Good early morning. I’m up and getting ready to catch a coach to Buckingham Palace. The Coronation paraphernalia is on view. A tour around the Palace and then the gardens.
My friend and I didn’t dream we would be having a heatwave , when we booked it. Never mind , the coach will have a/c and I have a fan and face spray. 🥵.

Yesterday we saw the cycling tour pass by as we sat at our usual country pub. It was fairly busy with enthusiasts and we cheered them on. Looks very dangerous to me.🚴‍♂️.

Enjoy your day everyone, if you can 🌻

Oops! Good morning everyone! I didn’t mean to leave anyone out 🙏

Good morning from s somerset. My air filtering machine is indicating tiny air particles blowing in through the open french door, quite likely to be fungi or leaf mould spores

Not a good night, it was too warm all night, so a slow day for me today. Got to look after this body, would be all too easy to get heat stroke, don`t need sun on me for that

I was supposed to be going to an inside event this evening, many people, not much ventilation. Two relations with covid are saying not to go and I will listen to them. No need to inform about covid these days and it is rampant

Have a good day

Good morning Mick I completely agree with you regarding the weather, I barely slept last night despite having a fan on.
I struggle with balancing my fluid intake versus limited fluids because of severe heart failure, if I don’t drink enough I get migraines 🙄
Hopefully it will be cooler by Monday 🤞🏻
Yesterday I did housework most of the morning, 5 loads of washing dried beautifully including the dog’s beds so that was very satisfying. I flopped in the afternoon after another cool shower, as did DH and the dog 😊
Today little planned other than making a salad for lunch 🥗
Take care everyone 🌹

Good morning from a dawning Bristol. The hot night was relieved by a frozen hot water bottle! Try it.

Yesterday was quiet. I had coffee with my upstairs neighbour, who had invited the chap, upstairs opposite. He was unable to join us, but popped round to see me in the late afternoon.

T is a retired architect who told me that he couldn’t understand how/why asbestos was found at this late stage, without visiting or taking samples…. He also gave me advice on what to ask and to insist on copies of all certificates involved.

As the poor manager/warden is on holiday this week, I will collar her next week. Unfortunately, I have to do all my whinges via her, so as, I assume, the managers further up can dump all the responsibility and s..t onto her.

I’m serving coffee at church this morning and have made some chocolate biscuits. More pottering/sewing in the afternoon.

Gentle thoughts to those in sorrow, ill health, or distress. Celebrations with the birthdays, etc. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning as another scorching day approaches.

Thank you for the wonderful support from you kind people here yesterday. The tragic episode certainly puts things in our life in perspective.

Very belated anniversary greetings to Mr and Mrs Urmstongran. Happy travelling to those on holidays.

Good Morning Everyone,
Twilight here but dry possible clouds as well here in brackley .
The sooner the heatwave breaks the happier I will be , as seem to enjoy cooler and wetter conditions personally .
Trying not to dehydrate as drinking water more .
Take Care,
Mick
