Gran Chat!

Lizzie, those E Bike fires are devastating. I wouldn't like to live next door to someone who owned one.

Soooo hot!!

The cafe we met our friend in was beautifully air conditioned. The outside tables had no shade so we opted for inside.
From there we went to DD3s and spent a couple of hours or so in the garden with them.
Too hot to cook so we went down to the local fish and chip shop. We decided to eat in the little cafe there rather than takeaway. They don't have aircon so we got very hot!!

Glad to be home with the fan on now.

Good morning.

I think its cooler but still warm, if you know what I'll mean.

There is a few dark clouds looming.
Hope it stays dry, hubby and his brother have gone to a car boot sale.

Morning Nanto,ladies.

It's stuffy isn't it Nanto,
Not as bright but we have no breeze ,
Hope hubby and brother enjoy the car boot.

It was far too hot to cook ,
How is DD3 coping with the heat is she ok?

Nice to go somewhere with Aircon makes it a lot more comfortable,

We out with the family for lunch , going to a posh place for my birthday,
We have been before and really like it,
Sadly Dorothy and James can't make it with Dorothy's legs the way they are and this heat is killing her.

Good morning everyone, and Happy Birthday to Oma!

You have caught up with my decade now I hope you have a lovely lunch.
DD3 had a terrible headache the other day from not drinking enough water in this heat, but apart from that she is ok with it if she stays in the shade and keeps cool.

A bit cooler here too Nan2 with a nice breeze.

No plans today, at the moment.

Very cloudy atm and so much cooler. DD and I have decided for me to sleep in my own room which requires one step up from my sitting room, onto a little landing I am taking it steady. Sil is ordering me a walker with a tray to give me a bit more freedom until my leg is fully healed. Appt with nurse on Tuesday.

Nanto, I hope you have a cooler day again. did your OH find anything interesting at the car boot. What’s sort of things is he looking to buy.

It is nice to sit out in the evening when it is cooler.

[Nanto2girls]

Plant,he looks to see if anything catches his eye.

We have had a few little spots of rai, but we have got the garden done,so it's all looking tidy.

Going to have a shower now, it recharges my batteries.

A rather late Good Sunday morning, everyone.

Nanto, we had dark clouds earlier, but the sun's come out and there's a good breeze. Washing is drying very quickly!

Oma, it's a lovely day here for your birthday! Lunch sounds lovely, but it's a pity D and J won't be able to join you.

Plant, you're making progress, and I know the family will nag you to be careful. The walker with a tray will be really useful, but hopefully you'll soon be walking more confidently as your leg heals. It makes sense to be cautious though.

Gem, when the weather is that hot looking for shade or air con becomes a major concern. At least you were eventually able to relax at home. I hope you're enjoying a restful day today.

OH is due back from his car week-end sometime today. I think the roads will be very busy, so I'll expect him when I see him. I took Eva out about 6.30 again this morning. It was much cooler and there was a good breeze out in an open area of the Forest. The silly dog has made herself hot sunbathing on the lawn, so I've put her cool coat on her again. It's been a godsend this week.

I've been doing some general tidying up round the house - much needed. But it's time for some lunch now.

Hallo everyone, Plant, is there a way to make a ramp so that you can use the walker to get up to your bedroom?

I have just been to take something to GD1, she leaves for Zakynthos on Tuesday evening, well Wednesday morning actually. GS1 and the rest are in Oxford today, enjoying walking round by the look of the photo's.

It is the first time I have been out all the week, except for my early shopping trips! GD was telling me that there was one ### of a storm last night with hailstones as big as golf balls!! I had seen photo's etc and read of all the damage, I thought it had missed up, apparently not, that is how I sleep!!!!! I did hear thunder but missed the rest.

It is cooler today, luckily, 25 degrees now.

[Plantaholic]

Lizzie, thank you for your suggestion. I am managing the step up now. I just can’t carry anything as well.

[Nanto2girls]

Lizzie, its been cooler here as well.

We got visitors about 5ish. Sis in law and her hubby.
it was nice to have a catch up.
