Evening everyone, Goodness me what a scorcher today 🥵🥵 Haven't been able to sit outside at all. Still 34° in the conservatory. @Ladybird4 strawberry icecream would be perfect. Great photo of the butterfly. Love the snoopy pic too. @Rubee so glad OH got his socks. Do hope they help ease the pain and make him feel a bit more comfortable. @Songbird-1 is it an awning thats attached to the wall of the house and you pull out? We're waiting for the delivery of a Gazebo. Was supposed to arrive yesterday, but OH had a email to say it will now be next week.🤦♀️ @Ante1 glad you had a relaxing day. Good to see you @Yviestevie hope you're feeling better. Glad you had a lovely time with your family. @Chivetalking bet your mum was loved seeing you today and having lunch with you too. Minds gone blank, sorry must be the heat. Will say night night to you all. Hope it gets cooler and we get a good nights sleep.
Good morning @Songbird-1 & @Ante1 and all to follow. Hope you managed to get back to sleep Hazel. It certainly was hot last night. I took ages to nod of and kept waking up. It rained quite heavily during the night, but not for long. Got up just after 6 and went for a wander round the garden. Felt cool and smelt fresh after the rain. Ante hope it's a bit cooler for you today. Enjoy your time at the cottage. Hope your veggies are ok. No sun at the moment, but warm. Although a bearable heat. Time for another cup of tea.
Good morning Hazel and Ante. Sorry to hear that you had a poor night's sleep Hazel and I hope you got back for a snooze at least before your son arrives today to put up your awning and lay the stair carpet. I slept well again last night and maybe those years living in warm countries has made me used to the heat as I am not finding it too difficult to cope with.
T'Bird, I had an email from VM advising me that they are carrying out essential work in my area to 'modernise and future-proof our network' on Monday 25th. Hello-o what on earth does that mean? Anyhow, I could have difficulties with my services but should be back up and running by 18:00. This is probably preceding a price rise. I had heard about internet services being affected by the heat so hope your MIL is all sorted now.
Busy your meeting sounded wonderful - especially including a cream tea. Do you ever hear from P how Caesar is going on at the donkey sanctuary?
Ante, enjoy your trip to the cottage and I hope all is well with your veggies - after the deer attack and the hot weather.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Good morning SGL, you weren't there when I posted. I'm hoping we have rain today - according to the forecast this area has a 57% chance of it. My garden would like it very much.

I am expecting a delivery of some rudbeckia plants today and have had an email from that Alpine singing service to say that they are on their way! I do hope that they haven't suffered too much in transit.

Good Morning Hazel, Ante, SGL & LB and all to follow, much nicer here now the temperature has dropped. We had light rain around 10.00pm and a few rumbles of thunder, the air is not so heavy thank goodness 😅 Hazel Sorry to hear you had such a rotten night, hope you get a chance for a snooze later on, Ante I hope you find all is well with your fruit & vegetables at the cottage today, SGL Pleased you had some rain, hope it’s a better temperature for you to enjoy outdoors today, LB Hope your plant delivery arrives in good health, had to smile at your Alpine singing service 😂 Have a good day everyone.

Morning @Ladybird4@Chivetalking and @Songbird-1 Glad you got back to sleep Hazel. My hair looks rather wild this morning too, must be all the tossing and turning I did last night 😂 Hope it's not too hot when your son fixes the awning on the wall for you. He's going to be a busy bee today, hope carpet goes well too. @Ladybird4 hope plants arrive safely and healthy. @Chivetalking are you with the little ones today, only a couple more days to go and you can enjoy a lovely long holiday. Weather is cooler this morning, but still warm. But a more pleasant heat. Have a lovely day everyone

Hazel, hope you manage to sleep a bit. That counts for all of you.
Here is hot, but we are still used to this temperature. Nights and mornings are pleasant. Today I'll definitely go to cottage. Must water my veggies.
