I'm glad there were no sea monsters.
I love cherries - particularly M&S ones.
In the Eden thread then the BB one but I'll pop back at adverts.
You still in the shower, Summer?
Lol I'm finished now yogi 
how's bb tonight?
I think I've got a problem- watering 1 flower bed turned into "I'll just trim that bit of the Rose"... I've pruned that and the little Jasmine (which is doing wonderfully) and then "I'll get the florist wire out and just support that little stem"...
It got dark and the fairy lights came on, and I was still out there lol

Good morning everyone, I hope it doesn't get too hot for you EL, I think you are the furthest South East of us all. I don't know about temperatures in other parts, it is already 22° in one of the cooler parts of the house in the morning. I have set a cooler going in my bedroom - a fan that blows over water to cool down - first time I have used one in several years. That looks a delicious ice cream cake
Enjoy your day everyone

*drools*
Squiggle, it looks as if it will be myself or Moonie who is in the hottest place (and my brother of course). Although the record was broken in 2003, from 3 August 1990 to then, the record for the highest recorded temperature in the UK was at Cheltenham 37.1C. So the forecast for today is 4C lower than that.
Yesterday I arranged with a client to meet them where they live next Monday. The options were then or this afternoon and I didn't want to be driving in the hot conditions. And in direct sunlight like today the road temperature is a lot higher than the air temperature and it's possible that in some places tarmac could become soft.
Good morning everyone.
Weather is warm and sunny.
Love the ice cream cake, El.
Have a good day everyone.
A King Penguin taking a shower at Birdland to keep cool:

They are also getting special ice lollies. They don't say what flavour but I'm not sure I would want to try a fish flavour one
An acquired taste I would think EL - one I certainly do not wish to acquire!
A proper hello this time I got interrupted this morning. Hope you're all keeping cool & hydrated, it's very hot here!
~Sweet Summer~ posted:A proper hello this time
Hello Summer It's very hot here and getting hotter. I'm keeping as cool as possible and am drinking more water to keep hydrated. I hope Moonie is OK as it could be just as hot for him.
It's 84° now (in old money) I hope you're OK Moonie
Afternoon all.
It's very warm up here too. I'm indoors, in the shade.
Me too Yogi, curtain drawn to keep out the sun - check - fan on - check, still too hot!

I still have the fan on me.
PB and BB day tomorrow.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet and Ros
Hugs for Summer, in case she night owls.
*night owls* sorry I'm late today, I've been painting some of the garden fence tonight. Bramble being the nosy bear that she is, now has a spot of willow green paint on her nose 
It's the first time ever that I've done laundry after work and it's all still dried outside!
It's been 32 degrees here, and even I found it hard work. I hope you've all had a reprieve this evening, keep those fans going
yogi I hope you have a wonderful day with the little ones tomorrow 
sweet dreams to all who have gone to bed and an extra hug for moonie
night yogi summer velvet
Good morning everyone
I hope all of you got a full night's sleep last night. If not, then tonight should be not such a sticky night.
It's still very warm here but by the evenng it's forecast to be 5C lower than last night.
Yogi, I hope you have a good day with PB and BB
Summer, I'm sure Bramble looks very cute with her green nose
I hope everyone has a good day
the driver must have reversed up that sloped wall- Oops!
Good morning all I hope you slept well and weren't too hot during the night.
I've got a dentist check up today, and then I'm going to helping a friend to take control of her garden. She's a bit overwhelmed with life lately and doesn't quite know where to start with her backlog of jobs. Hopefully I can help her make a start and motivate her to take small steady steps towards an achievable goal
Good morning everyone, cooler and fresher here thank goodness. As I settled down to sleep last night the temperature in the bedroom was 77°! Needless to say I woke up about 2 and was awake for a couple of hours. I hope you all managed better than me.
Good for you Summer, I am sure it will make such a difference having a friend like you helping to get things straightened out. Goodness what a pickle that car got in. It reminds me of something I had forgotten until now, when we were house hunting we went to look at one that had a short hilly drive with a turn at the top, walls either side. Well it was OK going in but a nightmare to reverse out of, luckily the lady who lived there guided me out again.
Out to lunch today with a friend and then she's coming back to mine and we are going to watch 'Left Behind' together and then she's keen to watch a DVD I have made of a pastor I have recently discovered who is absolutely brilliant. He preaches in Knoxville Tennessee, lucky people who live in that area but still those of us less fortunate can still listen to his wise words through the magic of the internet.
Enjoy your day everyone
What an amazing cloud picture
Squiggle, the temperature in my bedroom was 83š 
The temperature here is only starting to drop mid evening so hopefully it will be a bit cooler for me tonight.
There are at least 2 versions of Left Behind, the more recent film version one which stars Nicholas Cage and a smaller scale one made in 2000 which has Brad Johnson (in the Cage role) and Kirk Cameron. The second one has a sequel.
That's an extraordinary cloud picture
Just arrived in Kent after a short run through the tunnel. It was hot and sunny in Brussels/France. But it seems dull around Ashford. Mother said it was raining in North Yorkshire.

The most famous musical prodigy was Mozart. He had composed 5 symphonies by her age and a lot more other work compared to her but all the same she's quite remarkable.
I made that post last November. Alma Deutscher was on The One Show yesterday evening.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/e...he-one-show-19072016
It starts at 24 minutes in.
BBC posted this video clip on tips on keeping cool in hot weather but didn't do it until 6.30pm yesterday evening.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36840084
I wonder just how many of us go and open the windows all day long hoping that helps. The clip advises doing that only when the outside temperature is less than inside so typically early morning, everning and overnight.
