The Chill Out Zone

[stevestrat]

I started pottering in the garden earlier, had to come in, too hot. Just checked the thermometer on the wall in the side garden, 33 degrees

16:25 update:

Getting stupidly hot out there now, thermometer on the wall is showing just under 36 degrees!



Antifreeze update: in the roughly 17 hours since it left London it has got as far as Gatwick, processed there at 13:41 and its still there . . . . still showing to be delivered by the end of today! Unless DHL has a cargo version of the Typhoon fighter jet and intend dropping it by parachute I don't think so

It was 25.5C coming back from Bolton at dinner time, I've just been washing the conservatory roof with soap & water to get rid of the mortar & cement splashes from yesterdays roofing job, I'm absolutely fried. That's me done now with a nice cold beer.

Oooo! Bank holiday weekend & a parcel at Gatwick! you'll have to call batman or something.

Just had a thoroughly sensible food-shopping afternoon. SWMBO and my sister wandered around Morrisons, Iceland and Aldi - while I stood in each shop, admiring the contents of the chiller section - lovely and fresh it was

ANOTHER healthy salad today for tea - Quiche Angela (missus' version of Lorraine!) and various green things, peppers and some rather hot Thai curry rice crisps - all washed down by an ice-cold bottle of Thatchers Old Rascal cider. To finish - a rather large slice of water melon which has been in the fridge since yesterday.
Forecast for teatime tomorrow for this area - torrential downpours, thunderstorms and hail, leading to flash flooding

I don't mind a salad Ian - as long as there's a bit of meat involved somewhere down the line. Just to hedge my bets, in case it turns cold over the weekend, I bought a couple of Pukka Pies in Morrisons - special offer at a quid apiece

I have to agree - when it's as humid as it is, eating is no longer such a pleasurable thing as a hot stew is in the middle of Winter

- on the other hand, flashing - now that's a different story !

Since that Richard has been in here, you've all changed! He is a bad influence and a pervert!

On that note, Nite all! Up at silly am tomorrow! Got a lay in on Sunday, not at work until just past six am! 😊
