Morning! Well, that was a scorcher wasn't it? Maybe not in the further north though...Spent most of yesterday gently sweating on the sofa, today will probably be spent sleeping on the sofa since I've been awake all night, but at least it's a lot cooler now, just in time for the sun to come up and rinse and repeat. I phoned the opticians and have an appointment for Thursday to see what's going on. That's about the extent of my activities, although I did water the tomatoes yesterday morning, the water butt is well and truly dry now. And the seagulls at the moment are all waking up for their daily tip exploration, depositing large poos all over my car...

dp1, bet that was scary, it's normal to be a bit rigid when you're faced with with something like that, but you did rally, so kudos. And better prepared if it happens again. Stay hydrated folks!

Good morning folks - thanks for starting us off Taff. I hope you can sleep better tonight. 

The sun did come out here yesterday, much warmer than recent years but not the stifling heatwave which hit other areas. Even Glasgow was much hotter than here. 

After my quick trip into town I did a bit in the garden then had a spell of enjoying sitting around, I was well lathered with SP50. In the olden days 😀 I used to cover myself with Ambre Solaire oil, things have really changed. 

This morning I'm off to Glasgow for a dental appointment, I'll take the opportunity to drop off all the stuff in my car boot to Barnardos. Whilst I'm away the neighbour is coming to pick up the second sofa. 😀 
Right, off to get ready. I had a shower last night before bed so only need topped and tailed. 

I hope that everyone can keep cool and safe. Happy sunny Tuesday to all.

Morning 

Hugs to those that want/need them, those who are poorly and those who are looking after a poorly person x

Happy birthday to those with a birthday x  

Now light, dry underfoot but cloudy. Wash load ready to peg out.

DH and DS1 getting ready for work, I'm showered, dressed and  enjoying my first cuppa and my porridge whilst on here.  DS2 settled and happy. 

Dinner last night was fish, chips/rice/salad.

Keep safe and well x

Morning all

Hot and 24 deg here already this morning, yesterday at work was not nice at all ! it got up to 41 deg about 3 ish  it was so hot and sticky thank goodness we were allowed to take our masks off, today will be the same I think, we were alowed to leave about an hour earlier which was nice, I came home to a cool bath and an even colder beer !

I bit into a bit of garlic bread last night and a big bit of one of my back teeth snapped off  I couldnt find it so assume I ate it ! I need to phone the dentist this morning and see if they can fit me in before my holiday, its very sharp and I keep caching my tongue on it and its very sensitive to hot or cold, I hope they can fit me in ASAP.

Quiche and salad for dinner tonight with some new potatoes, nice easy meal and no need to put the oven on.

Have good days all and stay cool if you can xxx

Morning all; already up to 26 degrees here.

No real plans for today other than keeping as cool as possible, although I am out playing music this evening.

Planned meal changed to salad, which we will probably have at lunchtime and then something to nibble before I go out. Will get changed and pop out for a newspaper quite soon but it's going to be a long day.

Stay cool everyone.

Hi everyone, Taff, I hope you manage to get some sleep today. Ruby and Izzy, that sounds awful, please take care today. I have news. I went with Laura to her scan, she is transferring hospitals do this was her first time there and she was very happy when she saw the place, it seems very spacious and calm. Anyway, the big news is that it is a girl, a sister for Esben so we are thrilled. Esben is going to nursery but we'll pick him up at midday and then we'll go to M and S for lunch in the air conditioning.then something and salad for dinner. Have a good day.

Morning everyone
We kept the children in after 11 yesterday- they were all a bit tired and cross so about 2.30 we went out and sat next to the hedge with our ice lollies...they melted so quickly but they loved them. Then a quick play before they went home. When I got home I was outside until after 8pm...mostly in the shade at the bottom of the garden.
Commiserations for those of you working in hot conditions....Izzy they should give you the day off!
Snoozer - congratulations on your exciting news.
Redruby - oh no - I hope you manage to get an appointment. I had a letter yesterday to say the dentists I've been to for years is closing - we now have only one NHS dentist in the town which of course is full, with a huge waiting list
My niece had to pay £40 for a private check up for her little boy as we was complaining his teeth were sore...luckily they were fine so no treatment to pay for.
Taff - yes it was scary, but in a way I'm pleased it happened as now I know I can sort it...little one kept saying 'well done granny you fixed my tummy!'
Well I'd better move...I put my bedding in to wash and it's spinning now so I'll get it outside soon.
Hope everyone has a good day x

Morning all, DH got up at 5.30 and out by 5.50 to let someone into the house they're working on- apparently his machine is air cooled and won't work in the heat so an early start for us. Pooch refused to budge until 7.30 when we went out for a little walk & I was nearly run over by a woman speeding down the hill and round the bend as I was crossing the road in front of the house.I could hear her before she got to the bend and tried to hurry the dog but she's getting on a bit now & stiff. She screeched to halt just in time. I shouted slow down, and she raised her hand in apology but it's like they all think nothing else is on the road round the corner ....and breathe...

I kept very cool in Al di yesterday and got stocked up. Didn't want to go outside, it was like when you step off a plane in the heat The house was cool though. Last night we had salad with a cold meat platter and I stuffed some large mushrooms with a blue cheese mixture and cooked them in my new toy, they went down very well. We sat outside with the sun brolly up.

My friend rang yesterday, we were meant to be going to RHS Bridgewater today but naturally she didn't fancy the drive down 45 mins to me and prob another half hour in this heat so we'll try again next week when it's meant to cool down.

Snoozer, lovely news about a little girl. Taff hope you sleep tonight.WL enjoy your music. RR & Izzy wafting a breeze for you at work, don't envy you today. Take care all x

Morning all no walk this morning its hot here already car has gone to have the air con fixed so we are housebound not a bad thing i will probably be found in the hot tub today the heat has been off for a couple of days but its still quite warm in there.
Gers i am another one who sits in the shade and uses high factor sun screen since mum had skin cancer a tiny tiny mole on her foot ended up with a skin graft so i dont want to be storing up trouble
Snoozer thats wonderful news congratulations
DP1 hope you are ok after your scare and DGD is ok but well done you for sorting it out 
Salad again for dinner luckily none of us mind it so thats good

Morning all, another hot day ahead it seems, scorchio 😎🌞 I don't envy those who are going to work, everyone must be melting by the end of the day !
Today I have to re-hang the shower curtains as I took them down and washed them, then tackle the cupboards that I didn't get around to yesterday, they're both smallish ones so shouldn't take too long. Later this afternoon I have an appointment with the hairdresser unless it gets cancelled first. Might even break the diet and call in the chippy for our tea as I probably won't get out till late. 
dp1 well done for sorting the little one out after your rabbit in the headlight moment. Think even the best of us would all have frozen initially.
taff hope you sleep better tonight
Snoozer how exciting a baby girl ! 
RedRuby I hope you can get an emergency appointment.
Gers I remember Amber Solaire too ! We must have been frying like chips in "them old days"  😂
Wicked Lady hope it's cooler tonight for you playing your music.
Take care all, I shall send cool hugs to anyone in need.
