    it's great isn't it? I can finally go to nice places in nice weather without hordes of other people being there!

    I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

    I hate hot weather but at least by this time of year the days are starting to get shorter.

    I've been stuck at home this week with Covid and fortunately it wasn't too hot.  Looking forward to going back to the air-conditioned office this week now the temperature's going up.

    Is 'a week on the lizard' like being 'on the lash'  or 'on the job'?

    One of the things I miss most about living in England here in the US is the fact that England doesn't actually have any weather! At least none worth talking about, and maybe that's why British people have a reputation for talking about it so much. Here in the US, people in the media and politics are always banging on about 'the community'; people tend to wax lyrical about the things they don't have! 

    Here in Miami, we're in the throes of hurricane season, with the west coast having just taken a battering from Hurricane Idalia. Other parts of the country can be laid waste by fires, ransacked by tornadoes, or plunged into feet-deep snow that brings areas to a standstill. Weather can change people's lives for the worse here. It's a big plus when the worst you can get is that it's a bit parky or a bit hot, although I suppose the heat has upped a bit over the last twenty years or so.

    Lovely- all kids and tourists are back to school/work and I can finally go out to fave spots.
    I live in Christchurch/Bournemouth and it's Beautiful corner of the world, but every "summer" weekend or Bank Holiday is when you stay in your garden and try to avoid going absolutely anywhere, whether it's any of the beaches or New Forest. 
    We just wrapped up Bournemouth Air Festival which just adds to the "fun".

    Same here. Who wants sleepless nights, the inability to work efficiently (at work), sweating all day. Don’t get me wrong, I like a sunny day as much as any other human being but temps in the 30’s? No thank you.

    Get well soon.

    On the train on the way down to Devon for a few days. If the weather holds it should be glorious. Even if it's not, it's having a break that's the important thing, been working my nuts off for the last six months since I last had a week.

    A couple of weeks ago it was so cold I actually switched on the heater in my den to warm it up.  Today I'm up there with the window wide open and it's still frackin' sweltering!

    I love sunny weather but I'm not a fan of 30 deg heat in this country.  Mid-20s max is enough for me.

    On Thursday I had to use an electric radiator for the first time in about 3 months in my converted garage. But now its not needed as its so hot now. Weird how the weather changes in the space of a day or two.

    I had the heating on in my office last week - it was 16C of a morning.

    I’m in Spain until Wednesday and it’s crazy hot - today it’s 30 degrees but muggy as hell with no breeze . I’m looking forward to coming home to a late British summer tbh

    In the middle of a kitchen extension/refit and we’re without a fridge, freezer and kitchen sink all week. At least the plaster has dried now, Saturday was just a bit humid in our house!

    I've just been off for 2 weeks.  Had loads of external jobs I needed to do  with the house and garden and was also hoping for some dry days to be able to take my old Mum out for some nice day runs.  It's been nothing but pissy wet weather interspersed by waves of torrential rain.  The moss is thick and green everywhere I look.  Started back at work last night and suddenly the weather gets nice, warm and dry.  At least I managed to get the grass cut and spray weed killer on the 12" high weeds I was unable to treat while it was crap wet weather.  I took a risk and hung a guitar body outside to swing in the slight breeze and catch as much sun as possible all day to help harden the finish while I slept today.  Amazing the difference that makes to the speed of hardening the finish.

    Just took the dogs out for a walk at 0130. Poor little mites are sweltering in the house but I’ve put a fan on them. Another reason I don’t like this weather.

    32C (allegedly, we’ll see if it gets there) in September for 2-3 days is a nice little summer farewell before everything’s wet & grey for 8 months.

    You know it's hot out there when you turn on the cold water and hot water comes out.
