Need a few very large umbrellas for lunch al fresco here Marco

They get 7 weeks these days do they? When I was a kid it was 5 weeks, then in about 1969 it went up to 6 weeks.
All progress I suppose - maybe kids learn quicker these days, although it doesn't look like it. With all the names they've got for it these days (ADD, ADHD, BADHEAD, etc) It's more likely that the staff just need to get away from them for longer :D
I'm not complaining - seven weeks of brat taxi-free commuting certainly makes work more bearable :)
Lol - I think it's six, but Del had some time owed to her, and so added an extra week onto her summer hols, as she also often does at Christmas. She's certainly earned the break, as being a teacher today is a very demanding job. It's not only teaching, but also being a social worker, mentor, councillor and stand-in parent for the kids she teaches (due to a lot of 'parents' these days not being worthy of the name)!:doh:
Anyway, it means we've got plenty of time to go away somewhere nice and also get some stuff done in the house, particularly in the garden, have a few BBQs and socialise with friends and family:cool:
Marco.
It's been getting steadily warmer. Up to around 27C this afternoon, a bit warmer than I like really. 21C all year round would suit me nicely! :)
Pretty similar here, Geoff, and trust me over the weekend it's set to get even hotter! Del and I are about to break out some ice-cold Aperol Spritz - enjoy life!:cheers:
Marco.
The sun has been known to shine a couple of times today.
Been a nice afternoon. A bit close for my liking but ok.
To be warmer over weekend
It seems to have got steadily warmer all day here. It's a comfortable 21.4c in my living room, humidity is 65%
28C in my 'den' at the moment.
