Morning Mick, morning All. Our corner of Somerset looks quite bright if hazy.

Not a drop of rain here or in the forecast which changed overnight from storms to dry and sunny. I’m quite disappointed. We’ve some suffering shrubs.

Daft as it may sound we enjoyed yesterdaystrip to a quiet, air conditioned supermarket, Mr C came and counted it as his daily walk. Sounds odd for sure but the freshness was wonderful

Little on our agenda today, all very quiet here although we may get a visit from our elder son and his daughters, depends how the covid tests go. Mr C has requested a roast meal. I nearly refused but then anything he’ll eat is a bonus as he’s very thin now, a roast it will be. Oh heck.

I too am hoping to see marydoll, been thinking of her and all people with personal mountains to climb.

Hope Sunday is kind to us all.

Good morning from another warm one in La Sarthe with no sign of rain, sadly.

We were drinking TIB at 5.00am then went back to sleep for two hours. Now we’re awake we’ve been joined by the cats, which is becoming their routine, once they’ve had breakfast. Both go out happily at night in this weather.

No plans for today other than keeping cool.😎

Hope to hear from absent friends like Marydoll and it’s good to see Urmstongran when she feels up to posting. A blessed Sunday to all. 🦩🥰✝️💐🦩

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s cloudy and we’ve got some light drizzle. It’s forecast to be cooler today at only about 20º so I think that’s the end of the good weather up here.
I’ve nothing much planned for today, hopefully a nice quiet day but we may see the DGC later. DH is working this morning so I’ll have a lazy couple of hours and then look busy
Hoping all is ok with marydoll and we hear from her today
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from Cornwall where it's hot and wet. A huge thunderstorm in the night has done nothing at all to disperse the heat!

Today my son, grandson aged 13 and I are going to my allotment to tackle the fallen tree. I'll make us hot dogs on my gas ring in the shed.

An email last night saying that the remaining five Creation paintings are being collected today and will be on the church walls next week. It's been a long wait but at last I'll have some proper space in my workroom. My neighbour is making me a roast dinner this evening in exchange for today's shower. Yum.

Morning all from a humid West Oxfordshire.
Gosh it was so warm and clammy yesterday. Apart from a wander round the garden I didn’t go anywhere. I rang younger son for a chat and he was in Berlin. He was on holiday for a few days with friends. Church this morning, where it will be cool. Something light for dinner but I’m not sure what. OH cooked chicken curry last night which was perfect. I do hope Marydoll makes an appearance. I miss the stories of her day. Others too such as Urms, who I hope is having a good day. Try not to melt in the heat!

Good morning! We’ve had some rain thankfully, hoping that’s the end of the heat 🤞🏻 I really can’t tolerate those temperatures nowadays.
Yesterday DH walked the dog early, I tidied around and then I spent the rest of the day doing very little other than crocheting,
I did have a lovely long chat with DS, they may come away with us to Wales at half term or they can stay at our house while we’re away.
Today nothing in particular planned, I will see how the weather goes, hopefully cooler and more rain although it’s still going to be 27° ☹️
Take care everyone 🌹

It’s just started to drizzle. Will be interesting where we hold the church service!

Good morning from Bristol. Still dark dry.
We have an outdoor service at church this morning. I’m rather dreading it because if it’s fine, it’ll be very hot in the sun, if it starts to rain as forecast…
It’s still very hot and sticky. Because I was born and brought up in the tropics, I’m always told I should be fine in this weather. The truth is that I always hated it, always suffered, turned puce with any exercise, etc. I loathe this humid heat.
I hope Maydoll makes an appearance today, and that it was a blip. Love to the Urms, and others in similar situations.
