Chilly!

Me Too!

I had to go out this morning for a hair cut. When I returned I got straight into my comfortable 'duvet day' winter track suit

So close to the heating having its ‘just test to make sure it’s all right before the winter’, 17, feels like 14.

Dh is still in shorts and a thin short sleeved shirt, saying, no, he’s not a bit cold….

I’m not complaining, I wouldn’t want to be in the European heatwave and my plants are getting a lovely soaking. I never put my winter clothes away so they’re always to hand - the winds here can be vicious.

Yes I've ended up like a drowned rat three times this week. I dug out my long winter coat today as sick of getting soaked. We've just had our annual heating check, very tempted to test it myself.

Heavy rain here today, but it's mostly welcome (except for the poor tourists) and definitely preferable to heatwaves.

We've had so much rain, today it hasn't stopped. I rode in the rain, took the dog for a (short) walk in the rain and picked veg from the garden in wellies and a raincoat this afternoon. It feels like October but I'm another who prefers this to the heat we had last year.

Just seen on FB a friend north of us in Hampshire has lit their log burner!
I too couldn’t take 40deg plus.

Nice here.

Not at all hot, 16 and rain, dogs love it as do I.

Pouring down in Newcastle, very cool and blustery too.

I should have changed into something warmer when I got in from a very damp morning.

My crochet blanket is now getting large enough to cover my legs whilst I was watching the tennis!

It's poured down and I put polo neck jumper and thick socks on it's really cold.

It’s certainly raining here but not at all cold still in sleeveless top and just a cardi when I was out and about with my brolly up

On couch with 3 throws over me. Refuse to put heating on, I, ll survive.

I’ve got the heating on 😩

I haven’t been out today, it’s rained nearly all day. I did some cleaning instead and changed the bed. Didn’t wash the bedding though, left it till the weather picks up next week as I like to give it a blow on the line.
I’m wearing three quarter leggings and a short sleeved tee shirt. No winter clothes, but I have got a micro fleece at the the ready to put on tonight.

I’ve got the heating on 😩

Gracious yes, and the fire burning. Lovely!

I was out this morning and came home as wet as a drowned rat. 🐀 There was going to be a picnic in my French group to celebrate Bastille Day, 🇫🇷 but soggy baguettes wouldn't have been a good idea!
🥖 🥐
The forecast for next week looks iffy too.

Oh! It's Bastille Day.
I knew the date was significant!
Fireworks have been banned in France, I think.

Just re-watched the film, "The Day After Tomorrow", released in 2004, one of the better apocalyptic climate change blockbusters. It seemed exaggerated in parts, but who knows?.. I'm intensely worried about the effects of global warning, and in particular about just how soon it could all go so badly wrong. I won't be here to suffer from its worst effects, but what a poisonous legacy we are leaving our children and Grandchildren.

Organised firework displays are still taking place here in France just individuals are banned from buying them. Some Departements having been having drone displays instead.
It's hot here but not like Italy or Greece thank goodness.

Hope it doesn't rain tomorrow - it's St, Swithun's Day!!!

Its rained all day but its not cold.

Glad it's not just us crazyH and Norah. Mr. S. thought I was joking until he saw the look on my face.
