Well actually, it's rather nice. It was 20C by 7.30am and bright and sunny, it'll be pretty warm later!
reached about 18c yesterday here. A bit of a shock at night as bedroom was too warm. not used to it and its to be 21c today..GULP!!
21c indoors here already.
19c in the shade and third day of clear blue skies :)
18c now with more to come apparently. only back of 10 am..
23C now outside and 19.5C indoors - 'cos we've kept all the curtains closed! It's the only way to properly keep the temp down and the house not turning into an oven:)

Marco.
must be the season for it I just cut mine at lunchtime. Nowt to it, this barbering thing is a right lark.
I'll be seeing Charlie next Wednesday for a senior gentleman's cut and finish :D
ie a proper haircut so I don't look like a thug.

The thug look is in.
Always has been. I should know! :D
I just cut mine to 1 inch all round then trim the fringe off with the scissors that came with the clippers. Only takes 5 minutes. Not even had to re-charge the clippers yet and I've had them almost a year.
Usually I use a number 3 comb which I think is 10mm. If its really warm I go lower to a 2.

No1 for me at the back and sides, then finished neatly with scissors. Clippers don't go anywhere near the top - that's what accentuates the 'thug look'. Scissors and comb only there, then finished off with wax or gel, or at least that's what the pretty little hairdresser who comes round does!;)
Marco.
Scissor cut with clippers only being used to taper the neck in. My barber stops at regular intervals to check he’s getting the length right. I had booked today but decided I could get another week out of it. I use a little gel on occasions but more often than not my hair behaves itself.

Mrs. P clippers me to a number 0 every 4 weeks, in the kitchen. It's like a proper little barber shop - we call the business "P. in the Kitchen Sink" :)

I asked her, and this is what she said:
I might just grow me some bees, but I'd leave the sweet stuff for somebody else, but then on the other hand I would keep the wax, melt it down, pluck some floss and swish it around! I'd have me a crop, and it'd be on top, that's why I'm moving to Montana.
No Idea what she was on about :scratch:

Looking like another scorcher again... 19C already and rising!
Currently enjoying a nice cappuccino and croissant al fresco before contemplating what I fancy doing today:cool:
Marco.
to be a bit cooler today. top about 17c they say. better for me.
to be a bit cooler today...
Lol, heaven forbid temps up there should ever reach the heady heights of 20C!:D
Understand for you though, that it's better being cooler.

was 23 yesterday.. a bit of a culture shock from our usual below 10c:D
warm and sunny again but it's also blowing a gale which spoils it a bit.

28C now and clammy with dark cloud building up. Looks like thundery weather.
27C here and sweltering - no sign of thunder, though!
Marco.
breezy, 16c and sunny with some cloud.. nice enough.
don't know about outside but 22c in the living room right now so will be warmer outside as my house is always a few degrees cooler inside in hot weather.
feels like there is air-con running when you walk in the door.
Drove down to Brighton to pick up youngest, 28.5c according to car temp display - nice to be back in Suffolk 26c :)
Does feel a little "clammy", wouldn't be surprised if there was thunder later. Just been enjoying a beer as reward for driving round trip in one go - garden is delightful, so quiet and green.
Don't think we will get thunder here, humidity is too low because it's so windy.
pleasant here indoors too.. no need to strip off today.:eyebrows:
dull today.. 11c.. might improve later tho

Wet morning so far
Wot, you're kidding! You don't normally get much rain up there:D
Rained here a bit last night, but dry now and a little overcast and 18.5C.
Marco.
Bright and sunny now, and 21C:)
Marco.
almost bright but not quite. 11c
Just started raining here, that's summer done then..

04-06-2021, 09:32
Been raining for about an hour here. Mild though.
Nope, lovely and dry/sunny here and 20C... Just about to fire some rainbow trout on the BBQ and open a chilled bottle of Chablis!:cheers:
Marco.
dry and sunny here, not much of a breeze either.
now 15 and hazy sunshine or bright cloud
Steady rain, but warm - really quite pleasant for garden:)

It's been dry for days now, and some days have been warm. Today's not been bad.
Have others experienced a dump of sand over cars - which often comes from places like the Sahara? Our cars have been covered in the stuff.
No sand here either - just rain! :(
No rain here, it's like the Bahamas. Only without the sand.
Yup, must be a 'darn sarf' thing, as it's been bone dry all day, and sunny and warm!:)
Always get a fine film of 'Sahara dust' sitting on the surface of my car though, no matter the weather. Black really shows it up!
Marco.
Looks like it's gonna be another scorcher! Blazing sunshine and clear blue skies here, an 18C. Due to last all day, with highs of 23C.
Temp just perfect at the moment for breakfast al fresco!:cool:
Marco.
13c and some sun here but to go overcast later... top temp may be 17
blazing sunshine here but due to cloud over at 1600. Top temp 21C. Nice.

