25.8c in the garden so I've spent most of out there, my friend from the flat upstairs made a lovely salad for tea so we had that and 3 bottles of wine in the garden, it was still very warm 22.3c at 7.45 getting cooler now, last night there was a real old fashioned "pea souper" of a fog could go the same way tonight, oh I did tidy the shed out before the sun came round into the garden so did not spend all day in the sun.
Totally hot even with a good breeze in Kent today, I heard the radio say it was 29. Stupid me forgot to put sun cream on yesterday as I went out to inspect a job and ended up doing hours of work in a bikini, so I had to cover up my back today because its a tad raw. I tan easily but I can burn without cream. Silly me
My plants are absolutely loving the sunshine, everything is going mental. and I finally got the last of my big landscaping done. Now I just need the foliage.
Was scraping the crud from around walls and paving of the patio today and feeling rather warm (sweat dripping into eyes) so on a whim put a thermometer on the kitchen windowsill - 38 deg. No wonder I was feeling a bit wobbly
Sunny again here in S Devon but a very strong and drying Easterly breeze. Good for drying the washing, my plants aren't so sure. I always find the combination of high winds and sunshine very unsettling.
Teesside has sunshine although the temperature is vastly different on the east side of the house, an easterly straight off the sea is nicely cooling, The west side south facing garden is stifling so I keep popping round the other side to cool off. Dug out some misplaced Japanese Anemone and it is hard work, leave one small bit of root and up it comes again.
Quite a bit cooler today at 18.1c but still enjoyable to sit in, when I took the dog out this morning Frank I could see the haze and crud acroos The Styx it just lingers am soooo pleased I live on the to of a hill, I may get the best of the bad weather but I also get the best of the best weather si I think I'll stick to my side of The Styx.
Clear, lovely sunshine all day, although with a bit of a strong easterly breeze at times. I still have lots to plant - but decided to enjoy the garden and sat out with a good library book (I know whodunnit but am now reading to find out how quickly the good guys can nab him!) and a refreshing glass or two.
