Too hot to blog … that’s it.
Apart from Well Done Andy, get well Adele, get real Gove and welcome Wen Jiabao … I was going to say something meaningful about Anglo-Chinese relations … but it really is too hot.
That’s it.

My Latest Book
Living Better
How I Learned To Survive Depression
by
Alastair Campbell
"Superbly readable, supremely useful. Unflinching, clear-eyed, honest, raw and revealing, it may be the most important achievement of Alastair Campbell’s vivid and varied life. This book could save lives." – STEPHEN FRY
LIVING BETTER is Alastair Campbell’s honest, moving and life affirming account of his lifelong struggle with depression. It is an autobiographical, psychological and psychiatric study, which explores his own childhood, family and other relationships, and examines the impact of his professional and political life on himself and those around him. But it also lays bare his relentless quest to understand depression not just through his own life but through different treatments. Every bit as direct and driven, clever and candid as he is, this is a book filled with pain, but also hope - he examines how his successes have been in part because of rather than despite his mental health problems - and love. His partner of forty years, Fiona Millar, writes a moving afterword on how she too has learned to live with his depression.
Depression is the predominant mental health problem worldwide - it is estimated that 1 in 6 people in the past week experienced a common mental health problem and major depression is thought to be the second leading cause of disability worldwide. LIVING BETTER is a call to arms and an extraordinary memoir in one compelling and inspiring narrative. This is a book that really could save lives.
"One can only hope that LIVING BETTER provokes a far wider and more honest understanding of the condition" – JON SNOW
Thanks, but what have I done?
And I thoroughly agree with you Alastair – too hot to comment back sensibly – but I just did.
Typical Campbell. Always blaming the Sun…..
Absolutely. Ooh – Venus out too – Serena also earlier.
Need to water peppers in greenhouse.
Hot indeed.
You are right AC, it is too hot! but this afternoon the temperature here in Devon has dropped back by one degree to 23C which is slightly more comfortable.
Though I guess we have been luckier here in the last day or two as temperatures have been much higher “up country” How a lot of us Brits like to talk about the weather! Ah the sea mist is rolling in down over the hills now, so that will cool things even more thankfully.
Well done Andy Murray, seems you are starting to find your scottish balls in that england fascist event….
I guess there has been a Heat-Health Watch system operating in England and Wales for…. erm one day?
Very droll. Us welsh and scottish have had to put up with your english nonsense for yonks. So ferck off will you!
Think I have wound the english up enough, I think. Martin Carthy, going on about someone from Kent, of all places,

Gasp in needing water, you english, is all I say. : )
I was disappointed with Murray’s histeronics when things weren’t going his way. He seemed like a pre-menstral fourteen year old in his semi-final at times. Balls? He’s lost them again.
Anyway, that is what I think.
