It's 30c in the shade here, just short of 45c in conservatory with blinds down and fan running as glued down carpet is lifting
Little fidget aka as brugmansia has already needed two cans full of water and hose is just moving around garden on soaker under things.
I know we are all 27 and won't remember but the last time we had weather like this was 1976....I read about it
Drunk that much water I think I'll burst, not a nice sight Was going to post about veg I'd picked but it's too warm up here and brolly is calling me. See you all later.
Rain radar shows rain heading here in about an hour. ( free web site.... will it rain today)
FB, glad you Hh is in good hands. Fingers crossed.
Watering and deadheading first thing this morning but no more until it cools a bit. I remember 1976, and standing outside in the downpour when the drought eventually came to an end,. Strange, as I'm only 27.
I genuinely don't remember it Looks like the weather is topsy turvey as we have had two lots of rain this afternoon. Luckily the sun came out in time for my visitors and the boys loved the sprinkler and watering the garden which gave his mother and me a chance to chat
Hope your carpet stays stuck down KEF sounds far too hot. I think some chair holding down is required Maybe with a cold one in your hand
How exciting Fidget if you do get some released from the hog hospital
Absolutely boiling here, but clouds coming along that might mean thunderstorm. Glad hedgehog is OK. Been moving roses today, yes I know I shouldnt but when something's not right in the garden it annoys me. Absolutely shattered now and starving. Waiting for a delivery of a hot pink shanghi garden umbrella, Hubby says he is going to refuse to sit under it and why on earth did I order pink. I said Im the one that likes the shade, I do all the gardening and I'm paying for it so if I want pink I'll have it.
Still roasting here too - far too hot for me outside - 30 in the shade and there's very little of that anyway
At least we're to get some rain over the weekend which is badly needed.
I remember '76 too Woody - and I'm only 27 - what a coincidence...
It was horribly muggy like this when I was expecting second daughter 17 years ago. At least they'd changed their view about having it 'nice and warm for the babies' since I'd had the first one - it was early July and they had the heating on despite the humidity and the thunder going on outside. When we opened the windows in the ward they kept coming round and shutting them and telling us off
Glad hoghedge is fine fidget. I was watching the wasps coming for a drink at the little birdbath (seed tray filled with gravel and water) - easy to forget that insects need somewhere to drink too. There's a few nice little rocks for them to perch at the side, although the sparrows were impatiently waiting to get in for a bath as well.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Have you ever made a purchase and wished you hadn't. Ive just bought a book entitled Gardening with Shape, Line and Texture by Linden Hawthorne. Ive only read about 10 pages and I already want to dig up everything in the garden move some plants round, discard others and make some very expensive purchases. Ive had to put it down while I get over the initial urge to rearrange my garden.
Pauline I'm a tad younger but they were the days when you didn't know about suncream so I was a really tanned person. Now I can't sit in schorcio sun...Caribbean heat and sun seems different, love that, but currently I'm not liking this here. Don't want cold but don't want extremes, think I've turned into my mother
Hi Fairy missed you. I think you & I are about same age, 27+ I was a legal drinker that year Far too warm for me to want to do anything. Meal is salad and prob' tinned corned beef, I've actually boiled some fresh beetroot and a couple of eggs, too warm to faff with anything.

Little boy hedgehog has gone to hedgehog hospital. They will keep me informed. I may be able to have some others released in my garden.
Very hot still here.
Great news about little chap Fidget
