I'm not saying it's hot but just had a hobbit appear at the door and throw a ring into the room

Actually quite nice here, just done a couple of miles walk round the river but it's getting hotter

Since the arrival of my granddaughter my modelling room was turned into her bedroom, I now model in my loft. Everyone knows that heat rises, so at the moment I’m modelling in a sauna Ha Ha.

Went in the loft at 07.30 for about 45mins i bought the thermometer down and put in on my back yard ,i live in a terraced house so me and neighbours yard form a sun trap but it becomes an oven in a heatwave at 1pm it was 41 degrees

Got a couple of bits that need priming, but I fear it might dry instantly on the airbrush tip.
Took the car for an MOT today, told them I'd wait and no rush.
Refreshments, air con and toilets in the Toyota dealers where I take it and all good, it sailed through.
Car display showed 31C when I drove home at about 12.45, gets hot here in Cambridgeshire

A year on and exactly the same again, passed and 31c, talk about deja vu

You and me both. Afternoons are an absolute write off, just too hot to do anything.

Tried doing some detail painting on my PT boat this morning. By about 10 o'clock the paint was simply drying far too quickly even with retarder mixed into it. Thought I would change and do some work on a BookNook I have on the go. Just too hot - sweaty paws and uncomfortable sitting on the chair. Gave up and came down for a drink.
Oh for cooler times

I hate times like this ,i was a teen in '76 and i remember 'up chuckin' with heat stroke and i was sat on a chair in my nans pantry . Then around covid time we had that 40 degree day i was working then and parts of the building had air con.
I thinking of ways to manage the heat in my house cos my front room cooks fron about 2pm when the sun comes round even with blinds and curtains shut.
I nipped into the loft at 10.30 just to get something and it was evil up there . I have thought about a portable air unit but its how and where to vent it.

Anyway enough of me moaning ,stay cool and stay safe everyone

I have been getting up at five, cool shower then getting a few bits done whilst its still a pleasant temperature.
All the windows open to air the house before shutting up shop when the sun comes out.
Afternoon is siesta time, Shark fan on full and hopefully a couple of hours kip.
Then about five pm its cold beers from the bottle, missus has 0% and we do the Guardian quick crossword.
Only drinking the lighter strength stuff like Modelo and original Heineken, nice and refreshing.
Chouffe and Duvel are a bit too strong when its this hot and they need to be sipped from a tulip glass.

Sounds like you have it wrapped up nicely
