Good Morning Tuesday 23rd June 2026

Good morning from a bright Bristol, where it’s already rather warm.
Yesterday wasn’t unbearable until DS took me out. I turn bright pink in the face with white rings round the mouth and eyes: I hate it. We did have about 30 minutes of thunderstorm around 6pm which cleared the air wonderfully; I opened all the doors and windows to the Lee of the light breeze.
DS took me to B&Q for an unsuccessful replacement for the strip at the bottom of my shower screen. We also stopped at a garden centre where I purchased a Hydrangea paniculata rejoicing in the name of “pinky winky”; DS was appalled, I fell about laughing!😆
I’ve nearly finished my trousers; only the hem and elastic waist to put in. I’m going to make a skirt today with another of the fabrics. It is much heavier than it looks, is lovely to sew and barely needs ironing.
I agree with you , karma; there is no point revolting or grumbling if one can’t change a thing. Just keep bug..img on!
Keeps safe and cool, do as little as possible.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🔅🦩🦩🔅🔅

Good morning from s somerset

Another slothful day is ahead for me, I have to get my hair cut first and will be home by 10. My measures did work yesterday and I managed to keep the living room 6 degrees lower than outside and to fulfill my part of the bargain I did nothing, apart from conserve my energy and hydrate myself

The upside is that I found a new contract for my phone, basic sim only, I went for 30GB as I only use a few GB. £16 pm and cheaper than my last contract

This extreme weather makes for a long day but so be it. 32 yesterday, 33 today and thankfully the forecast temperature for wednesday and thursday has dropped by a few degrees to 37, which is much better than 40

Just need to plod along, accept what is thrown at us and adapt as much as possible
