I like it around 30 but any higher, particularly 35 and above, it is indoor weather as far as I am concerned Caroline.

I don’t like the humidity that sometimes comes with higher temps either. Dry heat is easier to withstand, I think.

What kind of heat do you get Caroline?

Thinking of you all in that heat, at least I have AC. Try and keep cool and out of the sun at least for Mid day.

Morning Von and Maddie. <3 :-D

That could turn nasty quickly Von with the fire jumping across treetops. :-(

Maddie, Gnddtr got dropped off in north London by her partner when he went to work then she walked home (Putney) taking pics as she did so. She, like our Dtr, is keen on photography. <3 <3

Morning Fly, Belle and Joy :-D <3 <3 <3

How lovely your daughter can visit Pat <3

London has some beautiful parks Joy. The Italian Garden and the Rose Garden in Regents Park. The Fountains in Kensington Gardens are particular favourites of ours. We have loads of piccies of the kids at those locations.

I was determined to heducate them, doncha know. ;-) ;-)

Pat enjoy your visit from daughter. Special times <3 <3

Morning Joy :-D <3

My grass isn’t very green but hey ho the moss will grow again. Still lots of little wild flowers struggling to come through though.

There is a fire in Yosemite national park :-(

Yes Joy, the airfield where the fire planes take off from is near here so most times we are aware of the fire but not where. The helicopters with their buckets slung underneath them is also an indication.

Idiots still throw cigarettes out of their cars though. :-S

Gnddtr sending me some lovely pics of one of central London gardens this am. <3

Weather and gardens look grand.

I expect everyone watches out for small ‘grass’ fires Pat. It only takes a piece of broken glass sometimes. We got used to keeping our eyes open before anything spread - but it still happened, almost every summer. :-(

Good news Joy <3

Gndson 2 on his way home. <3 :-D

Hay collected sometime ago Joy. The waste ground areas of towns and villages have all the weeds and grass chopped down and it soon dries to stubble.

Wot; no making hay while the sun shines! ;-)

Parched earth, Pat. I remember living with that for several years. :-(

Thank you Joy<3


Problem obtaining grass skirts no grass here this time of the year :-0

Grass skirts at the ready then, Pat. ;-) :-D

I hope you enjoy your time together, <3

Coming here Joy :-D :-D :-D :-D

and we is exotic ;-) :-D :-D

Ann wants to know, is she visiting you, Pat, is she going somewhere exotic or is it a work trip? ;-) :-D

Daughter's flight has been altered from take off 07.30 to 06.00 :-S


Heaven knows what time they have to leave home :-0

Afternoon Joy :-D :-D <3 <3

Morning everyone. <3 :-D

It seems to have cooled down from what it was like overnight here. :-S

Gndson 2’s dog loves ice cubes. You can’t go the freezer without him sitting next to you with his tail going 50 to the dozen. <3

Hope you are all putting your sunscreen on at least 15 minutes before going out and some manufacturers say 30 minutes before going out in the sun. It takes time for it to activate.
