Diary Tuesday 22nd May 2018

photo taken by me - my 2018 diary
Preston, England
May 22, 2018 2:04pm CST
The heatwave has been nice so far but it was so hot today that it feels uncomfortable, sweaty, tiring, and over-powering. I got to the community centre for the first time in over a week as I missed attending last week due to the useless job-training course I was sent on. I got some of the great cheap food on offer from local supermarkets, including lots of cakes and yoghurts. One of my friends kindly gave me a lift home. A final surprise came from the newspaper that used some of my photos in syndicated articles without my permission. They have agreed to a generous payment to me for the use of the images which I should receive in a few weeks time, hopefully in time for my weekend away in Canterbury in late June. Arthur Chappell

A newspaper should know better than that, but glad they will now pay you very generously.

I have seen the map of Europe, the North of the UK and Ireland have a heat wave, the rest of Europe is cold with rain. I am glad that you are receiving a good payment for your photos.

Brilliant news about the settlement - and probably a bit quicker than you were expecting.

Yeah. It's been quite warm here too. Hoping it cools down a bit over the weekend...or sooner...got grass cutting to do and it's a bear when it's so hot outside. As for the pictures, good catch. Nice to get money you didn't plan on.

It was really hot yesterday, but it has cooled down today as it has rained. Hope you get pay by the time you go on your vacation.

It didn't seem so hot here, thankfully. I'm indoors all say though, so I never really know what's going on weather-wise until I leave at 4.30!

@Poppylicious I often don't know for sure how the day will go until i'm out and the weather can change here from sunny to cold and wet within hours
