Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest........Don't worry, in two or three weeks we'll be getting drought warnings and hosepipe bans.

Central heating kicked in this morning !!! in July!!!
Son had an away cricket match... one our drive with an early start. Lots of rain yesterday, but they decided to go ahead as they had covers and no overnight rain. Got to the ground, still wet outfield. match reduced to 20 overs. Fielding first. Got the opposition on the ropes for 60/6 off 17 overs. Then it starts raining. Match called off by opposition. On the drive back, it is a Californian sunshine..

In my case, i had a car load of boys complaining that they did a 2 hour round trip to stand in an outfield for 2 hours..

I was a wicketkeeper. I preferred it when we fielded!
But I don't envy your drive back.

Price of apple products...
Looking to replace a 8 year or so iPad.. iPad air in UK £599... same device in US.. $599. Today costco is doing a Indy day discount on that too..
Why would you buy in the UK if the same product is 20% more expensive???

Be thankful you're only there for a holiday.On our Holls in East Devon…. Wish it would stop raining!
I live in East Devon and the rain we've had over the last year or so has been utterly depressing. Seems like the golf course was closed for about 50% of days between November and April. (I'm probably exaggerating, but that's what it felt like)

I’m hoping to squeeze a round in at Axe cliffe over the next couple of weeks but the forecast is not great!
€699 in Spain = £593… from Apple. One of the franchise shops in Almeria has it at €639 = £543.

Have you played there before?
Not one of my favourite courses in the area!

WRT Axecliff:
Played there once at the beginning of this year. Only because it stays dry underfoot when everywhere else is sodden. I doubt I’ll ever go back. Just too many blind shots for me. There are some much better courses down that way.

At the moment it’s warm sunshine one minute then soon after there’s a downpour…then back to sunshine…then showers…how’s a chap to decide whether or not to go for a few holes…

Yes a few times as @srixon 1 says it can be confusing but I’ve played it enough to find my way around, the place is friendly and easy to get onto and it drains well.
I did consider your place, we are staying in Stockland but I’m not sure if it is any of the above?

Honiton is certainly friendly and surprisingly level. Generally has very good greens. Also seems to drain a bit better than other clay based courses in the area. (But we still had a shocking winter).
Best draining course in the general area is Dawlish - a proper links. But at this time of year you don't need to worry about drainage.

Anyone with experience cooking with an AGA?
There is one in our holiday rental, I watched a few videos and looked at the Mary Berry book, thought I knew what I was doing…..Sunday lunch was supposed to be at 6.
Still waiting
Obviously not a real irritation… we have snacks.

You’re irritated that the majority worked together to keep the far right out of power? Wow.
It reaffirmed my faith in people.
