Too hot for me too today - took refuge in a dark north facing room with a fan and did lots of sewing 🧵. My latest project (Chr£&;&as picture) requires the addition of 1,500 seed beads round the border. It’s taking a while 🤣
Had to rig up a shade tunnel for the pumpkins 🎃 at midday - they had loads of water but couldn’t cope with the heat. They seem to have revived though.
Day at the beach tomorrow- hoping for a sea breeze, and that our promised thunderstorms hold their fire til the evening 🤞🏻
I have friends with offspring expecting A level and GCSE results in the next few days. What a complete and utter mess.
@chicky the youngsters care having it tough this year 🙄. Thankfully niece got an unconditional offer on the course she wanted at Portsmouth and grabbed it ... she’s already moved down there, got a place in Halls sorted and is working at a job that should last her through termtime and holidays as well as this summer ... an amazingly resourceful 18 year old. 😃
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
@chicky -they've reversed the grading on all the results here, after the outside board had 'adjusted' the teachers' gradings. Hopefully, the English/Welsh schools/colleges will take note. Smacked bum emoji needed for you mentioning the C word this early in the year.... 16 isn't unusual here @Obelixx at this time of year. Ended up too hot for me today again. Sun came out at 1pm and it got to 22 and no breeze, so I had to come in. My little water lily has three good buds on it, so hopefully they'll be prompted into opening soon. Hope you and OH are ok @WonkyWomble. I'd never be able to leave the house if it was that hot. Better go and collect daughter - the trade off for her getting some bits and pieces for me
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thanks Hosta x I don't know how you go on these sun soaked holidays! I'm visiting Santa for mine! Fairy.... if you keep boasting of your cool temperature then don't be surprised to find you have a womble invasion!! Chicky... gorgeous sewing project! You mention Christmas all you like if it comes with snow!!!! Drinking alcohol makes flushes worse Dove so I won't join you, I'll have strawberry ice cream instead!
It’s been 30 here today, and it felt like double that in my office - no window in there and no fans allowed 🥵. Wearing PPE to see patients was zero fun too.
It’s fairly cool in my lounge this evening (22) but I don’t fancy upstairs just yet (25). The patio is still warm underfoot and my evening washing is drying nicely. I hope everyone can have a comfortable night.
Sun soaked holidays may be a thing of the past for the foreseeable @WonkyWomble. Between cancer last year and the lockdown this year, Hubby hasn't earned much and holidays are not on the agenda. I'm going to be soooooooooooooo grumpy when it cools down ,and gets dark.
