Good Morning Everyone,
Its light and the start of another warm day here in Brackley no sign of thunderstorms either just hot unfordable weather .
Yesterday , did the usual , supermarket wise many areas such as frozen food and ice cream blocked off , plus shutters down in other ares , people panic buying?
Health the current climate is effecting me .
Take Care,
Mick

I think Mick that’s it’s because the fridges/freezeers in some supermarkets haven’t been able to cope with the extreme heat. One of my daughters was expecting her usual Tesco delivery for Friday evening and she received notification from them that it had been cancelled due to this reason so I expect the same happened near you.

Good morning from a cooler,overcast Bristol. Although the night started very warm, it is appreciably cooler atm.
Like Mick, our local Tesco is denuded of cold/frozen items,this was because the fridges and freezers broke down due to overheating, although our Tesco petrol station and little shop was ram raided and much of the visible stock stolen.
There were 16 people at the coffee morning including one lady who had to be escorted to her car and a/c as she was starting to feel unwell. I have to confess feeling unwell too, walking home from church at midday.
I rested for most of the afternoon, and did some skirt assembly as well.
Today, I had a surprise invitation to lunch at DD’s. An even more surprising self invitation by DS for a “proper” breakfast after I go to early church (his sister and family are vegetarian).
I’m hoping the heat dome has moved/disappeared from today.
Keep safe, keep cool, be sensible in the sun but enjoy the weather. Hugs to the missing posters and to the poorly.

Good morning, it’s damp and cloudy here in south Glos and
I am looking out of my bedroom window at grey clouds approaching from the southwest so hopefully more rain 🤞🏻
I watered my pots last night but more rain will be very nice.
I had a good go at getting the housework done yesterday, but the heat is affecting my breathing so I will continue today.
I did give bigger dog a good grooming, getting hand fulls of fluffy undercoat out. It’s ridiculous how fluffy her undercoat is 🫣
Tiddler had a bath and then sulked in the most dramatic fashion, giving me the side eye for the rest of the afternoon. She makes me laugh, she’s such a funny little dog.
Wandering around watering my pots yesterday evening I clearly need to get the lovely gardening man in to attack the jungle. My garden is lush but everything is growing out of control! No bad thing but I’m somewhat aghast 😁
Best wishes to all x

Thank you grandMattie I shall! I’ve just made myself TiB.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where the torrential rain (goody) woke me up just before 5am. However I’ve slept really well. Must check how England fared last night in a bit.

I’m seeing my local little family at some point before I fly off to Málaga tomorrow afternoon. I’m not eating with them so will decide later whether to pop into my larder for some lame and new potatoes or whether to go on my own to what was ‘our’ favourite curry house over the road and dine alone there.

Ooh it’s so much fresher sitting drinking my tea near my open bedroom window! I shan’t be sorry to see the back of all this humidity.

Just checked the football activity from last night.

Scotland are OUT of the World Cup apparently and the Tartan Army are heading home after they lost to Croatia whilst England won 2-0 against Panama so are through to the next round 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Good morning from s somerset

I was not expecting another hot day yesterday

Thank goodness for cooler weather and clouds today, Like many, I don`t think I could stand much more of the oppressive heat, I felt off colour by yesterday afternoon.

No housework today, I am in recovery mode and need to get out for some exercise and that might well be on my bike and to the allotment. I cannot be doing with sitting for another day

I have fresh greens to pick and potatoes to unearth. Strangely I could not stomach the sweet potatoes in my fridge so they went into compost. I think I am going to put more salt on my food too

First I must try to reduce the heat held in my house, it went down a couple of degrees last night with the loft hatch open

Good morning from the NE Mids. It certainly looks like another hot day today and I really must tackle the ironing so that job is next on the list after my morning cup of tea. Judging by the direction the clouds are moving there’s a westerly wind blowing…….I wonder if it might bring some rain 🤔.
Have a good day one and all!
