The Weather.

Wow! Isn't there some kind of an anomally? My former husband came to UK several years ago in summer, and the wheather was mild...

It can get quite hot here sometimes but it often ends in thunder storms. I hate hot weather.:mad::p
 
It's been rainy most of the weekend, and much cooler than usual. I haven't had the AC on all weekend. Nice for my electric bill, haha. I'd like to take a walk, but it's still raining. The weather people claim it's supposed to stop soon.
 
It's meant to be really hot here tonight. I read that if you open the loft hatch in your house the hot air will rise up so I might try that. If it doesn't work I will be sleeping downstairs on our uncomfortable sofa.

At least Andy Murray is playing at Wimbledon today.
 
I've just been doing my lunch walk. It's proper summer - finally! Last night wasn't as hot as we feared, although F's room got quite hot to begin with.

I can't say I noticed it was any cooler with the hatch open.:D It is meant to be up to 35 in Central London today, going on the underground must be a nightmare.
 
intend to dive into our 'almost big enough for an adult if they are desperate and cannot afford a real pool ' :woo::woo:

Count yourself lucky. I was so desperate to cool down that I cleaned out the plastic box I use for recycling and filled it with cold water and put my feet in there.:rofl:

Nobody ever tells us to go home because of the heatwave!! :rolleyes:o_O

I have just got back from town as I had to see the doctor and it was sweltering.
 
It's hot and humid today, and we are expecting some thunderstorms later. I hope all of you in the U.K. get some relief soon!

I saw a clip of a man who filled a green wheelie bin with water and then climbed in it!!!

My 'pool' comes with rules..my son has a two towel policy for entry.

Basically he has spread my best towels across the grass and mud and created a foot wash system which he monitors carefully. :argh:

It is hard to relax as he is also on bug alert so any unfortunate flies, wasps, spiders or tawny owls that happen to fall in are quickly scooped in a net and put back on terra firma to recover.

That boy really does need to get another job asap!!!!! :yes::yes:
 
Last night it was so hot (32 deg in F's room) I was just sitting around in my underwear ...! Probably a frightening sight to most people, but also a rare and unusual one, as I tend to be cold and wear more clothes than the average person.

Today I'm wearing shorts, but it's not terribly warm now any more, and cloudy.

No one ever tells us usually either!!!

Normally we have to sit it out whatever the weather . New manager .. maybe trying to win over the troops!:D
 
Last night was so unbearably hot and I couldn't sleep. I was going to go downstairs to watch the women's football but I think it would have just irritated me more.:rolleyes:

There's an idea, but we keep our green bin out the front on the street. :p
