I'm sure that we've all had the oppressing hot weather over the past few days. It's been unbearable at times. Late yesterday afternoon the heaven's opened and we had torrential rain for all of five minutes, after that it got even hotter. This morning started off cool but it's now getting hotter. It's sports day for the younger children at school this morning, I have said that I won't be in.

Ooh, been a bit unbearable over here too Trisha, very hot yesterday, I just gave in and did something that I try not to do……………….watched tv, I watched Glastonbury which was absolutely amazing 🤩
My kids have been at Glastonbury - looking forward to hearing how it went for them (and hoping they used suncream!). Elton John's performance was amazing, the guy still has it!
My dog hasn't been well over the weekend, sickness & lethargy etc - I ended up at the vet this morning who checked him over and reckons it's gastro-enteritis - I am sure the weather hasn't helped because even though I've been only walking him once a day at 6 or 7am, it's been so hot during the day that he's found it hard to settle comfortably.
I hate to complain about the heat, as it was a long and cold Winter and I was glad to see the back of it, but yesterday our back garden was hotter than Palm Beach (at 29 degrees) and that's just ridiculous.
Poor little guy, Jax, animals find it just as difficult as us in the heat. Hope his ailment gets better soon and your kids enjoyed Glastonbury - we have Latitude here soon so the traffic will be chaotic around these parts.
I've been gardening but only in the morning, you all know how I hate the heat so.. phww, roll on autumn
Good call Jazzy, watch the TV and keep still
There is a lot to be said for being part of a group, and the support and friendship that is gained from this.
1971 Bellatrix! I was 10 years old so far too young to have known what it was, but those pictures are fab - the weather must've been good that year too (hope the motorbike seat wasn't too hot )
Dog still under the weather, OH & I are due to go to a festival on Saturday in London where Blondie, Iggy Pop and Generation Sex are playing, but unfortunately the kennels won't be able to take him as he's not well so OH will be going with our son .... gutted to miss it, but just unlucky timing.
Oh Jax, shame you had to miss out - hope the pooch has picked up. Their systems don't always cope with the heat plus there is blue green algae on lots of waterways and many dogs around here have been sick after swimming.
OH & son enjoyed the gig - it was in Crystal Palace Park in London and apparently the toilets were hideous, so they reckon that would have stifled my enjoyment of the music anyway (probably right!)
