I was worried that a heavy thunderstorm in the ealy hours might ruin my dry June. However, although there were a couple of brief sharp bursts, and a few spots now, only 1.0mm fell. It looks far heavier to the east, but how much is actually reaching the ground (Len?)

Minimum of 17.2C last night. It was warmer @ 21:00 (21.5) than it was mid afternoon, when it briefly dipped to around 20C in a classic sea breeze onset, it didn't last.

(OT - you have been warned!) but now the fact that food unnecessarily wrapped in plastic also requires the use of a considerable amount of CO2 is general knowledge, I found this comment in the Cove Diary (the Old Boathouse stores, Sennen) amusing

"The young maid began to list items from her little shopping notebook and after each item I told her which shelf or which fridge that item was in. They seemed almost disappointed that we had every item that they listed. Perhaps next time I will point them at the denuded shelves of Tesmorburys and their carbon dioxide fuelled lettuce."

Somehow I survive living on food which is left open on the shelves to decay.. As for plastic wrapped ice cubes! May I suggest making your own ice in a freezer, in a re-usable container. Controversial, but it may just work! Glass reusable milk bottles even, why haven't these things been thought of before?
