It's the longest day today - summer solstics. As I walked in Pontcanna Fields yesterday afternoon I felt the air warming as heat wave conditions slowly moved northwards. Under a clear sky today the temperature increase is more noticeable. I slept fairly well but shoulder pain bothered me. I could have done with more sleep.
We went to the Parish Eucharist at Saint Catherine's after breakfast. Fr Rhys celebrated. He's back in action but limping, not fully recovered from surgery on his foot. After the service, Clare went to the Castle where the 20th 'Tafwyl' Welsh music festival is taking place this weekend. I returned home and cooked veggie pasta dish for my lunch. Clare arrived tired an hour later as there was little or no seating, let alone shelter in the Castle grounds. She had to settle for a pizza picnic sitting on the grass, when she got home she spent the afternoon in her garden lounger under the sun shade. I stayed indoors where it's cooler and read until I dozed off. I walked in Llandaff Fields for an hour, taking advantage of shade under trees wherever possible. It was 26C this afternoon and will rise to 30+ in the days to come.
With nothing better to do, I spent the evening watching episodes of 'Les Invisibles'. It's a French police investigation series about identifying crime victims with complex back stories of key characters and a police corruption scandal undercover investigation woven into it. Crimes get solved but a solution is often delivered at a pace that the build-up and reasoning are not beyond criticism. It may be that the fast thickly accented northern French is hard for me to follow or check against the sub-titles but it's not the only French crimmie in which I've found the procedural outcome questionable. Or maybe I'm tired enough to be losing my attention span, and should be going to bed
