A good night's sleep as it was comfortably warm. The house interior is cooler than outdoors where it's 30C today. I spent the morning reflecting about the place we call home home in an email exchange with Sara.
Sir Keir Starmer announced his resignation as Prime Minister in an honourable dignified way. He accepts his leadership no longer has support from his colleagues and promises to support Andy Burnham who is returning to Westminster as heir apparent having won huge popular support at the ballot box with mass media attention spotlighting him for weeks past. He's capable and has been effective as Mayor of Manchester, but it remains to be seen how he will fare juggling roles as a leader on the international stage and crisis managing the government. Boris Johnson was a media darling too and the last election was lost under his leadership.
Clare cooked a veggie pasta dish for lunch and after we'd eaten I went to Jason's green-grocery to stock up on veg supplies. Then I went out for a mid afternoon walk under my brolly in a drizzle of light rain which cooled the air initially but drove up the humidity. The hour I was out in Llandaff Fields was accompanied by distant rumbles of thunder from the south west. Bristol and Somerset have been hit by heavy storms and flash floods. Who knows what will happen in South East Wales on top of the extreme heat expected?