Not that warm yet, but sunny & dry. Better than the six hours non-stop rain we had through the day yesterday.
Even semi-derelict Edwardiana has its charms on a day like this

yeah they are pretty old cars, but cute:eyebrows:
Which cars are you referring to, mate? I can't see anything in Macca's pic that fits your description..
Marco.
He's taking the piss dude
Lol ok, then it's flown over my head, as I thought your "semi-derelict Edwardiana" comment was aimed at the buildings/architecture, not the cars.
Maybe I'm missing something?:hmm:

Heavy rain. Supposed to clear up later but no sunshine today.
Sunny start, put shorts on so that’ll soon change...
sunny here too.. about 12c. looks like it'll be a nice day; hopefully not too hot

06-06-2021, 09:57
22C, but fairly gloomy and still a bit damp from an overnight shower.
we must have had a lot of rain overnight as I've just been down the shop and the flood is massive again.

Humid here today, but no rain. Just warm. Been sorting the garden in case it rains later, which it very much looks like it will do.
Still a lovely day though.
As far as I'm concerned any day I don't have to work is a lovely day regardless of the weather. Even if it's

Anyway... After a cloudy start (and rain overnight), it's back to sunny Wrexham! 20C:)

Flash Gordon. Overcast here now but pleasantly warm. Just been for a walk round the shops, outside world’s still there [emoji846]
a nice day its been without getting too warm. just how i like it
Flash Gordon..
Ah yes, I have vague memories of such - what we talking, over 40 years ago?:eek:
I liked FG, but wasn't a massive fan. From that era, I preferred the likes of Fireball XL5 and Joe 90:)

Ha - she'd loving it, mate. I've been reining in her penchant for wandering around with next to nowt on, lol (calls me a spoilsport:doh:), especially as the pub next door is open again!:eek:
It's just a shade under 23C - beautiful evening...:)
Marco.
Great. Thought she might. Lucky pub [emoji23]
Lol - with weather like this she's been giving me grief about [WHEN??] she's getting her hot tub! She's dying to get the girlies round again for another 'sesh'...
However, if it's not put in the right place (and thankfully I'll be in charge of that;)) the pub next door will defo get an eyeful!!:eek::eek:
Hey, it's a tough job keeping these naughty little minxes in check..

12c and sunny... high today predicted as 18c .. we shall see
17C already and sunny, It'll be a nice day!
Exactly the same here... Did you find it very stuffy in bed last night, though?
I did.. It was 21C last night in our bedroom, which is far too warm for me, so I slept downstairs with the window wide open, where it was 19C - still too warm, but better!

I was OK last night Marco, went to sleep straight away. Though I can suffer when it's hotter.

I needed to have an ice cold beer, drank very quickly, before I could get to sleep.
Blue skies, 25c in shade. Not sure how accurate my thermometer is but planned lawn mowing and raised bed cultivation will have to wait until evening.
was sunny here but clouded over now. Still comfortably warm though.
cloudy but pleasant here too.. about 18c

24C at the moment and feeling very humid. There's watery sun filtering though the hazy cloud, it'll be a bit sticky tonight I think.
Getting humid here too. 59% in the room, pretty much all winter it's been in the forties.
sun is out here now.. about 19c im told but doesnt feel it.. quite fresh and dry
Has to get to 21c before I feel it's actually 'warm' as opposed to just 'mild.'
26c is where I start thinking it's hot.
Broadly I agree, although that doesn't stop 21C, indoors, feeling uncomfortable to sleep in at night (as I hate warm, stuffy bedrooms), or 25C outdoors, equally so, especially when humidity is high:)
Marco.
I'm fine sleeping in 21C, over 25C it gets a bit uncomfortable for me. When I had an attic room it could be 35C in the summer! You get used to it after a while, your body adjusts.
Nope, I couldn't breathe indoors in that heat! I find breathing difficult in stuffy conditions. Were there any windows in that room, or what was the ventilation like? I'd have to sleep elsewhere (even outside), or die.. At best, I'd get no sleep whatsoever.
When it gets to 24/25C in our upstairs bedroom, as it surely will soon, I'll be sleeping outside on the lounger in our [locked] backyard! Perfectly comfy, much healthier, and rather nice and relaxing, sleeping under the stars - even when it rains (just put the brolly up)!:D

