I've been allowed to turn the heating up!! grin

Foxygloves Wed 31-May-23 18:46:28

Lit the fire in my sitting room!

B9exchange Wed 31-May-23 18:50:25

Sitting in the living room with my padded coat on!

Nandalot Wed 31-May-23 18:52:35

Heating on and blanket over knees. Hard to believe it’s the 1st June tomorrow.

crazyH Wed 31-May-23 18:55:56

I’ve turned the central heating on

Musicgirl Wed 31-May-23 19:06:29

I have a hot water bottle against my back.

Marydoll Wed 31-May-23 19:09:04

I'm feeling quite smug. It's been a lovely day here in Glasgow and more of the same for the rest of the week.
Makes a change, usually it's the other way round!

Lumiere Wed 31-May-23 19:09:57

It's still 18 degrees here in the NW.
We sat outside for an hour after dinner and had to come back in, as the sun was so strong.
Getting the parasol out of the garage is on tomorrow's job list

Heating’s back on, and I’m wearing a jumper and a cardigan.

MaizieD Wed 31-May-23 19:15:22

Sorry, another smuggy one here.

It's been cloudy but warm all day here in Durham and now the evening sun is out.

Blondiescot Wed 31-May-23 19:19:22

Smug brigade here too - it's been roasting here just south of Edinburgh for the past few days now!

Put on the furry dressing gown just now! May have to bring out the highly prized Oodie (wearable blanket to the uninitiated), DGD picked out as my Christmas present last year.....if this cold snap persists! We ARE in the far far North though....

I'm slowly inching the dog's blanket over to my side of the sofa. He's watching...

I’m well and truly fed up, I have thick sweat pants on, socks and tee shirt and sweatshirt, this is my winter wear, it’s actually b cold here in north Essex, even the spaniel is cold, she’s normally full time panting this time of the year, but is trying to get under my blanket. Just eaten dinner, toad in the hole, mash and veg, gravy, this is winter food, salads can just jog on!!

Chilly (14 degrees) this morning in the Somerset wind which had picked up again, the sun came out at lunch time, a switch was flipped and it was suddenly 19 degrees. Lucky I think.

tanith Wed 31-May-23 19:29:23

Not cold here in London I’ve been sat outside reading.

ShazzaKanazza Wed 31-May-23 19:30:40

I’ve switched on the heating as well it’s really dull and cold on the East Coast.

NotAGran55 Wed 31-May-23 19:37:56

Lovely here in Berkshire. Polo shirt and lightweight jeans all day and it’s still 16c and sunny ☀️

Grannmarie Wed 31-May-23 19:39:46

I sat outside this afternoon, knitting in the sunshine, unusual for Lanarkshire but as Marydoll said, we're having a warm spell. I'm wearing a sleeveless linen shift dress and flip-flops. We've still got sunshine ☀ and blue skies.
I hope all the cold Grans get some sunshine soon.

Iam64 Wed 31-May-23 19:42:16

Oh my! I’m cold easily but - here in the frozen north west, it’s fabulous. The sun is still shining, it isn’t raining and that cold wind has gone away , for now 🌸🌺🌞

BlueBelle Wed 31-May-23 19:46:52

Hot water bottle and thick hooded cardy over normal clothes

LucyLocket55 Wed 31-May-23 19:48:45

Horrible cold wind, overcast and gloomy in Buckinghamshire. Thermal socks on my frozen feet and homemade soup for supper.

bridie54 Wed 31-May-23 20:02:16

A cooler day here in central Angus but i don't mind as i got prickly heart on my forearms after gardening in the sun on Sunday/Monday. It's been unusually hot and sunny for days here.
Today my DD visited from north of Glasgow leaving the sunshine there, and was wrapped up in my crochet blanket with her summer coat on too. I'm usually a 'cauld tattie' as we would say but it wasn't that bad. I just put my fleece top on. Supposed to be back to sunshine tomoro.

BlueBelle Wed 31-May-23 20:03:32

I had a memory pop upon fb and I looked so brown and well,
I m so miserably cold and not been in any sun for what seems like years

Sallywally1 Wed 31-May-23 20:11:07

I seem to be cold all the time!, best thing I bought this year was a Lakeland sheepskin electric throw. The only trouble is my cat likes it too!
