Whats happening outside where you are?

Way too hot in West Wales. Our cat is sleeping under the canopy which we erected in July. So quiet - no lawn mowing, no children screaming. Flowers in full bloom and very pretty??

A little bit noisy here on this lovely sunny day.

Visiting grandchildren next door are playing a fun game of who can squeal the loudest, the six year old is winning hands down.

Next door to them the power washer is going full throttle as the conservatory roof gets a good clean. Hope he doesn’t fall off the ladder, it’s looking a bit precarious!!

There’s also the inevitable hum of a distant lawnmower. All quiet at the front however. Happy day.

North of Scotland, Urmstongran.

Landline phone got hit. Looks like the phone's had it, but the line's still working.
Just a bit breezy now.

It’s bloomin’ lashing down here. Okay so it’s 11.30pm but it’s the end of June for goodness sake. A severe weather warning now in place for this part of the North East.

18 degrees here ! Rubbish, I'm freezing and off to bed

Fell asleep on the sofa with the french doors open, woke up decidedly chilly

BBC news have just reported the hottest day of the year so far with temperatures topping 34 degrees , Well not here it wasn’t where we had 20 degrees at the most .

Hot hot hot today in Cambridgeshire. Much cooler now though. All the windows wide open and because we have no neighbours to worry about The Killers are on Glastonbury. Full blast!

Where are you FarNorth?

Lightning and massive thunder!

Thats exactly why my DGD1 (13) became a vegetarian washerwoman .

Oh Washerwoman that’s so sad to read. Would that we could all just enjoy to eat meat after the animals had died a natural death. Never happen I know.

On a lighter note, it’s cooler here now. It was sooo hot at 4pm I was melting. Downstairs (we live on top floor apartment, 2nd floor above commercial - the commercial being a lovely, buzzy bar!) people are enjoying their Saturday night drinking/eating outside with friends and family. Lovely to hear whilst we are up here, in our pj shorts and tops by the patio door, sharing a chilled bottle of Pinot Grigio blush!

As my dad used to say “it’s not bad being poor”.

We heard the cows bellowing yesterday.It went on all day.I must admit I'm not vegan ,nor vegetarian although trying to eat a lot less meat but I did feel very uneasy hearing them.It was only when we moved nearer to farmland that I realised just what a terrible noise they make calling out for their calves.

Oh nana what we do to our animals?

who not wo

It would be the most perfect summer evening here in my corner of Kent if t were not for cows wo have clearly been separated from their calves today, the sound they are making is just heart-breaking

Hot!hot!hot! But now a lovely breeze. So been sat in out of the sun all day now enjoying a balmy evening.

Toddler next door has been enjoying his paddling pool, now all is quiet. Bathed the dog to cool him down as he feels the heat. He’s just come back from an evening stroll.

Clouded over and a strong, very chilly wind. What a change .

The children are playing 'What's the Time Mr Wolf?'

The mum was at playgroup and school with DD2 so I wonder if they played it together?

Sounds like a family get together next door was waiting for the BBQ smells to waft over the fence but that hasnt happened so i think they are just all chatting laughing and having a nice time.

A storm threatening here now too EllanVannin . It’s turned quite chilly and the sky is that milky grey colour . We were hoping to relax with a drink outside but we’ve had to come in . ☹️

It was 34 degrees according to the temp gauge in our car this afternoon.
Nearly passed out twice.
Once when waiting to hand little grandsons over at pool side to their swimming instructor
and t'other in Halfords with our soon to be 6 yr old grandson who was test riding and picking his new bike for his birthday.

I felt so sorry for the staff on the bike section as it was upstairs under a metal roof and the sun beating down through the ceiling windows.

Dread to think what the temperature was.
I just know it was hot ?
The staff were still very helpful and cheery.
Luckly had a cold water thingy.

We cooled off in next door in Iceland buying ice lollies. ???

A storm threatening here, although it's not doing much at the moment but we've had cloud nearly all day and one or two spots of rain earlier that didn't amount to anything. A cool breeze so I've put a light jacket on.

I feel sorry for those who've worked all week and were looking forward to a sunny BBQ weekend

DH and I have had a very productive day cleaning the path and patio. The back garden is looking lovely and clean and tidy. My tree is blowing in the light wind and someone has just lit a BBQ as I can smell it . Might have a lazy takeaway for supper as we’re both shattered .

Just too hot and airless to be outside, even in the shade. GSs painting and watching the women's football inside.....I'm having lots of 40 winkses
