Starting to think about Winter, on the year's hottest September day.

Just cleaned out my and my wife's Pollen Filters. They were dirty!

• Tyres fine.
• Antifreeze fine.
• Battery new.
• Hi Viz in the boot.

Anything else?

Soon be Winter again...

I think that unseasonable mild week in April was our lot as far as summer was concerned 😉

Maybe not in Manchester but in the southeast we had the third highest temperature in the UK on record at the end of July, the hottest day in August for 17 years, at least a week where the max temperature was above 30 deg C, 5 nights in a row where the temp didn't fall below 20 deg C at night, two weeks without any rainfall etc.

We are having a short break near Glastonbury and the change in temperature to Kent is very noticeable! Much cooler and the first decent sleep for quite a few nights.

More on a Lexus theme, my RX300 drove beautifully and was a pleasure to be in even when stuck in traffic. Four occupants, a Labrador, large roof boot and she averaged 25 mpg. I know some people may blanch at that but it was worth every penny for such a wonderful comfortable drive.

I cleaned all - or all that I could find - drain holes this week.

I never knew there were so many!
