We stay out the sun GH and get the parasols up, we learnt our lesson in the Canaries islands years ago.
Clouds breaking up now, really warm.

The forecasters got the forecast wrong for this area again, maybe if he spent more time reading the forecast than goofing about, he might get it right   
You have a nice day too, GH. Wife's cooking a Isle of Bute roast beef dinner  , smells lovely, MCCanns roast jacket tatties and sweet corn.
Have a nice day.

Well Boaby slab laying started in fine rain and now it's got a bit too heavy to keep bailing the mortar back in to the joints! Soaked through and with ruined/ knackered lower back , I can almost feel the arthritis coming on..... what happened to the promised sum or is that the weekend?

Have you the same duff forecasters we have Kaspian, used to watch " Heather with the weather" back in the day.
If you've finished laying slabs, have a wee half ( medicinal purposes mind) get in the shower with a can and relax.
It's starting to dry up now, very mild, settling down for awhile after our roast beef dinner.

Mild night, cooler on the sea front, nice sunrise, dozens of gulls.
In for another nice day.
You can finish your slabs now Kaspian.

We’re in Kent and 30 yesterday and hotter today, not used to it. 27 year old Landrover with big van on the back on a 300 mile tug was fun yesterday, NOT. Aircon stopped whenever we did lol.

You don't have to go that far away JT, it's roasting up here too!  , roads very busy from early this morning, trippers started early this morning.
I'm washing my paint brushes and that's it, take care you two on the way back.

Beer fridge is stocked with San Miquel and Irn Bru Tony, bags on ice in the freezer, fresh Bute fillets coming this morning (RMSD) , slightly cooler on the coast, nice.

A nice walk early this morning with the sun not long up ,it’s a scorcher here on the east coast with just a slight breeze

I've got to keep checking because somebody keeps sneaking bottles of Prosecco and cider into my beer fridge

Roasting outside now, might need a bit of factor 30 on my nut

Fillets,along with Bute lamb arrived before noon, we have our parasols out , so no need for sun cream plus it's cooler here on the coast, I'm not a sun bather Tony.
Have a nice afternoon before the rain comes,again.
Boaby

Well, was that a lightning show or what, !! Thunder claps over the bungalow and rain,did it rain.
Haven't seen a thunderstorm like it since we left Bute.
Cool this morning, very wet grass,wellies on , tripping over frogs in the back garden ( heading for the pond)
Have a nice day

It's clear as a bell here Chris, you must be a sound sleeper, you must have missed the big stuff.
Enjoy your pork butties.

I think the few pints of cider may have helped Boaby

Not a cloud in the sky over this side this morning. Hardly a breath of wind too. Sitting with the door open I can hear the trains heading up and down the WCML about a mile west and the occasional airliner climbing away from Manchester heading south towards the sun spots of the Med. Nowhere near as many as previous years. Not much, belay that, no birdsong at all and not a whisper from the M6, just a mile to the east.

Late yesterday afternoon and into the evening we got high cloud and the odd spot of rain, but no thunder, lightning or downpour at all.

Warm already this morning. Muttly wouldn’t walk yesterday I think it was too warm for him. He spent the day on the floor in the dinning room. I will leave walking him today. 
Perhaps if it’s like this tomorrow we might have a drive out and have a picnic some were.

Heard some thunder in the distance last night, just got the BBQ finished as the heavy rain started around 6pm Dry and bright today but much cooler than yesterday.

Nice and cool at dawn Dave, ideal dog walking time.       Our Tag loves the cool ground and fresh air.

It hit around 9 last night with a tremendous dump on rain, then the thunderstorm started., it was so close it must have taken out something.

Cooler northerly breeze this morning,light shower at 5.30, nice rainbow.
Gulls and Doos, making a din this morning.thats it
Have a nice day.

We've had rain overnight, but I woke to blue skies. However mid first cuppa and it had clouded over. I've just finished that tea and we're back to not a cloud in the sky. The 7.15 Ryanair 737 to Majorca has just grumbled over, climbing out of Manc at 18,000ft. The odd yap and snaffle from magpies is the only bird noise.

Nice fresh coastal breeze, only air traffic is the wee single screw parachute airframe from local airfield,noticed the social distancing when they free fall.
Showers forecasted for later.
