Nothing really. It's too bloody hot to work on cars.  
 
Drove it to Homebase to collect a deck chair. Then sat on aforementioned deck chair in garden and drank icy cold Thatchers Gold

Finally got round to changing rear bulb, only to find out hadn't blown. After messing around, I checked front lights and opposite corners sidelights had gone. So a fuse has blown randomly. Then ran inside, threw up and gave up for the day
