Thanks folks,

And Jayanand, a chilly - compared to the rest of the world - 28c, but 
today it was down to 19c when I dived in. Still lovely in the water, and 
I'm going to persist with my daily sea swim for as long as I can. I have 
managed year round daily sea swimming in the past, but last year, sundry 
agues and plagues laid me low.

On heat, my son rang me from the airport in Paris, en route back to 
Dublin from Cuba, and said it was 41c - a full 12 degrees hotter than 
Havana!! Normally it wouldn't matter, but his Cuban return flight had 
been delayed, and he missed his Dublin connection. His wife and himself 
were going have to cook in the current French oven for some hours until 
he gets his replacement flight back.
