Good morning all who follow, the weather has turned, it is a lovely sunny winter’s day, just how winter should be. Temperature somewhere up in the high teens or low 20s. Bliss.
I have already been out in the garden after getting another layer of varnish on my bits of wood.
The one nearest the camera would have probably been better off painted but saves messing up two brushes etc.
Am about to go into the garage for a big tidy up - can hardly move in there (I am not a tidy worker), then am going sit on a chair out in the sunshine to read my book.
I had a slightly doubtful look from Chilli jnr when he clocked me reclining in my armchair wearing a neck fan.
A sight to behold…not!
Just going to get on with some domestic stuff today at a leisurely pace.
I’m not sure if I’ll stick with the soft drink option or go for something a bit harder this evening while indulging in my daily fix of The Sweeney…
Probably the latter, somehow a glass of chilled pomegranate juice and a bottle of Perrier water doesn’t quite sit right while watching The Sweeney
“Your nicked!”
Bore Da Bruce and Chilli and all who follow.
It felt just like old times this morning, up at 5:30 and out on the road while Mrs Fox slept.
The long prommenade is hard to resist for a has been runner so I knocked out four miles with a scumptious hill half way.
Good morning everyone, brrrrr, it’s cold out there this morning, only 18c. We’re going through a cooler period, temperatures have dropped drastically, although still reaching 30c in the afternoons. I was actually able to sit outside yesterday at 3pm when it usually would have been curfew time! This won’t last, next week temperatures will shoot up again.
It must be really hot there Chilli, the neck fan should be a good cooling relief. Hope your basil’s doing well. I’ve managed to make pesto sauce twice so far. , but I admit I started off the “easy” way, I bought little plants, not seeds.
The basil seedlings are thriving in all this sunshine, when the secondary leaves appear I’ll pot them on and sow a second batch, it’ll be a little while yet before they’re pesto ready
Morning all – another hot sunny day – temperatures forecast to reach 33c
Have spent the last couple of days just trying to stay cool – temperature in my bedroom last night was 29c!!
Have finished the book which was delivered on Monday – awaiting delivery of another due tomorrow! I feel at a loss not having anything to read!
There is a Pride march planned for the city today – I used to go along when I was younger, that was a time when people were there to have fun and enjoy the day before it all became political.
Nothing much planned for today – too hot – although I must get some laundry done and in this heat it will probably take about 10 minutes to dry!
Morning everyone! Blimey this is the most I’ve slept in in a long while. And it feels terrific! Very few plans today which is lovely in the glorious weather x
Enjoy the heat and sunshine all, I used to love it.
It is not good with end stage heart failure,my right leg, normally the good one ,is the one they took the big vein out of, to provide my quadruple bypass.
It is now elephant size, even my left leg, the bad one, is swollen.
Yes, it does make a difference Sheila.
I find that after a few minutes it starts to blow warm air which makes sense, no cooling unit involved.
Great for popping on every now and again when needed.
I’ll certainly be taking it in my day bag for my hospitality work when I’m not front of house.
It was a gift, you can get some really effective units on Amazon if you’re looking for something a bit more gung ho although that’s reflected in the price of course.
But all thing’s considered, recommended
Just sat outside while Mrs Fox peruses Bonmarche we’ll find somewhere to eat and then set off for home. About a 4 hour drive all being well.
Have booked to come again in October.
Afternoon you splendid bunch. Lovely walk into town this morning and back by the pool. Always annoying when the weather back home is as nice as it is on holiday, I should have stayed behind! Hope you’re having excellent weekends so far x
It’s going great Tracy, she says I’m feeding her too much!
She’s going back tomorrow but will be home again at the beginning of August.
It’s funny you mentioned sleeping longer, I got up later than usual this morning, at 7am!
Glad to hear you’re having nice Summery weather in the UK. It’s getting hotter again here, too.
Hope your basil’s doing well. I’ve managed to make pesto sauce twice so far.
