Yeah, it's not usually hot. I'm in England so it's usually raining o_O
Spud is happy though :)

Good evening.:tort: Spud is looking gorgeous!

Oh, I was watching TV moments ago and they mentioned that temperature reached 35 degrees C in some parts of England; which sounds incredible.:) You people must have enjoyed the sun today.:D

I know. And very unusual isn't it? Here, it's always HOT, very HOT June, July, August and sometimes even September.:) The CCD (Civil Defence Dept) cautions: "Don't leave home whilst the sun is striking unless necessary." You guys on the other hand, can't wait for the sun to appear. ;)

We have all the health warnings for the heat too. It may not be as hot as you have, but we aren't used to it. Last week I was wrapped up in my coat and jeans trying to stay warm in windy rain. The sudden change is not easy for some to cope with.

Oh, I know what you mean as far as the sudden change in weather is concerned. We experience it each and every year when we move from Summer to Winter and vice versa.The "trouble" with the climate here is that we have EXTREMELY HOT Summer, and on the other hand FREEZING COLD Winter, with rain, hail and even....SNOW! Some people in Europe and U.S.A do not believe it snows here; which I can understand.

Well I wasn't out in it very much. I'm not good with heat and the pavement was burning my feet :p I had to go out every hour or so to spray Spuds enclosure though. The water from the hose was boiling... I mean it actually burned me so I had to jump around on hot pavement until it cooled down lol! Then the hose broke and it sprayed at me! This is why I stay indoors :p

I did jump into the paddling pool a couple of times though. :D

all going well, i will be having a beer in spain with mr adam next week!! :D
That's too cool.
It's a shame how many miles separate some of us.
But, anything is possible....
Lyn passed by no more than 10 miles from me once...

It's been great, as usual, cat thing up with all the goings on in the CDR. Shame you didn't get to your target number but it wasn't for want of trying on your part. Fun and laughter all the way. Thank you for the party
Pleasure, thanks for attending, though as you are now officially a Cold Dark Roomer, there really isn't any escape!

I don't know of your situation. But sure do hope all the best for you in whatever it is your going through.
Take care of yourself. Check in when you can. There's of course always an empty spot on this forum when your not able to post. Good thoughts and healing hugs for you.:)
What a lovely post, Barbara.:)

Good morning CDR. I'm back home after my trip up north where the internet was poor and the mobile phone signal non-existent.

We had a lovely time up on the moors and out on the Farne Islands and then arrive back to weather where you'd expect to be listening to cicadas.

My friend who has a Guinea Pig rescue puts frozen bottles of water wrapped in pillowcases in the animal enclosures so they can keep cool.

Joe retreated to the shade by 11am yesterday - lightweight! I cut the lawn at 7am to avoid him this morning :D
Glad you had a nice time.
Poor Tidgy's struggling in the heat right now, too.:(
