never check the temp. They just come on down

Uh-oh the A team have found out about others standing near the A team tree.

WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING

I just started The Shocking History of Phosphorous. shocking indeed. Discovered by alchemists trying to discover the philosophers stone that would enable them to make gold from other materials – here by transforming urine into phosphorus, it has some bad effects.
