Good morning Mick and all to come from a glorious sunny north Surrey.
Grannysomerset does your DH like jelly? I nursed a patient who’s wife had fed him jelly for months as he would not drink. There is also a product called Jellydrops which was “invented” by some one who’s gran had dementia and she wouldn’t drink. I am no good at links but if you google Jellydrops it will come up and you can order online.
Had a very relaxing day yesterday. Gazebo up for shade, paddling pool to cool me down and a good book to read. These high temperatures suck the energy from you so was glad not to have to do anything.
DH is walking with friends the morning. I will visit mum and dad and pop in to see DD. Other than that some washing and ironing may get done.
Wishing all a good day and hope those feeling poorly are on the mend.

Good morning from a hot, sunny E Kent.
I overslept day, the heat is exhausting. I went around the Ouse with my Dyson air blade thingy. It did help. I have never, ever enjoyed heat above about 22C.
Tha Open is over and ginormous orris carrying cars and golf buggies joined the coaches and buses last evening. Dismantling the village starts today, but the own should lose its restrictions and cones from tomorrow.
Cleaning today and turkey salad for dinner.
We had “wallpaper paste turkey” last night; the DCs flattering description of turkey an vegetables in a bechamel made with the bone stock instead of milk and topped with dumplings.
Hope today is gentle with everyone especially those in the sick bay. ????☀️

Skulking is no excuse for beating me by 30 secs., Jax but sending you a sporting hug anyway. ?

Good Morning Mick and everyone. Since I’m awake…and often last….thought I might try to be 1st today!

Burnt Orange roof tiles here? No. Lit by morning sun. So pretty against the blue sky. Aiming for another pool and do very little day today, but dogs need to go for their Rabies booster shots - every year here. Our wonderful, reliable gardener (DH) is already outside watering all. I can then eat my breakfast in good conscience!
No laundry to do - but always ironing! Think it might take me most of the day to plan to do it…or not.

Take care all, today. This is not how I imagined Freedom Day would be in England, but a dear GS will be happy - he’s 25 today! ?. How did that happen? A 3-year old always to me!
I must sort out why my photos have all taken to appearing sideways.

Sending you (not too) warm Monday wishes from France!
??‍♀️?

Good morning Mick and all from a sunny S Hants, it’ll warm up soon, but pleasant at the moment. Family bbq was lovely yesterday, we sat out in shade but it was quite oppressive. MrJ off to work soon, I’ll be skulking indoors today.
Wishing you all a pleasant Monday, stay safe.
