I do like to be beside the seaside ...

One of the benefits of living not too far from the sea.  Today after shopping had been put away, and several wash loads done, it was nice to be able to escape to the beach for a couple of hours later in the afternoon to catch up on sun bathing.  Not something we could do when we lived in London.  Too hot to go after lunch (it registered 38° locally earlier today), but by 4.00 p.m. it had "dropped" to 31°C.  Bearable :)