Aren't you worried someone (or something) might interfere with you?
You might get probed by aliens (although you'd probably quite enjoy that :D ).
Gosh yes, dahling, bring it on, especially if the intruders are resplendent in latex...:eyebrows:
Lol, no, aside from a roof (which will be added in due course) our backyard is fully enclosed and secluded within our grounds, partly by our house, walled garden and garage, all of which surround it - and as long as the garden gate and garage door are locked, it's very safe and totally private at any time of the day. That's why we enjoy having our meals there so much:)
Indeed, you could sit there naked and no-one would know, apart from passing birds and aircraft... During the summer months, the princess doesn't need too much encouragement either, testing out that theory!:bum::eek:
;)
Marco.
Expect surge in sales of drones with cameras in Wrexham area :eyebrows:
Lol - don't encourage her, she'd do it out sheer devilment!:lol:
Marco.
Our bedroom is on the south facing side of the house. If it gets too hot, even with all the windows open, we simply de-camp to one of the bedrooms on the north facing side.
In general, if the temperature goes above 30C, I just 'shut down', and can only think of seeking shelter and/or a cold drink! Ironically, despite that I have been to dozens of countries where the temperature has been above 30C (peaking to 40C), yet I am prepared with plenty of water in my canteen and a good sun hat.
However I have to confess I suffered heat stroke whilst trekking in the desert in Mauritania. Didn't know it at the time, but my companions there said I started talking 'gibberish' (yet coherently - my speech was not slurred). They sat me down under a shady tree, I poured a litre of water over my head, and I had a kip for about 20 minutes. After that I was right as rain, but I learnt my lesson - that is keep drinking water, whether you feel thirsty or not!

Put a roof on that and you'll just end up with another room - then where will you kip? Unless you install a sliding roof like they used to have in 'Supercar' :)
Lol yeah, good point, and also somewhere else to turn pink!:doh:
No, she's thinking more 'open and airy', along the lines of a pergola, to facilitate outdoor dining when it's raining during the summer:)
She also WANTS a firepit for outdoor parties during the autumn/winter, which I guess will tie in with the bar/patio area and pizza oven, and of course hot tub...

You mean any more than usual?:D;)
No, interesting tales there... I've never been outside of Europe, so I guess never really experienced genuinely searing heat. The warmest was 38C in Pisa, last time we were on holiday in Italy, and walking in it for quite a while, which nearly killed me, until I found a shaded ice-cream parlour!
If I have to choose between existing in severe temperature conditions, I'm more comfortable and suited to the freezing than the roasting!! Quite simply, it's far easier to warm up when you're cold, than cool down when you're hot, especially when you're naked and so have no more clothes to remove!:D
Marco.
Nope, I couldn't breathe indoors in that heat! I find breathing difficult in stuffy conditions. Were there any windows in that room, or what was the ventilation like?
.
There was a huge skylight which I would leave open all the time, day and night, but it made no difference. You could climb out the skylight and there was a little bit of flat roof to sit on, but not really enough to sleep out on, although I did consider it. I used to sit out there in the evening with a can on the go though.
Been plenty of hot places, Mexico, the Caribbean, Nevada, California, but the hottest was in Europe - San Sebastian in Spain. 44C in the shade. Now that was crippling.
Wow, that's just madness... Thank God now for air-con, eh? Although, that won't help when you're outside.
Actually, outside in the fresh air (or as fresh as it can be in 30C+ temps) I'm not too bad, as you can always grab a super-cold beer or Coke and either drink it and/or place it against your forehead, to reduce your body temp, walk about or whatever, but indoors at night lying in bed when there's little to no light inside the bedroom, and it's stuffy and you're trying to get to sleep, the same (or similar) heat just seems much more 'suffocating', although I accept some of that effect may be psychological.
So how do you cope in extreme cold conditions, if indeed you've ever experienced such?
Coldest I've been out in was in Austria in December 1991, where it was -16C. Breathing in that sort of air was something else.. And multiple layers of thermal clothing, especially on your extremities, is vital in order not to get frostbite, and also somewhat surreal when accompanied by clear blue skies and bright sunshine - it's certainly invigorating!:)

I worked for a while in a meat warehouse -28C. Then moved to refrigerated which was balmy by comparison, 4C.
I avoid the cold if I'm not getting paid to be in it though. You wouldn't see me going on holiday somewhere cold. I did go to Scotland a couple of years back but in fairness I had no idea it would be as bad as it was.
Too warm in bedroom tonight. Like an oven.

