We were like that for weeks PF. I was even forced to go s**pp**g on Friday. Mother was getting antsy! She's only here for another week so I had to give in.
Think we're getting summer just on Tuesday, AuntyRach
It's back to the usual cold, damp July weather today - it only just gets into double figures and struggles to get to mid teens at all. Rain came back on early evening yesterday after a dry day. Think it was a decent temp here yesterday though - up to about 17, but I wasn't here as I was walking. Definitely nowhere near double figures there with the wind chill.
Been very windy too - that's the factor that's been largely missing here since the winter. Very unusual.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Stockton on Tees, having had nothing good to report for weeks I opted out of this thread not wanting to make you all miserable as well as myself. Yesterday SUNSHINE, the family landed, my Daughter with a very bruised leg hardly able to hobble, she did her hamstring during the Parents race in the school sports? We sat in the conservatory all doors open and the rest in the garden sun worshiping "oh bliss" a bowl of strawberries completed the wonder of it being summer at last. Today awoke to dull overcast skies although as I write the sun has broken through and lit up the room, could it be true?? are we actually getting a heat wave?? "Oh" I do so hope.
Been engaged in a week of birthday celebrations (eldest daughter, son-in-law, sister and me all July, so just been monitoring garden and greenhouse. We've had full and hot sun, torrential rain, a thunderstorm and lots of heat and humidity without any breeze or sight of sun. It feels like I'm living in my propagator!
On the plus side the heat has helped with my late start this year but now starting to focus on possible blight issues. Who needs action video games when you've got a garden and weather constantly plotting to get you

Muggy and drizzly here in SW Ireland but weather to improve next week ... 25 degrees! Yippee
very misty , but warm here. Forecast 28 on Tuesday when I'm at work all day, grr
Total cloud cover this morning, not a scrap of blue to be seen.
Alex Deakin has upped his game and replaced that 30 with a 32, and a new weather map graphic of thunderstorms all over the place.
GnW you disappoint me! I'd have thought you'd be close to sunstroke by now!
Up here in the Northish Westish (Fermanagh) it hit high teens with sunshine yesterday!
We couldn't really remember what to do. 
Today the forecasters are "thetnin" 20°.
I have a cool dark room prepared!!!

It's horrible. (The weather AND the shopping)!

Been doing some weeding of gravel 'beach' area by pond... can feel that it's warming up as the sun trying to break through.
Working this arvo
so hoping to have supper outside when I get back (well a cuppa at least).
