Good Morning Everyone,
Light and a dry start here in Brackley this morning.
Due to the weather I have decided not make any bus journeys thanks to weather, while its sweltering I will stay at home ,
Mind you in the 70`s I worked in Oman in similar tempretures but it was in the desert and different .
health OK ,
Take Care,
Mick

Your GD is amazing Gagagran many congratulations to her.

I hope the Endocrinologist can sort your DH out Marydoll at least some progress is being made.

Have been out to the poly tunnel i picked another courgette they hide 🫣.

Oh grandMattie I so wish for a ‘like’ button - those trousers are glorious!

Good morning from South Lanarkshire, just enough heat to feel summery here DG. That’s an excellent idea to escape to your seaside home Gingster, I hope the sea breezes help.

Great trousers grandMattie, I really envy all of you with sewing/crafting skills.

That’s great that your GP has put his finger on the problem Marydoll, hopefully things will ease for you both soon

You have every right to be proud of your girl Gagagran, a real achievement, well done to her.

I had a lovely lunch meet up yesterday with some friends who all started our teaching careers 63 years ago this summer. I think the song is ‘We’re still Standing’😊, although hobbling might be more accurate!

Enjoy your day Aggie and best wishes to everyone.

Good morning from West Sussex. I know it is probably cooler here than inland but it’s pretty hot! You’re very wise to stay at home Mick.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad and I managed to do a bit of gentle gardening in the shade. I went to the allotment in the evening and watered the baby lettuce that DH planted earlier in the week. I then went to Sainsbury’s where it was deliciously cool and also quiet as the football was on. When I came out at 9.55pm the heat hit me - it reminded me of the year we were in Sweden and there was a heatwave and we spent most of one day in IKEA 😂.

RosesandLilac, that sounds like more hopeful news but still a long wait.

Marydoll 💐

DH has brought the coffee in so I will just wish the best possible day to all and hope a cool breeze finds you!

Good morning everyone from the west midlands. Very warm here & stuck in kitchen cooking rice & chicken for husband & dog! A labour of love for sure this weather, phew!

Me too, MD, I was impressed that the patterns matched! Completely serendipitous

Just about Good morning from Stockport where it is already 32 degrees.
I am staying in the front rooms of the house which is west facing but my bedroom is also at the front which means it is unbearable by.
evening.
Two fans on last night and I hardly slept.
My friend has invited me to sit in her garden this afternoon in the shade of trees, I have said I will try one hour but will leave if I can’t cope.
I hope very sincerely you are all able to cope with it, just a few more days I think.