Lol, no worries... But that's where you and I are different. Scotland's great - just wrap up well! The air quality up north, due to a complete lack of pollution, is fab and very good for you, and the scenery just stunning.
Both Del and I *LOVE* the snow and holidaying in countries that lend themselves well to 'winter wonderlands', as we're fundamentally not beach people, although she wears a bikini quite well:)
In that respect, it'll be interesting to see what it's like when I take her to the Ice Hotel, in Sweden, for one of our anniversaries (I've yet to decide which one), and actually sleeping on a bed made of ice!:eek::D
Just stunning: https://www.icehotel.com/art-suite

Air-con just makes going out in the heat feel even worse! :)
Walking outside after an hour in a supermarket during a heatwave is a shock to the system.
Yeah, much like getting off an air-conditioned plane when landing in a hot country... It's like walking into an oven - dreadful feeling! And also fundamentally unhealthy, which is one of the reasons we're against installing air-con at home.
I don't even like using it in the car, preferring simply to drive with the windows open, and just circulating the air, which coincidently is why we'll likely fit some type of ceiling fan when we do up our main bedroom, in order to manage the heat better during the summer months:)

I bought an evaporation mini-air cooler last year. Not tried it yet, but when (if?) it gets scorching, I'll give it a try. It'll probably be useless, but you don't know unless you give it a go. (no, I won't put tap water in it :))
a bucket of ice sat in front of a fan will work as well as an air con....til ice melts of course:eyebrows:
Yup, but by then I'd be in the land of nod! When the room's at our preferred temp (around 15C), I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, then wake up 9/10 hours later.. I don't really notice the heat while I'm asleep; it's *getting* to sleep when it's hot that's the problem. So if I had a 'window' of 30 mins or so of coolness, with a bucket of ice and a fan, which would be just enough to bring the temp down to allow me to get to sleep, problem solved!:)
During the summer months, unless I go outside, it's more like climbing the stairs to the bedroom, feeling the hot air getting worse the higher up I go, then entering the bedroom, which is like an oven, sweat pissing off of me...
Then trying to get to sleep, twisting and turning, usually failing miserably, then either going downstairs to sleep on the sofa, where it's usually 2-3C cooler, or outside on the lounger, where it's usually a good 2-3C cooler again, but I rarely get more than 6 hours of proper deep sleep, and suffer for it accordingly (as I can't really function on less than 8 hours):rolleyes:
As I've said before, our lodge is a 'winter house', where it's really quaint and cosy with the log burner on during the winter, but in the summer months it can be a nightmare. The combination of very thick sandstone walls (which absorb the heat like a sponge and retain it for days, even when the sun goes away), relatively low ceilings and small (leaded glass) windows, which can only be opened so far, and which we can't open fully at night, as we don't let the cats out, makes it not the best place to be in warm weather!
The only saving grace is that we have stone floors (with rugs) throughout the house, which helps keep things cooler - goodness knows what it'd be like with fitted carpets!:eek:
Hey-ho... Good job we only get a couple of months a year of 25-30C temps, but you'll appreciate why although we enjoy the summer, for various reasons, unlike some we don't dread the autumn and winter months, and with it, cooler temperatures!;)

to be grey and overcast today.. still should hit 17c tho. no sun to speak of tho.
Bright and sunny here mate, and 19C, which is just nice:)
I'd be quite happy if it stayed like this (or got no warmer than 23C) for the rest of the summer! Anyway, breakfast beckons, al fresco... A fresh grapefruit, chilled glass of pear juice, usual cappuccino, and today a nice pain au chocolat:cool:

indeed.. no point in taking risks if you dont have to. all delivered and put away . freezer topped up and fridge full. plus some pantry items. will hold me for some time.
temp up to 15c already; a touch of un forecast sun too

indeed, but supermarkets are in general one of the riskier plaes to be so for now i will continue to get it in. Although deathes are way down as are hospitalisations, the infection rate up here is very high again... pretty much since it reopened. It'll be 3 months yet until im fully covered anyways
Anyway, in terms of hot uncomfortable rooms, Del's been doing some research and we're probably going to get one of these:

Yups, I get all that, and that's cool. I was thinking more in terms of Geoff, as he's much fitter than you, and so wouldn't want to see him stuck in the same rut for years with getting his food delivered, just because he's got used to it over the last year or so.
For me, one thing this pandemic has taught us is that we need to learn to LIVE LIFE more to the full and have FUN/enjoy ourselves while we can, as you never know when those pleasures will be taken away for good, either through ill health or something else!

