It still goes on - the hot weather that is. When I got in the car this afternoon the outside temperature gauge was reading 32C but after a couple of miles it had dropped to 28C. That's still in the eighties Fahrenheit and it's come on us so sudden that we're just not used to it. Even the players at a local cricket match didn't hang about in the sun too long and had gone in for their tea at 92 for 9 after 24 overs. The batsmen had obviously thought it was too warm to stay at the crease for long.
Although it's a cricket ground now, when I was in my prime and playing football, this was our home pitch and the weather was often like this for the first match of the season but that was September, not May. And talking of football, I watched the Championship play off on TV yesterday and thought it was a much better match for the spectator than the FA Cup Final. Let's hope the upcoming World Cup matches are just as good.
