Despite having some long runs of foggy drizzly weather this summer we have also broken some long standing high temperature records.
Yesterday was another of those days, a new high of [Ooops]25c for the day, breaking a 63 year old record.
With the hot weather and no wind it was not the day for berry picking. There was a cooling breeze over near the sports field, where what wind there was came ashore, lot of younger folk at the basket ball and volley ball courts doing their thing.
We fussed around until going down to the airstrip to greet the GD.
Later in the evening we were on a walk down the airstrip way, a chopper from Gander was there re fueling on its way back from picking up a sick crew member off a tanker north of here.
The sky at that time was fantastic, lots of puff ball like clouds to the south west with the setting sun reflecting off the tips of the clouds, very nice, pity I left the camera at home, but then some times life’s joys are better left for the mind.

35c amazing! I'm not doubting you but why does Weather Underground say the top for the 30th was 18c?
It's okay. I just checked ours for yesterday and it says the low was -17.8c. They must put the gauge in a fridge!
I see we have a Doubting Thomas in our midst.
Couple of things Mr. Thomas, one is thanks for the comment as it pointed out a typo, me bad, it should have read 25c, it has been corrected, still bloody hot for our standards.
Two, when doing you fact checking make sure you have the facts, and just the facts. You see while it was the 30th that the post was made it clearly says “yesterday” the record was broken. “yesterday” meaning the 29th.
You will see when you fact check that at 3 PM on the 29th of August 2008 the temperature reached 25c.
Maybe the antibiotics are having side effects, or maybe we are all normal ;-}
I’d check your fridge settings, -17.8 sounds more like the freezer :-]
hahahaha he got you there Mr Dogbait!
