Gymstagran, a very difficult day for you and your family.?

More laundry - feel obliged to take advantage of the heat by washing bedspreads - and a cuppa this afternoon with a friend feels like busy day in this heat. Keeping the sun out feels so counter culture but it does help to make the house to comfortable.

Good morning everyone from a cloudy but warm Northampton. Had quite a good night but will swap my 4.5 duvet for the extra light 1 tog this morning.

Then a hoover round the bedrooms and stairs, an early lunch, and out to my health walk which I guess may be taken at a slower pace or shortened. Anyway, it will be good to have company. Shall get my legs out and don some shorts!

Then back to sit in the garden and read - did that yesterday afternoon after I'd cleaned the garden benches, which were full of spiders and their webs.

Gymstagran a sad.day flowersflowers,

Make the best of whatever day we have.

Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire where it’s pleasantly bright.

Welcome Hymnbook.

Gymstagran thanks a sad day for you.

Today I’m being collected by a lovely gransnetter, we shall have coffee and cake and chat. smile

Hoping all the poorly people have a better day today.

Gymstagran what a sad day for you. The ‘firsts’ are very hard.??

Good morning Mick and everyone from a grey but sultry Carlisle. It's cooler so I think I will run the vacuum round shortly. It clouded over yesterday afternoon but pre-lunch the fierceness of the sun made it unwise to do anything physical in the garden. One thing I will have to do out there today is pick peas, suddenly I have a glut of them and will have to freeze some.

Welcome, Hymnbook, you live in an interesting part of Nottingham.
I hope everyone has a pleasant day.

Gymstagran ?

Stilllearning Tue 12-Jul-22 08:58:39

??? Gymstagran, you’ll get through the day. Glad you have family with you.

Good morning from an overcast Oxfordshire, it’s 19 degrees and the sun is up there in its hazy glory.

Easy day today, cleaning the bedrooms that will be used from Thursday, some early prep for MzOops 50th on Saturday, paddling pool arriving today, we have children coming up to the party and rather than have the hose squirting everywhere decided to contain the children in one area, if it is as hot as yesterday all the adults feet will be in there as well!

Who said a swimming pool was a waste of money? Not me.

Gymstagran?

Have a good day everyone, keep cool….

Good morning from a sunny Northumberland where I slept well, the joy of staying in an old farmhouse with very thick stone walls.
Family had a day out without me yesterday and I spent 7.5 hours with my book and music, so peaceful.

Thinking of you gymstagran a sad day, sending ❤️

Good morning all from a sticky North Leicestershire.

Sorry I'm late and must dash as I having a singing lesson at 10.

DD1 has her second chemo today. The dose is being adjusted so, hopefully, she won't need 3 stays in hospital after this one. She is very cross as all her hair has gone apart from some tufts which are grey which , she says, is adding insult to injury!

Sending love to all who have sadness and worries at the moment!

Good morning Mick and all. It’s cloudy in my corner of Lancashire and has rained overnight. Currently 21°C and feeling humid.

I slept well despite the heat, I was tired. I didn’t go for a walk yesterday, it was so hot. I have a new iPad so spent time sorting that out. We do so much online nowadays.

Good morning all from an overcast W Kent. Off to catch up with friend who has strong political opinions, hoping the heat hasn't got to her!

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it is windy and coolish 19 degrees.
I had my oats and berries in the garden but have drifted back inside.
You are certainly having it hot in the south. It was cooler in Southern Italy yesterday than Nottingham well maybe the same.
Reminds me of 1976 when my pregnant sister came to Scotland to cool down.
I've a catching up day today as my cousin has gone to Glasgow for the day. I may catch up on sleep.
So sad a day for you gymstagran I will think of you
flowers
Matt is very apt today Urms
Keep cool all of you or else just do nothing and bask in the heat

LauraNorderr Tue 12-Jul-22 10:14:37

Good morning all from a cool damp Anglesey. It’s rained overnight and there’s a lovely breeze. I’ll shut those barn doors Pant, I know you like it hot.
Another difficult day for you Gymstagran, although your grandson’s sports day will be a nice distraction. Keep on keeping on.
Keep on keeping on to you too gMattie, there’s always one who makes it all about themselves, doesn’t matter, I know you’ll rise above it.
Hope your daughter’s chemo session goes well this time Kitty. Our daughter-in-law had her dose adjusted twice before it was just right for her. Her hair is growing back, slightly darker blonde and thicker so let your daughter know that the hair thing is not forever, although the grey bit comes to us all.
We’re off for a walk while the coolness remains.
Wishing you all a good day with a few ???.

Good morning Mick and all from a cloudy but close northwest coast.
Singing at sheltered accommodation today so will have a little warmup this morning and I like making an effort to dress up a bit. Will put a single sheet on the bed as too hot last night.
Gymstagran ? and thoughts to kittylester
Another try for pic of my regular walk in the dunes at the bottom of the road ?

hollysteers Tue 12-Jul-22 10:21:04

And another
