*Two thirds of the way through the year * These are houses in Parsons Close, Haslemere *Today's temperature 16C- a far cry from last August Bank Holiday Monday's record temperatures. I was on Tenby Beach and the sand was scorching to stand on in bare feet https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6263526 *BBC Radio Four, 'The World at One', first headline: TUI launch an investigation after allegations its cabin crew on a flight last week did not enforce Covid-19 guidelines. *Those we have lost in August 2020: 1st, Stan Mellor, racehorse trainer, whom I knew principally because we shared a birthday and I would see his name every year in the paper on that day; 9th, Martin Birch, Heavy Metal producer; 14th, classical guitarist Julian Bream; 18th, Ben "Chariots of Fire" Cross; 26th, Joe Ruby, the genius behind Scooby Doo; 27th, pipe-smoking bowls champion, David Bryant; and 28th, actor Chadwick Boseman, whom I had never heard of but got the most fulsome tributes of any death this month https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2020082996248/hollywood-pays-tribute-to-chadwick-boseman/
