Good morning all
What a glorious sunny day , it started out this way yesterday and late afternoon it went all grey , so much so I thought someone had lit a fire .
Hoping today stays sunny .
Im keeping out the heat as been advised by Medics though.I shall get someone to pick my repeat up .
Hope those ill among us and in pain can rest .

I shall make sure the Birds have plenty to drink , they were in and out batheing and drinking yesterday , and i manage to snap a Goldfinch, If you look hard enough you can just make it out .
Have a wonderful day

Good afternoon everybody.

I’m still feeling washed out but slightly better. Today I have put some washing in the machine & when it’s done I will peg it out.
That will be my achievement for today.

Ady had taken Tony for a ride out so he will be having a nice day. It’s been awful for him really living me feeling so poorly. He hasn’t known what to do with himself. However I must fight harder to recover - I’ve got my hot air balloon flight on Monday. Don’t want to miss that!!

Have a good day all…

Get well soon, Carol.

I am resting after my walk to the retail park. Just two of us, and we stopped in Morrisons for a drink before our stroll home. Glad I did it and may try again on my own. Plenty of people using the track, I was just a little concerned about safety. Saved a fortune on car expenses. With petrol at these prices?? I can also get a bus to Tesco, or into town, but for Asda or Aldi I do need the car.

Morning folks.

Sitting by the bedroom window, with my cuppa. The sun is behind hazy clouds right now so not too hot on me. Seagulls are making a racket.

Not sure what I will get up to. I have a library visit planned, lots of books to return, but that can be done any day. I should, I suppose, rest after yesterday’s marathon walk to the retail park.

I might get the dog out before it gets too warm. For the past couple of days she has foregone her lunchtime walk for nearer 4, or 5pm.

Good morning everybody.

I only had 2 hours sleep last night so suspect I will be resting a lot today.

Have a good day all…

Good morning all ,
My windows are flung open wide to let the earley morning fresh air in , Im not looking forward to the 30c this afternoon ,I have plenty of fans to put on , but I find them noisy.

I gave the Garden and Pots a good soak last night a couple of Cosmos were drooping , they look fine this morning .

I have a food delivery this morning and Ive treated myself to Magnums ,knowing it was going to be a scorcher of a day .
I shall have to restrict myself to one a day , but you know how it is when you find something moorish.

Well have a wonderful day and keep drinking the water and stay in the shade .

Good morning all, going to be warm here too they say, but a thoroughly wet day tomorrow apparently, which the garden will be thankful for.

No plans other than staying in the cool and eating ice cream… :sunglasses:

Enjoy the day everyone :blush:

Got the dog out quite early, now in my garden, having breakfast al fresco. However, the man has turned up next door (prior to getting kids off to school and nursery), so now some chatting going on. I will finish my coffee then check on the clothes wash. Should be ready to hang out soon.

Good morning all.
Also quite warm already but with a hazy sun.
Did my early walk with Minnie.
Knee still giving me grief, but I am trying to out think it.
I am not going to do much today if I can help it.
Off to my daughter this evening for dinner.
Look what I captured this morning. I had to go back to get my camera.

What a lovely family photo ,thanks for sharing , its brighten up my day and brought back memories of the same many years ago .

Lovely photo, Emjay. They may have been a nuisance in London, but I miss them. Seen one just up the road here.

What a wonderful photo, Emjay! :+1:

Morning all.

If Holly doesn’t need the garden this morning (tum upset), I would like to get to the library today. I will watch her for the next hour or so. If it settles, then I can go,

Good morning all and what a difference in Temps , noticably cooler . And here I am wearing shorts , should have worn these yesterday , but decided on a skirt .May have to change later if its no warmer .

So yesterday I tried to keep to just one Magnum , but when I opened the box , I couldn’t believe how they have shrunk to half the size .
Well I was very naughty and had one from each box , but as the size was smaller , I told myself I was really only having one .

Ive no plans for today , and rain is forcast so Im going to continue on with sorting through Photos , and Birthday Cards which date back 20+ years ,

Some things I can let go of and others go back in the loft .

Hope everyone survived yesterdays Heat .
Have a wonderful day

@Jazzi hope Holly tummy trouble is back to normal

Good morning all.
It don’t seem to be cooler here. Still perspiring quite freely.
Rather later than usual. Only doing one laundry wash.
Been out with Minnie and also took my camera. Nothing seen today that was worth taking a recording of.
My knee is extra painful today, so that means rain is on its way.
Well that what the saying was of old.

Good afternoon everybody.

Lovely picture Emjay.

I’m still feeling a bit washed out following my gastric illness last week & sorry for myself for missing my holiday at Weymouth. Nothin much seems to be going right for me at the mo.

Today my ambition is to get out of bed & go to our nearby town to order a new tumble dryer.
While there we’ll have a walk through the woods.

That’s it for the day. The rest of the time I will be resting. I have never felt so debilitated.
My Metatone tonic arrived yesterday. lets hope it peps me up a bit.

Have a good day all …

good morning all,
and i think we are on track for a better day today .yesterday we saw some rain , but not heavy .
No plans for today
Have a wonderful day

Good morning all.
Loverly drop of rain late yesterday. Most welcome.
Just back from the daily stroll with Minnie.
I saw the family of foxes again, and there was an extra one, so that makes it 5. No pictures as the cricketers were arriving and the foxes will soon vanish.
I also saw the other one that I call speedy at the other end of the big field. I don’t know how fast it was going, but it really can shift.
Nothing yet planed for today so will just let it happen.
