There is a heatwave arriving in the next few days................ ...

I've been working in the garden today (central Scotland) filling the new tubs I got for my Birthday Yesterday. Had to retire indoors as far too hot in the sun. As usual, once the kids are back to school we are blessed with a mini heatwave.

Well kitty I've succumbed too, summer clothes put away, 9 Tog duvet on the bed, 11C outside and I'm feeling cold.

I have a feeling that my central heating may be switched on this evening for the first time for months. My hot water bottle goes to bed with me now and the cat loves it.

It is 13C in London and dull- certainly not warm. Friends of mine in Scotland had 2 cups of coffee in the garden today.

I'm living in hope we'll get an 'Indian Summer' my shorts and t-shirts are waiting to come out again had to wear jeans and long sleeve t's this week..

Its going to be a long old Winter if we don't get a blast of warmth in the next month or two..

Just as one swallow does not make a Summer, one weekend with the heating/electric blanket/thermal vest/socks/scarf/ cardi/ fleece/ jusmper on, does not make an Autumn!(does it?)

Not yet, please not yet! Still wearing summer clothes with a jumper pver and our CH has not been on!

I'll be extremely grateful as will be on holiday

Thank you kitty, but I might just take a brolly too, and wellies...
