I’m in the purple area and I can tell you it’s hot!!
It’s weird because when I was in Spain last year it was over 40 but didn’t feel as hot as this!!! We are just not equipped to deal with them kind of temperatures. I’m jealous as last week my neighbour had an air con unit installed, I laughed about it thinking what a waste of money in the UK. Well, now I’m not laughing.

I used to have to commute to Holborn tube. The central line is hell at the best of times. I would rather walk than use it today. It is SO hot down there!

I do one stop from Liverpool Street to Bank, and when I get off my clothes are stuck to me. I was told that there is no upper temperature limit for the underground, only a lower temperature limit sounds silly really!

That’s only a 10 minute walk above ground! It probably takes you longer to get out of Bank Station [emoji16]

just checked my trail camera, so here's a little video of the hedgehog visiting

Very neat. Wish we had them here! We have big fat ground hogs that will destroy your gardens!

I’m in the purple zone. It’s damn hot!!!

Good mornooning all. We are expecting record high temperatures today (39C/102F+)

This may not seem hot to some of you, but here in the UK that’s going to cause problems as our infrastructure and homes are not set up for this kind of thing.

The curtains are closed, the windows and doors open for the moment as it is cooler outside than in and I shall be keeping an eye on the fish.

We have tickets for the theatre in London this evening, but the rail company is already warning that trains will be running slowly later on as there’s a risk of the tracks buckling in the heat. We have our fingers crossed that the trains are just slow and don’t end up cancelled.

I was up at 6 to do some chores and gardening before it gets too hot to bother.

Makes a change from trains being cancelled because of leaves on the line!
Have a good time at the theatre .

I'm in the white area - we must be expecting Arctic conditions!

The met office tells us our high will be 27C - with a thunderstorm on the way middayish then cooling to 24C by evening.
Keep your curtains and windows shut to keep the heat out and stay cool everyone!!

@CarolM are you OK?
We miss you!

Haha it does! If it’s early, I’m normally there about 7am then I’ll do the train but if it’s any later I generally walk. On the way home I generally walk as it’s always busy on the train. Then I get the Waterloo and city line to Waterloo which thankfully is only 1 stop!

 

[Ben02]

@CarolM are you OK?
We miss you!

Carol hasn’t been on for a while, I hope everything’s ok with her family and her bowsprit torts.

 

[Ben02]

12pm and it’s currently 37 degrees C or 98 degrees F......... that’s not right!!!

Aquariums are stocked with ice and the torts are hyperactive with this weather.

That’s scary! I hope it becomes less than expected for you! Stay safe and cool! I had never realized before what kind of heat effects are in other parts of the world.

Awwww... cute very different from the ones we see here as pets. He looks right at home!

I am at war with the ground hogs and moles here. They are destroying ALOT! [emoji35]

Good morning all! I hope all of you in the UK find a way to stay comfortable. I too am missing @CarolM. Hoping all is well.

I got the results back from my MRI and it showed a bulging disk in my neck but dr doesn’t think that should account for all of the nerve issues. Wants to do more tests. In the mean time, I’m off this morning to get pumped full of cortisone and then back on my schedule. The irritation is starting to become part of the norm for me.

Happy Thursday!

Bulging disks can do all sorts. I have had personal experience I hope they can sort it out for you
