The hottest day this year yet. Incredibly hot in fact with the temperature recorded at Wembley in the afternoon as 41.5 degrees Celsius - that would be 107 degrees F. That is even hotter than the Bahamas at this time of year. Tom and I went into Salisbury in the morning to collect the booze and other drinks from the Cash and Carry for Sara's party. We loaded the car up with lager, cider, white, red and rose wine (all Californian - I hope Sara's father won't mind crossing the Atlantic to drink USA wine!) and some sparkling wine. We also bought apple and orange fruit juices and a large bottle of undiluted squash for the small ones. Even if it is as hot as today nobody should go thirsty on the day. We also went into Salisbury city centre where I did some banking, had a look around the market and stopped off at Reeves for a coffee and pasty - Tom had a cold drink and sausage roll. Returning home via Homebase I bought a telescopic tree lopping tool to deal with some tall branches attacking the telegraph pole on our boundary and to enable me to trim the "weeping pear tree" in our front. What an excellent and fun tool - quite addictive to use and I was delighted with the result on the weeping pear. I also mowed all three lawns too. I watched the FA Cup final whilst drinking chilled beers. Everton scored after only 20 seconds (the quickest goal in the history of the FA Cup Final) but were outclassed by Chelsea who equalised later in the first half and scorded the winning goal halfway through the second half. Everton also now hold the record for the team that has lost the most FA Cup Finals! This evening Tom has a sleep-over at his friends James's with several other lads. They are all sleeping in a giant tee pee on his friend's large back lawn. Tonight also saw the Final of Britain's Got Talent which was won by a unique choreographic street group called "Diversity" pushing Susan Boyle into second place. Sara and I ended the evening watching an excellent film about Hitler's rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. We drank some home made cocktails using some of the flavoured rums I brought back from Nassau mixed with fruit juices. An excellent drink for such a hot day. We both feel so very tired tonight.

FA Cup Final Day - Everton "Fail Again"
