It's dead hot here.

Following hot on the heals of carrots, we now have courgettes!  Well, some of them are distinctly more marrow-like in proportions.  Loads more of these coming too.  To think I used to hate eating these things...

Update:  I've just realised it is a harvest of ten courgettes so, given my close relationship with the BBC, I've submitted the picture for the weekly Ten Things article.  I bet they don't choose it.

It's my birthday today - 2 July, the central day of the year.  I didn't feel too old but then I read this article which I found quite amusing.  The invention of the Walkman wasn't that long ago, surely?

Best quote of the article is:

It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the
tape. That was not the only naive mistake that I made; I mistook the
metal/normal switch on the Walkman for a genre-specific equaliser, but later I discovered that it was in fact used to switch between two
different types of cassette.

Haha - genre-specific metal/normal switch.
