Evening, I had a lazy day. It was too hot for me so I stayed inside and sorted out some drawers and 2 wardrobes. Then feet up with an audio book. Trip to the Charity Shop for me tomorrow.

It’s still too warm … I’ve got to ask.
Is it true tou get loads of midges up Scotland? Are they biting mad in this weather?

God Yes, they’re the scourge of the Highlands. I used to get them on evening walks in the forest with the dogs, had to use midge spray every day. If your unlucky enough to get caught in a swarm then heaven help you. You can get bitten badly and end up looking like you have measles or chicken pox.

A late good morning All,We had some thunder and rain earlier but it isn’t any cooler here so just a bit of tidying up and weeding,

Midges…mainly in the Highlands not here in the Lowlands thank goodness :relieved:

See Ye A’ later,x

I woke just about 2 am,lightning flashes nonstop, then thunder, like I’ve never heard before, I thought the house was coming down then torrential rain, it didn’t stop till after 7 am, it’s now calm but still humid…

@Rox … god those midge bites looked awful. It must be murder if they itch like mad.

Still humid here south of Hadrian’s Wall but supposed to be getting much pleasanter over the weekend.
I did venture out today but found myself sitting on handy benches to take a rest. now I’m an old biddy

Good morning All,sunny/cloudy/cooler here…May mow the front grass if it stays dry…Daughter & SIL sold Their campervan and bought a motorhome,so are coming to show it off with all its up to date gizmos…looks a right beaut on the pic’s…nothing else planned for the day…not doing any cooking so will just defrost a curry I made last week for dinner,and cold meat sandwich for lunch.

Have a good weekend Folks.xx

Morning May … it’s cooler here too. Much pleasanter with a refreshing breeze.

I might even start to fancy proper food again instead of just scoffing ice cream.

But here, in South Yorkshire, it is 25C…

I can manage 25 … 30 saps my energy. In Europe they’re touching 40, it must be murder.

Well Spain is 45C today. Unfortunately there will be fatalities in that heat…

Ice Cream. Love it but too much upsets my tummy these days.
This is lunch for me, right now.

Good morning Folks,it’s a cloudy warmish muggy one here and I’m sitting in the back garden with a cuppa watching the young Magpies having a splash in the fountain,

Had a prob’ logging in here…again!..Enjoy Your Sunday all.x

Aftnoon … it’s much fresher here, thank god …
With a bit of luck I might have shed a few pounds in that hot weather :grinning:.

:roll_eyes:…I know for a fact I haven’t shed any lbs…quite the opposite…instead of cooking healthy meals I’m grazing on sandwiches/biscuits/cereal & Magnum ice lollies :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:

Morning, Weather’s a good bit cooler and quite a breeze too. Been to the pool, Tesco, and drank my latte while watching the waves crash.
Got 2 horses to groom after lunch, then I might get my feet up.
Have a good day. :slightly_smiling_face:
