    Good morning all.

    Nan2, the storm passed us by too. We had a few minutes of rain mid evening.

    Hospital for me this morning, follow up appointment to the radiotherapy treatment.
    Usual mum stuff this afternoon, then OH and are going for tea and a pub quiz with our friends who have just moved house. They want us to try out the new local with them
    Have a good day everyone.

      Good morning, ladies. I've been AWOL with having visitors, but they and OH are out this morning, so I've got a few minutes to say hello. It was 34C here yesterday, and even I was finding it hot. I was also really tired and my feet looked like I'd borrowed them from a blow up doll!!! We spent most of the day lazing in the garden, and I could really have done with a siesta, but it seems rude when you've got visitors!!!

      It is quite a lot cooler today - perfect, in fact. I dread to think how our allotment has faired during this heatwave. I dread what I might find when I go there.

      Gem - I hope the hospital appointment goes well and they give you a clean bill of health. xxx Enjoy your afternoon tea.

      Our visitors leave tomorrow, so I've got a day to tidy up, etc and do the washing, then on Saturday it's our monthly dog walk, and on Sunday we're going up to DS1's for a barbecue to celebrate his birthday. It feels as though the summer is racing along, and I want everything to slow down, so that I can enjoy it and treasure every minute. I'm sure I never used to feel like this - it must be my age.

        Morning ladies , been to Aldi and B&Q , I wanted a vanity unit and new sink for the downstairs loo when we tile it but I have changed my mind , its all boxed in and very neat as it is and to be honest we have no idea what lurks behind the boxing in so best not to try and fix what isn't broken , The sink is the right size and nothing wrong with it and I don't think I want the mess and upheaval so just buying the tiles instead .
        Very sticky last night , we didn't get the storms either ,I wandered around the house all night trying to get rested to get some sleep ended up sitting listening to the birds singing in the garden at 4am , it was quite pleasant , its that misty drizzle at the minute .

          Good morning all, its a much cooler day here , very pleasant in fact after all that heat.

          Gem hope you hospital appointment goes well.
          Nan2 has your neighbour found their bird.

          We don't know how our neighbour is. I don't like to knock on the door and ask as I may appear to have been nosy . The morning she was admitted into hospital at the time I was leaning out of the bedroom window to try and cool off as it was very hot and I felt as if there was no air I could see everything . Plus they are Polish and their English isn't too good. The lady that went into hospital can speak English fairly well but her husband is hard to understand so I feel trying to explain to him that I wasn't actually spying on them would only result in me looking a complete idiot.

          Oma we have a lovely vanity unit under our sink in the bathroom. When we first moved here there was nothing under the sink just horrible pipes . we thought about boxing them in but we saw a vanity unit in Argos of all places, its white with lattice doors and its a perfect fit . I can now store all my odds and ends that won't fit on the bathroom shelf in there. Perfect !

          Going to hoe some flower beds as its cooler outside and then get some lunch. Have a lovely day ladies
          Bring me sunshine in your smile.

            Mimi I want one in my bathroom too but has to be wall mounted as its not actually a bathroom but a wet room so cant touch the floor , most of the pipes in there are boxed in too but you can see behind the hand basin when sitting on the loo and it drives me mad I hate it ,I'm not good with seeing likes of that .
            Just had to leave off typing this heard a noise in the back looked out of the patio windows to see Brian on his way up the ladders to try to put a thing of some sort on the Satellite dish that is almost on the roof .I quickly put a stop to that and the ladders are safely chained up again where they belong , that man will be the death of me .

                  So true Plant he's what's known in the trade as a troubleshooter very well paid but the last time I saw him he looked shocking no matter how well someone is paid and I know he thrives on challenges it must get you down In the end , I keep quiet I can put my foot in it without knowing it

                          Overcast here, not sure what the forecast is. Food shopping for me this morning.

                          Went to Aqua class yesterday, very different to the one I attended some years ago. Driving there I couldn't get the air con to work so reading Gemini's post I thought it might need attention so I called into the local garage on the way back and they said it was a major fault that would take some time to find. When I told them that it had been into the BMW garage the day before they advised me to take it back to them so I went straight down there. At first they couldn't see how it could have happened there, as they had only done a modification to the battery connection (this was on recall). I insisted that I wanted it sorted out as the last time I drove it I had cool air coming out now it was hot. they kept the car and brought me back home and phoned later to say that they accepted responsibility and were returning it fixed (it was a fuse) and a complimentary MOT. I must let the local garage know as they were so helpful. I usually get my service done there as BMW is more expensive and want to do it annually but the garage said the amount of miles I do it only needs a service every two years.

                          I had a ride in the BMW Electric car, very nice but a very nice price too. Just the right size for me and as I only drive locally it would only cost me £2 a week for the electric charge. They told me that they are bringing out an electric mini soon.

                              Hi all..
                              Quick hello as baby GS here and refusing morning nap! I will bring his lunch forward and try again afterwards. OH is around so it doesn't matter if he sleeps over the time I need to leave to collect GD.
                              Early start here as hairdresser, due at 8.30am was early!
                              It rained here all morning but I think it has stopped now.

                              I'm glad your air con was sorted out Plant. It's a good job you went back to BMW.

                              Take it easy Qwerty. This hot weather, plus taking care of little ones, is tiring! Much cooler now I agree.
