Good morning from my air conditioned hotel room in Sussex lulling me into a false sense of coolness. I believe it's going to be even hotter today if that's at all possible. Husband is playing golf whilst I'm off to have lunch with one of my old school friends who I've known forever, our an annual catch up goes on for hours but I look forward to then because we always pick up where we left off.

Good morning all x

Morning all.

North Leicestershire has a lot of cloud this morning. Still hot though and I'm looking forward to the downpour.

I'm doing a Sainsbury's shop this morning and this afternoon the sister in law of a gn friend is coming for a cup of tea and a look round our house. She was at school here and I'm hoping that she can tell me what it was like before it was converted!

The East Mids meet up was fun - thank you to everyone for making the effort!

Good morning. N. Bucks is still dry and warm.
Yesterday in London was very hot even in the theatre which had air conditioning.
Quieter day today, DGS is going out with DD2 ( his auntie ).
Out for annual dinner with my sewing group this evening.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Hot hot hot again, with rain forecast later, as Maple says. I have a haircut on the agenda today, and a pile of pre-packing ironing to do. Have a happy day, one and all.

Morning all, slightly cooler here this morning. Yesterday seemed to be all hospital, and was I glad to be home. Nothing much planned for today after my Vit B12 injection, maybe out for coffee and try and find new homes for our old sofas. New ones coming next week. smile

Good morning to you all..........and yes I won`t spoil the scene....already the sun shining here on the Welsh coast.

We are grateful that we do not appear to have those higher temperatures some of you are coping with admirably let me say.

Another one really enjoying the routes and scenery of The Tour de France.

A hairdressing day ahead,well I have to keep up appearances and it is usually a trip that has me having a good old gossip!

Sincerely hoping today does not prove too uncomfortable for any one of you......and it turns out even rather pleasureable.

Good morning from a hot, sunny Colchester. Out to supermarket early then home to sit out the 30plus heat in a darkened room.
So looking forward to the promised thunderstorms and return to normal British summer!

Mapleleaf Thu 26-Jul-18 07:59:39

P.S. just looked at the BBC local weather forecast and it looks as if those storms are going to start this evening as well as tomorrow.

Mapleleaf Thu 26-Jul-18 07:57:10

Good morning, Mick and all.
Well, it was a little more comfortable for sleeping last night, but I still woke early and couldn’t get back to sleep so came down for a cup of tea and a browse through my emails, then onto here.
It looks as if we are in for another hot day here in South Yorkshire, but are promised thunder storms for tomorrow. We’ll just have to wait and see, I suppose, but the grass is desperate for a soaking. It amazes me, though, how the weeds still manage to pop up!
Not a lot planned for today other than odd jobs about the house and garden.
I hope you all have a good day and manage to keep cool in this heat. ?

Morning Mick, Morning All. Cloud over our corner of Somerset. Sky looks heavy, apparently we may get a shower today. Need a foray into the loft so that’s first job before it gets hot up there then a food shop. Not much else today. Stay cool if you can.

gillybob Thu 26-Jul-18 07:49:35

Good morning Mick and everyone to follow. Look like another warm day on the NE coast today. A warm but cloudy start with the sun just peeping through. Still no rain here despite weather forecasts.

Off to work. Roll on Friday tea time.

Have a good Thursday everyone. x

Gagagran Thu 26-Jul-18 07:44:37

Morning everyone! Scorchio again here on the south coast.

Please can we have a good thunderstorm with a good shower or two? Everywhere is so dry and dusty. I even had to use the garden hose on DH when he came back dripping with sweat from his bike club ride yesterday. He stripped off and enjoyed being watered!

Nothing planned now after our usual shopping trip earlier - there for 6.30and it was blissfully quiet and cool. Stocked up on Magnums which were on offer!

Have a good day folks.

Gma29 Thu 26-Jul-18 07:43:26

Morning everyone. Looks like being another warm (!) day here too. It was lovely to meet up with some other Grans yesterday, a nice lunch and so nice to put faces to the names on gransnet.

aggie Thu 26-Jul-18 07:42:23

Morning all , off to visit my children and grandchildren in Edinburgh for a few days . Assistance booked at the airport , DD 1 is coming too now that there is no one to be looked after at home looks like we will see some rain there

NannyJan53 Thu 26-Jul-18 07:42:14

Good Morning all

Another hot day here in The Black Country.

I am going to visit my cousin today in Telford, take Mum and have a lunch together with cousin and her Mum (Mum's younger sister)

I had lunch out yesterday at the East Mids meet (which was lovely meet everyone who was there and put faces to names) and a lunch with friends Tuesday! Bit like buses, none for a while then 3 turn up at once smile

We have Kardean in our hall entrance and dining area Nfk and it certainly looks and wears much better than the carpet we had as that area has a lot of wear too.

Wishing you all a lovely day,

Yiayia4 Thu 26-Jul-18 07:32:17

Morning all another very hot day is forecast here,could reach 35c!! Visiting a friend later for coffee.Hope the East Midlands meet up went well.Have a nice day everyone.

Brunette10 Thu 26-Jul-18 07:30:01

Morning all,, what a glorious day here in NE Fife, it's just lovely. I'm sure biscuits were greatly appreciated by builders Marydoll, keep baking! Had lovely day yesterday with DGS off to Edinburgh for a wee trip around the shops . Have a great day everyone.

Morning All

A touch fresher in Norfolk this morning. Still sunny though and the air is warming up fast. There were a few really dark clouds forming yesterday afternoon but once again, they evaporated.

Off into the big city this morning (Norwich!) to visit John Lewis and look at flooring options to replace the worn carpet in our dining room. It’s also the way from the front of the house to the kitchen so gets a lot of wear. I’m thinking Karndean but it looks rather pricey.

Marydoll Thu 26-Jul-18 07:08:04

Nankate, the biscuits were a bit of a disappointment, not much flavour, however it didn't stop the builders demolishing them. On the other hand, the other biscuits, with a splodge of jam in the centre were much nicer, in fact I will need to bake again!
The men say they love this job, as they are never offered even as much as a drink of water on some of their projects.

MawBroon Thu 26-Jul-18 07:06:56

Good morning everybody, warm and sticky here in N Bucks and quite a few clouds, but no drop in temperature yet.
You can almost feel the storms coming!
Have a pleasant day, all!

NanKate Thu 26-Jul-18 07:02:00

Morning Mary how were the marmalade biscuits ?

Marydoll Thu 26-Jul-18 06:59:39

Morning,NanKate ! ?

ninathenana Thu 26-Jul-18 06:59:27

Morning everyone.

Kent is forecast heavy rain in places today. Can we have some please. It's sunny and it was a very warm night.
No plans for the day, we're just going to relax after finishing the decorating.
Enjoy your days.

NanKate Thu 26-Jul-18 06:54:58

I love what your DH said Mary?

Do tell us tomorrow who won the battle of the suites.
