I suppose this is typical uk weather at the moment. There’s a heat wave forecast today but it was muggy last night at some early hour when my aches got the better of me. Just a drop of emulsion on the bathroom ceiling she said yesterday afternoon.
This morning it’s a cool misty overcast start with lots of spiders webs across the paths on our walk. Today is a not involved day so once I have been to see my nice foot lady, Rosie, I can decide what to not do. Management did suggest I did the bathroom ceiling today whist she is at the frock fitting but my logic was get it done whilst it’s a cooler day yesterday.
I might walk up to the cake shop and get myself a salad box for lunch. They have proper thick roast ham in them.

Bumbling back up France towards Roscoff, still in the 30's, a little cooler will be welcome now. Bet I won't be saying that in November.
Just met a Welsh gentleman in an Autotrail, if that wasn't bad enough he has been rear ended on his first day in France. All rear panel around the lights has disappeared and it is now down to a hire car. Insured with CAMC who seem to be doing well with the problem. No quick repair for that van.
Take care all

Morning Boaby,

It's a pleasant 13 degrees here with light cloud and blue sky peeping through. Forecast is for it to cloud over but stay quite warm.

by Bilbobaggins Thu Sep 07, 2023 7:43 am

Cloudy and a pleasant 15 degrees at present, cloud didn't break up at all yesterday. Forecast sunny and 23 today with 25 over weekend, I believe that qualifies as heat wave this far north

by Askit Thu Sep 07, 2023 8:28 am

It was lunchtime before the sun got through the cloud yesterday, it became very humid. Bit more cloud today, forecast is for 26°c but with the chance of showers which may be thundery. Shopping day for us so I feel a moan about fuel prices coming on snigger

Take care if you're on the road, enjoy it wherever you folks are up to.

25 here, sun still not shown its face but its oppressive its so humid. Just washed the car, brown slurry running down with the sand, sweated buckets. Not looked at the van, hoping it will rain and wash it off.

by Askit Thu Sep 07, 2023 5:56 pm

Up to 26°c here, we had the sun but it's become hazy and extremely humid. Just got to struggle out with the wheelie bins for tomorrow's collection.

in a Corsa going through a red light. On the plus side I got a chance to try out my emergency stop biggrin

Keep safe folks

Bit misty this morning but a pleasant temperature around the 15 degree mark. Wee trip to the vet this morning to get the hound's claws clipped and then shopping.

Hopefully it will stay misty so I can't see the what todays daily rise in fuel price is.

by Dave 418 Fri Sep 08, 2023 10:30 am

Its certainly been changeable here. Yesterday afternoon was too hot to be in the workshop for long after lunch. This morning its back to misty and sticky with lots of spiders webs on the bushes.
More little things to do today. Prescriptions to pick up first. Next dinners for muttly followed by a top up shop. We will have to start thinking about buying special things for sister in laws visit. She is none dairy and only eats certain things. Last we heard she had an allergy to cornflakes and can only eat rice bubbles with her breakfast. This Ausie ex Welsh pom is weird.

by burlingtonboaby Fri Sep 08, 2023 11:33 am

Thick fret/har earlier,now roasting hot again, nice cool breeze makes working outside bearable.
Have a nice day.

Gonna be hot here in East Germany again today. Heading for a beach town, Kuhlungsborn with a site so chores can be addressed.
Forecast remains same, so glad for auto watering of the veg plot and cucumber back home...

When in Germany, in RAF days, lunch was compulsory Currywurst mit pommers, so had to do that yesterday, could be solution for Dave....
