Hallo everyone, the lift saga continues!!!!! My next door neighbour came home last night and the mechanic was busy, yet again. He said the problem is in the housing!!!! I could have told them that. it will be the same story again this evening so no one is allowed to need ambulance care!!!!

I was going to a meeting but I have cancelled it, I have just received a mail and he said a lot have cancelled because of the heat. Feels like 40 degrees.

Friday is going to be even worse.

Daisy, I don't pack the hydrangeas in, they seem to be strong, DIL has a lovely show on their front, just leaves them each year and they come out full of flowers!!!!

I got a mackerel at the Lidl so will have a chicory salad with mackerel , tasty!

Oh Lizzie, your lift saga goes from bad to worse. Imagine climbing all those stairs in that heat. I think hydrangeas are hardy as well. Was it fresh Mackrell? I love it and last night we had smoked Mackrell with salad with crispy cos lettuce, peppers, beetroot, spring onions and other bits and pieces.

Thanks for that info Daisy,
I have never had hydrangea before,
The pot it's in is on legs so good drainage,
I read you shouldn't water them too much so I have been waiting till they look a bit droopy then watering them and they spring back to life ,
I hope I am doing it right as it's a beautiful plant.

Lizzie, those are beautiful despite the drowning!!

Plant and Nan2, I have heard of schools closing due to the heatwave too. We had an email from little E's nursery outlining everything they are doing to keep the children safe and cool, but also warning of the possibility of closure or early finish times.So far they havent had to.

It's a shame to miss the talk Daisy, but you know how you feel . This heat is draining for everyone. Our poor pets included.

This morning I was at my aqua class, but no coffee as none of my friends were there. I popped into M and S for couple of things then home. I was reluctant to leave the lovely cool water at the end of our class!
OH was at the hospital this morning for her monthly treatment.
This afternoon we have spent in the living room , curtains drawn, fan on full with a bowl of iced water in front of it.

Yes Daisy a fresh one, I do love it wit’s beetroot as well.

Gem, they were in a dep pot, I didn’t realize they were drowning until the wet earth got smelly! What a job I had emptying it🥵
