It is nice and hot here, love it.

After all the drama of yesterday, this evening has been wonderfully calm, the wind has dropped, there was a nice sunset, and there’s quiet. Temperature is a bit too warm at 19 degrees but hopefully not a showstopper for sleep.

You got rid of your wind problem then.

Morning. Another muggy night for sleeping. Off for a walk and hoping it's maybe slightly less humid this morning.

Good morning. Damp and overcast here and I can hear spits and spots of rain. another muggy night but i took the duvet off the bed and just put a light bedspread on and I actually managed to get some sleep.

Stay safe folks.

Horrible night. So hot. A very broken sleep.
We had lots of thunder but it was distant.
Today is supposed to be wall to wall sunshine......just too hot to do much.
Had my coffee and about to wash some glasses.
Toasties!!!
Anyone else enjoy them? We go months without then a spell of munching on them. Yesterday's was cheese, tomato and ham.....yummy.

Good day. A very pleasant 19⁰ this morning with a cool breeze blowing. I've opened both the back and front doors to let this blow through the house - hope to get the temperature down inside. We are forecast for 24⁰ but I think it will hit 30⁰.

Gentle rain in the night dropped the temperature for a reasonable sleep.

A mountain of ironing to start soon before the temperature rides then I plan to harvest and freeze runner, French and green beans. Also need to make spicy courgette and tomato chutney........'tis the season of bounty.

Boris bought me coffee, beans and cake yesterday. Today he's given me £50 towards my bike service. Magic. Just need him to buy me a new bike now.

Good morning fellow retirees,

None of the promised rain last night, it's due today.
All this talk of rain reminded me of an occasion when a few of us were heading over to run the IOW marathon. It was traditionally held on a Saturday afternoon, 2pm start. We were on the ferry and it was hissing down, my mate said " don't worry Kev, rain at Seven, dry by Eleven"
Needless to say, it chucked it down all throughout the race ☔☔☔ ( there's something a bit surreal about running in a race when there's torrential rain and you have people sheltering under umbrellas handing out water in cups)

Have a lovely peaceful day folks ☔🏃‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏊‍♂️🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️🏊‍♂️

Morning all fellow retirees.
Another hot and sweaty night. Plus, the small bitey flying things got to me yesterday with numerous bites around my ankles and legs. Yon never see the blighters who do the deed.
I shall be spraying myself with insect repellent today.
Rain and storms forecast for later today and the rest of the week
