We had a pub meal,which i'm glad about.
Then we went to a local retail park, it was nice and cool in the shops.
Sis in law and me bought quite a few things in Homebargains,The Range and B&M.
Those kind of shops that you didn't know you needed anything till you got there.
The menfolk were more restrained.

Daisy,what a palaver at the car wash. Glad he got the car washed eventually.

[Daisy]

Nanto, a pub meal and a nice bit of retail therapy sounds great.

[Nanto2girls]

Good morning. The sun is shining.

I think I've had two hours sleep, suppose I should be grateful for that.

Anyway, got the washing done early, they've been out on the line for an hour, I bet they are nearly dry now.

Going to make a few ready meals for the freezer, before it gets too warm.

Homemade fish and chips for dinner. Well the fish is courtesy of captain Birds Eye.

[Gemini]

Good morning all.

Oh that's not a lot of sleep Nan2. I'm glad the pub meal was good.

Washing dries almost straight away at the moment doesn't it Daisy?

Hairdresser here at 10am. No other plans so far. No GS2 pick up as it is his school summer fair.

[Oma]

Morning ladies oh my goodness it's hot already,
Like you Nanto very little sleep it was just too hot,
We got up at 2 for a cold drink and to try cooling down,

It's dog day today so won't be going anywhere.

Nanto
Sounds like you had a good retail and meal day yesterday,
Day to relax now.

Gem
At least no school run today , will you be going to the summer fair?
I bet it's hot out on the field , or are they having it indoors?

Daisy
What a job J had , at least it wasn't his car that got caught.
I have ironing too but I'm leaving it till it's cooler,
Just laze today enjoy not doing anything.

Plant
How are you with this heat are you ok?
I saw on the news how hot it was on centre courts yesterday and many people passing out.

Lizzie
My DD would never be out of that garden centre 😁

We are out for a Chinese with GS & Lucie tonight GSs choice,
So no cooking and hot kitchen for us

[Lizzie48]

Good morning, I met GD1 in the village yesterday for coffee and a chat, her treat! She had to be home early for an early start this morning, DIL is on her way to Wimbledon and DS1 has taken the girls away for 3 days, Parc Asterix near Paris! They love travelling!! I can see they are almost there now.

Me, I am going for a bike ride, see if it eases my knee. I blame fifty fit in the pool, plus the climb of the stairs.

Nanto, do you manage to sleep at all during the day!

Daisy, what a carry on to get a clean car! Mine is in the garage so doesn't get the sand etc.

I will get ready now for my ride.

Hot again here

[Gemini]

Oma, we would like to go to the school summer fair in a way . I enjoyed going when the children were smaller. It's a nice evening event. I even ran a stall once. It's over half an hour drive each way though and no shade on that field . So we will give it a miss.
We love Chinese, enjoy!

Lizzie it will be so hot at Wimbledon!
My 'good' knee has been bothering me this week, I blame the heat.

Our local hopepipe ban starts today. I think it's the whole of Yorkshire, I'm not sure about the rest of the country.

[Daisy]

Good Friday morning, everyone.

Nanto, I love those bright, cheerful flowers. Guaranteed to put a smile on my face. It must have seemed a long night with so little sleep, so you deserve an easy day today.

Gem, it will be hot for GS2's sports day. I hope they make sure the children have hats etc and plenty of water. Perhaps they'll also put up umbrellas or a gazebo to give them some shade. Let's hope it's a bit cooler by the evening.

Lizzie, I hope the bike ride eases your painful knee. I bet you had a lot to catch up on with GD1. Wimbledon will certainly be hot again. A lot of people watching looked exhausted, let alone the players.

Oma, I bet Storm hates this hot weather. Does he find shade? Eva is sleeping through most of it, and it's far to hot to walk her even in the evening. Enjoy the Chinese tonight with J and Lucie.

I am having a "do nothing" day. I slept very well, despite the heat, but am trying to be sensible and not start doing jobs that can wait.

[Gemini]

Daisy, it's not a sports day but the summer carnival from 4.30 to 7.30. I think there are gazebos.

Yes, leave those jobs this heat is draining for us all xx

[Plantaholic]

Going to be hot hot hot today, I am not leaving the house. DS and Dil back from Italy yesterday, not much change in the temp for them. GD1, for OH and H are finding it very hot in Cornwall. Had a call from my GS3 (Birmingham Uni one) he often rings me when he is out walking to get some lunch. He is planning to come home this weekend.

Daisy, I don’t think we have an automatic car wash nearby. I use a hand wash one at the golf course and get it done inside and out, needs doing now but too hot for me to sit and wait.

Oma, one of the benefits of sleeping in a bungalow is not such a hot bedroom but I can’t open windows. Enjoy the Chinese, no cooking is always good. I expect the restaurant has air conditioning.

Lizzie, isn’t it too hot for cycling?

[Lizzie48]

Plant, always a breeze when cycling, hits you when you have to stop though!

[Nanto2girls]

Lizzie, i avoid sleeping in the day time like the plague.

I made 4 ready meals this morning for the freezer.
Hubby just gone for a ride with his brother.
Brother is on his motorbike,hubby is on his quad.
When hubby met up with his pal this morning,he went on the quad then.

[Oma]

Daisy
Storm has slept all day in the shade,
He came in for his lunch then again at 2 for his biscuits then back to sleep.
DD doesn't walk him in this heat and he hasn't pestered either ,

We have done nothing today , I've read my book and had some computer time that's about it ,
Don't have the energy for anything else in this heat.

[Gemini]

It's too hot for the cats

Even little Poppy who is a butterfly destroying demon is just lying in the shade.

[Nanto2girls]

I haven't done much this afternoon.
It was too warm to iron this mornings washing.
Like Oma, i had a bit of computer time.
When hubby got back we had cake and a cuppa.
Then we just sat outside in the shade.
