lets all get out and about this coming week(7th July).

Winter and those dark nights will rear its ugly head very soon.

Oooh I haven’t heard of the Parsons Table! Sounds like we should give it a go - we’re only in Pulborough.
What I like about the current weather is the warm days and then relatively cooler nights (mostly) which I think is the perfect combination!

Woken to a grey drizzly morning

Fed up of cloudy skies

Well it hasn’t been wall to wall, or even much at all, sunshine here in north Manchester. Another grey day. We had a drizzle of rain overnight, so wellies again on the dog walk fields. Humph

23C is cold here for Summer ! You get used to the heat wherever you live. My husband had a melanoma so he always wears hats. If they hadn’t removed it they said he would have had about 6 months to live. One of the negatives about living in a hot country. B

Don`t discount reflected heat and light eg two of my windows are affected by heat and very bright light bouncing back from two houses, like mine , they are covered in very pale cream render. These windows are downstairs on my west/NW side. I have angled my plantation shutters up to deflect that unwanted input. Can still see out and still have enough light

All and any `work` is done now, I am fading in the heat which intense on the East.SE side now., the sunlight is intense. I cope with plantation shutters made from pale painted wood plus reflective perfect fit blinds on the 5 patio doors and all are drawn and shut

Warm, sunny spells here in Brum. We've just had a lovely walk around beautiful Walsall Arboretum.

Warm here in SW Wales but cloudy.

I would love to be out there enjoying the weather we have had the last few days, which has been perfect for me, neither too hot not too cold.

Unfortunately, the thunderbugs/ thrips are drifting in their millions right now, so even a quick sprint to the dustbin and back has left me scratching like mad with these tiny pests crawling all over me.
Still, I am hoping to be able to go for a long walk this evening when hopefully their numbers will have diminished for the day.

I've given this phenomenon a new name - it is now referred to as 'thunderbuggery' in our household.
