Yes I do. I can’t bear to be inside when it’s hot.
I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪3 -
We had a nice breeze today and I went to an outdoor Tai Chi class, held under a shady tree! Bliss.
It’s a pity that more things don’t come with childproof locks…….

Have a lovely day SA - my office is already at 26 degrees C so I rather wish I had the option of a shady corner outside as well!

Enjoying my day off in the sun. Very hot here mid 30s 🔥 Had a bit of time in my hanging chair and also my sunbed but it got too hot down that end of the garden so have moved to by the pond which is the closest I’ll get to a pool 🤣
Managed to give the kitchen a good clean earlier as DD was working.
Took the dog on the park early doors. Did a massive litter pick. Why can’t people use litter bins there are plenty of them 😡Exercise has been yoga and dog walking first thing, a walk to/from the local high street for fish, bird and squirrel food. Plus two books for £1 from the charity shop 😬 Did some hula hooping in the garden while listening to a WW workshop at lunchtime. It’s also live Zumba at 6pm.
Tonight’s dinner will be salmon with steamed vegetables and rice.
Mr M delivery arrived first thing. Succumbed to a few flash sales items including a 10kg bag of potatoes for £4 even though I said I didn’t need to buy any more big bags of potatoes as we don’t use that many 🙄I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪6 -
Too hot here 😎

Gorgeous pics. My only contribution to heatwave pics would be my laying on the sofa in my undies like a beached whale and no-one needs to see that 😂

Me too, it’s the only way to keep fairly cool….except my neighbour keeps knocking on the door with some strange queries, whereupon I have to jump up and put clothes on……not anymore though! Established she has a fan, etc. but would like a conversation about how hot it is……May open the door in my undies next time, that should do the trick!