Lol, no worries... But that's where you and I are different. Scotland's great - just wrap up well! The air quality up north, due to a complete lack of pollution, is fab and very good for you, and the scenery just stunning.

The air quality and the scenery (save for the eco-crucifixes) was stunning, I give you that.
As for wrapping up well I think at one point I was wearing pretty much all the clothes I took with me all at the same time. (This was the last week in June btw so I hadn't packed much).
It wasn't bitterly cold, just standard cold, with lots of wind and rain. There was only one day of the seven where it was warm and sunny.

Cheers, mate. It really is. Very serene and tranquil, and as I said, totally secluded. In the summer months, Del and I often just sit there until midnight, after having enjoyed a lovely meal, sipping a bottle of bubbly, chatting away and having a laugh, whilst listening to music...
It's those types of private spaces that make a home special:)

That's not quite what I was suggesting. Interaction with family and friends is fine, but not too much or too often. As for the public at large, they can do their thing and I'll do mine.

Fair enough mate, but in terms of the bit in bold, unless you're not too fond of them lol:D, then why not? You've been (or will be shortly) fully vaccinated. So what's the problem?:)
I see my dad almost every day, and would gladly socialise with any other members of my family, almost as often, if they lived nearer (most are up in Scotland). Del and I will certainly be seeing all our friends again over the summer, and looking forward to it!:cool:

there is no doubt that the virus alone has altered manys' perceptions of what we do. geoff was also badly ill with something else so is rightly careful. im a bit institutionalised having been isolated for about 16 months. I will hopefully get out and about again tho, but im not kidding myself; its going to be difficult
Sure, mate. I totally get all that and accept it. It's just that it would be a shame, going forward, for anyone to let this thing control their lives, as it really isn't necessary.

Decided to get one of these to keep our bedroom cool during these hot nights: https://evapolar.com/en/evalight/
Result? Absolutely brilliant! I have it 'trained' on my face. It's like having a lovely gentle cool breeze accompanying you all night, plus it takes the dryness/stuffiness out of the air and improves air quality accordingly, making breathing easier in stuffy conditions. Runs near-silently, too!
It's made a massive difference, so should be able to get a decent night's sleep now without having to kip outside:D Highly recommended if, like me, you suffer at night in bed during the hot weather.
Tomorrow will be a big test though, as it's set to be an utter scorcher!!

I may give it a whirl later Marco. Temperature is 30C at the moment, but not too uncomfortable yet. It's breezy and I think that's keeping humidity down.

clear blue skies; looks like it will get even warmer - I really fancy a swim at the coast, then things would be perfect:)
was going to go for a walk but the drizzle has started and it's actually a bit nippy. Had to zip my jacket up when going down to the shop.
Typical when I've got the day off.
Listening to a bit of music instead so I suppose it isn't time wasted.

Temperature's been just over 31c for a few hours now and it's getting more humid. Could be a sticky night (no, not that sort :)).
quite breezy(up to 30mph) and about 13c.. not going to be sticky here:D

just been for an aimless wander around. Saw some ducks. It's pretty humid even though there's no sun. I was only strolling along but I'm sweating like a pig.

Gizmo up and running. It works! Enough cooler air blowing out to make it worth using. Dunno how long the water reservoir lasts.

It got up to 27°C here earlier, but now clouded over and a little breezy. Just lovely.
More clear and hot weather for here tomorrow and Wednesday, then rain. Garden is dry.

Thought you said it was chilly?:D

Has it warmed up *that* much since then? Maybe if you unzipped your jacket, or took it off, you'd sweat less?:lol:
;)

Told ya! You should've pressed it into service before now, mate. Enjoy:)
As for the water reservoir, much will depend on how hard you run the unit. However, in my case, easily 5-6 hours. Anyway, when it needs topped up, you simply top it up - no biggie.

yes it had actually - from 12c to 17c in between the two trips out. :ner:
I like to take my jacket because it has all my stuff in it and it actually looked like it was going to rain again when I stepped out of the house.
