Typical I've just put Lola out and the sun's gone behind clouds! Bloomin' British weather!
Good afternoon Lyn, how are you back there?

True: the weather is something very annoying in Britain; I agree with you. But...you come and try the DRY, DESERT climate, with a heat wave. Goodness.... temperature has reached a maximum of 40 degrees Celcius in Amman! I've a feeling it has reached 45 degrees C-it's incredibly hot.

i was thinkin the same thing today! called the mrs from work to pick up a bbq and we could sit out with fido... and suns away and temps dropped back down to 17C :(
I've made Lola a little sun room over his grassy area by arching a big clear acrylic sheet between a wall and some tent pegs so it gets quite toasty in there and is out of the wind, he wanders in and out and seems to like it but I know the uv rays aren't as good in there . The forecast for tomorrow is heavy rain again and next week is showery. It wouldn't have bothered me in 2014 BT (Before Tort) as I don't really like hot weather but it would be nice just to have a whole day of warm sunshine for him to enjoy!

Hi Gillian I think something in between the two climates would be wonderful - not too hot or cold and some rain in the night. That would suit everyone I think.
Hope you and Oli are well

BT , i love it! we are in a 4th floor flat in town center or 'the penthouse' as i like to call it lol. gettin out to the small bit of grass we got isnt too easy... got a kind of sun emery kit though, i'll snap a pic..

we've got the tort table at a window that floods with sunlight, plexi on top as well but fido still enjoys having a 're charge' (basking) when he gets the chance. your tort conservartory sounds awesome! fantastic idea

lots of points.
light travels a 186,00 miles pe second in a vacuum,however, it travels through sodium at -270 degrees at 38 mph.
So you could beat it on a bike.
Now, REALLY!!! That seems pretty obscure to me!!! ;) ...and Lyn STILL got it right!!! She should move to the head of the class!!!! :p
