Another very hot day today. I braved the heat and went into town to buy some shorts to combat the extreme temperatures. Town was hell – busy, hot and sticky. I tried my very best to go in and out as soon as possible.

After my stressful shopping trip I decided to treat myself to a nice lunch so popped into the new “Sainsbury’s Local” store, for anybody who lives in Bath, it is where MVC used to be.

It’s quite strange inside. They haven’t modified the building work at all. I found myself looking down aisles of milk, yoghurts and cheese, where just the other month there were CDs and DVDs.

According to some old people I know, aged 30+ (yes, that is old) MVC used to be a nightclub. I don’t remember that. Maybe my friend Mr. White, who likes a drink, went there while in junior school.

There was a massive storm this afternoon. Very little rain but lots of thunder and lightning, it felt like the sky was about to fall in. At one point there was a massive crack of thunder and flash of lightning which set all the surrounding car alarms off, quite scary really! I can rest assured though that all my expensive PC & HiFi equipment is kept safe with anti-surge plugs.

Really we could do with another storm tonight as the air is extremely muggy – not nice. Still, at least I am off work for the rest of the week. There’s nothing worse than sitting in a hot office, in front of a computer with the sun blazing in on you through a window.

Finally, well done to Italy. I have more or less lost all interest in The World Cup now that England are out but I did watch the game they played against Germany. A very exciting match, I hope the Italians go all the way and win the tournament. Mainly due to the fact they make such delicious food and have a beautiful country. When I win the lottery I would like to buy a villa there.
