So…..what are we all up to on this beautiful sunny bank holiday? ☀️

me And hubby motorbiking to the Devon coast to get fit for our trip to Corsica in September, didn't count on 30deg Ime 69, so everything is a bonus now

Like you bohemian keeping out of sun, beinga redhead & a health condition which means no sun. Loving the blue bright skies.

Travelling home early from our caravan because I'm not feeling well so I can see my doctor tomorrow morning

Tidying up my son's garden. Spent more time telling him what to do that actually doing anything myself in this heat.

very warm at 8 am, my son had already cut and strimmed the lawn for me yesterday. laid some bark but I couldn't finish it, after a couple of painkillers,OH and I sat out under the umbrella and had lunch. it's great to see the sun ..

Lovely weekend, bbq with old friends on Sunday. My friend who hosted pushed the boat out as usual, cooking lots of delicious and unusual recipes she wanted to try. She’s a keen cook. I felt guilty because I had been about to invite everyone to us but she beat me to it and I felt relieved. My guilt was assuaged by all the other women expressing similar sentiments. On Monday we had DS2 and his partner together with the Ukrainian family we hosted 4 years ago and are still in regular contact with. It is marvellous to see them doing well, the boy is now at university and on a year exchange to Japan! Mum is a teacher but working as a teaching assistant here which she finds frustrating. The girl is year 10, has won loads of awards at school and is taking some GCSE’s early. She was 11 when she came and now towers over me- she calls us her UK grandparents. I wonder what the future will hold for them, their home town where the father and grandmother still live was hit by a drone attack last week. The mum often says that she wouldn’t have believed it if someone had told her 5 years ago that she’d be living in the north of England.

It was 34 in the shade here today (East Midlands) so did very little this afternoon having potted on some plants this morning. Did do some prep for taking up holiday trousers I bought online - tacked up the hems ready to get the sewing machine out later in the week. Granddog has arrived as we are taking our turn to have her as her family are on holiday. She is not keen on eating the food in her bowl - she is just too hot I think. She was lying about in the garden and didn’t even stir when a cat wandered through.

I live in a hot flat! Not nice in extreme heat. My thyroid doesn't cope with it either. Trying not to put a dampener on it but survival is blinds and windows completely closed. I hate it as I feel like I'm in darkness when I'm at home. Soo really looking forward to later in the week as temperature drops.

Well done Twice as nice! Speedy recovery.x

Thank you,*GrannyGravy13*😊

I have been on gardening watering duty for son who is away on holiday. What I had hoped would be a single visit has become a daily necessity because of the heat and quite a few newly-planted things in his garden!
But he does a lot for us too, so I really can't complain. ☺

Digging out rampant bkuebells, scarifying a 30' strip of lawn then forking it to try aerating it. Also sanding down wooden garden furniture before applying preservation. Cutting the back lawn. Knitting a twiddle muff for hospital transport. Should have the weekend filled.

I love our Karcher, pavers clean ☑️

At a local beach with two GC, hot but a nice breeze - glorious 🌞🏖️
