Tomorrow early we head off to Durham to cool off from this intense heat, walk by the river in the leafy shade.
Next port of call is to Glasgow to attend Calum and Yvonne's wedding in Eaglesham - as luck would have it we were also invited to see Evangelia and Orestis wed in Aghios Dimitrios - will technology ever allow us to be in two places at once ??
We have an arrangement to meet Anne in her new house in Inverness and we'd love to also meet up with Nessie, the resident monster.... if at all possible.
Then down to visit Susan in Mull and take in the local mussel festival, and hoping to meet Fiona for the first time too! A breezy crossing from Oban on a Callie MacBrayne's ferry certainly seems appealing in current temps of 33oc.
And then another wedding - this time Jen and Mark tie the knot in Harrogate at what will be a real music-fest.
May the sun shine on these three young couples and may they enjoy a long and happy life together.
The cases are packed.
This one is most apt : tartan design to match our destination, brand name , 'Apollo' .
H has this week taken the momentous step of deciding to retire so we are really and truly .........
ready for lift-off. Bye for now :)
