Yogi, I hope you have a nice time with your family visits

Thanks El, it was a lovely family day 

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros.

Night owl hugs.

*night owls* guess which idiot posted in the Darnie thread earlier, thinking it was in here..?  

i hope you're all hydrated and cool, it's been scorching here and is still hot tonight. 

I've kept bramble at home so she can stay cool, and I've used the time to be productive as well as relaxing. I overheated my poor shredder but now have a lovely clear office space and spare room  

sweet dreams all who've gone to bed already  

night yogi and summer

Good morning everyone

Sunny here with the temperature now forecast to get to 30 this afternoon.

Yogi, I'm glad you had a good day with the family

Summer, I hope Bramble is coping in the heat Is your shredder a table top one or a standalone one? I started off with a table top one which just couldn't cope and packed up. I have a Fellowes standalone one now which is a lot sturdier than the one I had.

I hope everyone has a good day and stays hydrated

Good morning scorching here already, I took bramble out earlier in the cooler hours. I saw a baby hedgehog too  

what are you all up to this week? 

It's a table top El, it's perfect for my needs but I overworked it yesterday. I cleared out papers that were 5 years old! 

Summer, I hope it was just a temporary shredder overheat rather than it breaking down.

There used to be a hedghog visiting my garden but I haven't seen or heard anything for some time.

Good morning everyone.

Weather is cloudy and mild atm.

Summer, I'm glad you were able to keep Bramble cool yesterday.

El, I used to get a hedgehog visit my garden but not since we replaced the hedges with fencing - I don't think there are big enough gaps for them to get through. 

Have a good day, everyone.

Yogi, I think hedgehogs must like hedges as their name indicates.

One of those pieces of information which once read, you are unlikely to forget.

Did you know that the French for paperclip is trombone because of the shape:

Good morning everyone, a lovely cool morning with a slight breeze.  I hope everyone managed to sleep OK.  Sounds like you had a productive day Summer.  I haven't seen a hedgehog for years now, our dog Ben used to love to play with them, he was very gentle, but he always picked up fleas from them.

Enjoy your day everyone

I suppose it's the equivalent of pointillism (one of Van Gogh's self portraits from 1887 for instance):

That's incredible, what intricate work! 

The breakdown was temporary, my shredder has a thermometer gage on it so it automatically switches off if it gets too hot. It's a clear out I've been meaning to do for a while but it's not been a top priority, so I'm glad it's done 

That's good, Summer

Moonie, sounds as if your swan family are doing well even though it's rather warm

 

It's was rather warm walking to church and back today.

 

Squiggle, 28 is the maximun forecast here for today, 29 tomorrow is the peak, still hot until Thursday but back to average by Friday.

 

It was a confirmation service in church this morning so a bishop was here for that. He's retired but used to be at Hereford and I remembered him when he presided at a confirmation service here a year ago.. During his address he mentioned Father's Day. It's not like Mother's Day which takes place on Mothering Sunday. Mothering Sunday used to be the day when people returned to their mother church (strictly the one they were baptised at). He mentioned that one could have Fathering Sunday.

They are indeed El

Good morning everyone  

Well, yesterday was hot and today is set be even hotter 

It's not set to get any cooler until the end of the week 

 

I nearly melted yesterday 

I decided not to go up the park until late yesterday, around 8-45pm. It was lovely. The swans and cygnets where feeding away like mad on the pond weed and some food I took for them. There are still 8 cygnets  

Then they retired for the evening on the large island in the large pool 

It's quite shaded and cool there despite the loss of one of the large trees during the storm a couple of weeks ago. 

 

Have a super sunday everyone and and stay hydrated  

Sounds like cygnets are coming along well 

They are looking beautiful, even covered in pond weed

 El what a beautiful piccie and fankoo 

Good afternoon Buddies  

Really hot here again. Cloudy now too, so very humid. Never got much below 17 degrees last night so not much sleep for me 

Keep hydrated and have a good day peeps  

Moonie, it's very warm here too. Last night much the same as you, tonight is forecast to be 2-3 degrees warmer for my area. I'm able to sleep fairly well in hot conditions but I know it's a problem for many. Although I have a thin duvet during the warmer months of the year, I just have a sheet rather than the duvet. It's a cotton sheet which is much better than polyester in hot weather.

By coincidence, Channel 5 have a programme tomorrow at 8 pm "Meet the Hedgehogs" set in a hedgehog A&E centre in Surrey. It's called Amazing Grace and was started by the Brian May who released this to raise money over a year ago:

Hi El

I have just seen on the BBC weather forecast that in the Midlands the temperature is set to stay at 24 degree overnight 

How funny- about the hedgehogs  

it's been the hottest day of the year here, no doubt about it. We're forecast rain tonight but there's none so far.. 

i hope you're all keeping cool

Nope, no point really because all it will do is blow out warm air 

Tis much cooler tonight, thank goodness
