    I’m with @JennyJ about comfy temperatures …

    31.3C here a little while ago … down to 28.9 at the moment. My ankles are puffy … it’s going to be hotter tomorrow 🙄 🥵

    33C at the mo after peaking at 35C.  The clinic rang this morning to check how I was and advise me to stay cool, no walkies and keep the leg elevated and ice blocked.  Very impressed that they do that but seriously frustrated now as there are limits to how long I can lie about and read and can't get comfy to do embroidery.

    @B3 - maybe you need reading glasses for gardening now;

    I forecast that folks south of the border with be hot footing it to live in Scotland before much longer. Rarely gets that hot up here. Thank goodness.

    Bifocals but they didn't help! The camouflage works a treat for them @obelixx

    Has anyone ever taken plants on holiday with them? We're thinking about having a few days away but I've got some tillandsia seedlings that have only just germinated and need regular misting. They'd probably be alright if the weather isn't too hot. Maybe I'm just being too cautious  :/  I've moved all the tillandsia into the greenhouse while it's hot though and they're doing really well as long as the shading is up. It makes watering them a lot easier if nothing else.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    You're taking a wife and two  small boys on holiday - and you want to take seedlings as well!!!! I think that might be taking a gardening obsession a bit too far.

    It's difficult to take them on the train, so no!

    I hate this weather.

    Put the seedlings in the bathroom while you are away, wild edges?
