Here comes the sun…..are you prepared?

It’s beautiful here in Worcestershire, sunny 26 degrees with a warm breeze. Have ordered a fan from Amazon in case it’s warm at night.

Just washed my winter padded jackets. They take forever to dry so hoping a couple of hot days will do the trick.
Also dashed to Aldi to buy some sangria and ice lollies.

Its my husbands funeral on Tuesday. I'm not sure what to wear and will the crem be cool.

granma47 💐. Sorry you have this to go to. Wear layers then you can take them off if it's warm

granma47 Thinking of you

I struggle with the heat and we have a big open air event in the village which I'm supposed to be at so hope it isn't too hot for me. I just read an article about people on certain medication being vulnerable in the heat so mentioned it to my DD. She reminded me that she has lived in Dubai! Typical Nanny State over-reacting to a mini heat wave! Having said that I shall be relaxing under my fan if it gets as warm as the forecast!

No, I am not because I doubt very much that the weather will be as good as they say. The past few days haven't exactly followed the forecast.

I hate the smell of barbecues.
I wish other people would keep the smell to themselves!!

Not here, blowing a gale and only brightened up a little!

DH has his birthday tomorrow. Table booked for 8 outside at an Italian restaurant. I just hope that my gums won't be too sore. Dentist was supposed to ring me back but didn't.

Totally prepared, I was a summer baby born on a sweltering hot day, I adore the heat and sun 🌞🌞🌞

DH has spring cleaned the BBQ, jet washed the patios and furniture, spa pool is ready to use, what’s not to love 🤷‍♀️

You sound like a very hardworking lady.

I was born in the midst of winter but I do like the sun. Conversely DH has his birthday tomorrow and hates the heat as does my friend who was born on 17th June.

I've had a melanoma removed, so I won't be going anywhere near the sun in the middle of the day - even then, I'll be smothered in high factor cream.

For me what's worse is one neighbour also has a wood pellet pizza oven and the smoke smell can be awful. I don't mind when I can get the washing in before he lights it, but even then we have to close the doors and windows because otherwise the smell permeates the house. I'd be even happier if he could look, see I've got a line full of laundry and just give me a knock so I can bring it in.

I don't like the smell or the smoky taste either.

granma47 a sad time for you

Will think of you on Tuesday granma47, hope it goes as well as these things can Layers is good advice with something cool for the base layer in case it does get very hot. The last funeral I attended in a crematorium in summer it was rather warm, but maybe some have air conditioning.

I was born in South Africa and spent the first 29 years of my life in Worcester in the Cape. Temperatures regularly over 36°C, or also 46°C! Playing in the heat, cycling, tennis, athletics was not a problem for us.
But then I lived in North Germany for 10 years. Afterwards another 10 years in South Africa, followed by a final move to the north of Germany in 2002. Since then, I have adapted so well to the cool temperatures, I can no longer tolerate the heat. 23 to 25°C is enough for me to break into a dripping sweat, requiring me to wear a sweat band. Hence, tomorrow, I will be out in the allotment garden early in my bermuda shorts and flip flops until about 11am, and thereafter can do the chores indoors, and relax in the cool flat until evening. Importantly, the sensitive veggie plants like tomato, chilli, green pepper, cucumbers and zucchini will spend the afternoon under the umbrella. They will only be planted out into the garden in 2 weeks' time when they have acclimatised well enough.

I have just been out picking elderflowers to make cordial.
😛😛😛😛😛

I can’t count how many women I saw using a parasol today.

What sun? Big black cloud is covering the sun. Now I will have to bring in my garden cushions as it looks like rain 🙄

I dread hot weather. It’s just so uncomfortable. However, I have two electric fans, one for the sitting room and one for the bedroom. If I sit next to them, life is quite bearable.
