I’ve got the heating on 😩

Gracious yes, and the fire burning. Lovely!

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.

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

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

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

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!

Pouring down in Newcastle, very cool and blustery too.

Nice here.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Jaxjacky Fri 14-Jul-23 17:46:56

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

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

Witzend Fri 14-Jul-23 17:29:04

And it’s been raining virtually all day - I’m back in winter woollies, cosy new Lazybones trousers on for the first time.

Given the weather in southern Europe I’m not really complaining, but it’d be nice to have a little bit of summer back soon….
