    We had a 15 cu-ft freezer and a 22 cu-ft freezer and we just retired the smaller one. My sons have several large freezers as they still have families to feed. We also have the small freezers that are attached to refrigerators as well. This was the first tiem we retrieved a moose in warm weather and daylight. Most of the time it is dark and very cold.

    26 degrees here ( approx 78 F)... and sunny...

    Just been refilling the bird feeders, the blue tits and sparrows just can't eat them fast enough, and the bigger birds, the collared doves and wood pigeons, swoop in to get the dropping of the shells from the ground!!


    Daughter says it's currently 96 deg in Malaga...


    yesterday I got a lot done in the house, ll those little jobs that are always waiting to be done too...

    Have a good Thursday folks... good-morning-roses.jpg

    The weather has finally returned to normal--it was 53 F. (~12 C.) this morning with something overhead--the weather people say it is smoke, but it looks like clouds. The mosquitoes have come out in droves. Wife is doing pickles and stuff. I put a coat of roof stuff on the equipment shed yesterday. It appears things are returning to normal, but no rain yet. Have a good Thursday!

    Morning all...

    It's an absolutely glorious morning, not a cloud in the sky and temps set to be around 90 deg f...

    yesterday hubs had the day off and we visited an Air museum, which is situated inside a Hanger, and also has a smattering of vintage vehicles and outside has some beautiful gardens attached... lovely day....

    Today hubs is back at work, and although I'm a little sore after yesterdays' jaunts so I may go out to have a drink with my oldest friend Jen, and enjoy the sun and take more photos...


    here's some photos from the garden yesterday ( I've reduced these for the forum)..later when I get more time, I'll post the planes etc

    Good Morning peoples...

    It was soo hot yesterday, and high humidity too.. it was inevitable that we had a huge and very loud thunderstorm during the night.

    Sunny this morning, high of up to 90 predicted for today.. but with possible cloud this afternoon... I hate heat and cloud, if it's going to be hot let there be Sunshine...

    Another couple of pictures from the air museum

    Rain!!! We are receiving our first rain in over a month. It began last evening and continues. This will dramatically reduce the wildfire danger and give us a rest from watering lawns and gardens...although it WILL bring our the slugs that have been dormant during the drought. Wife is canning pickles every other day now, as the grandchildren adore grandma's pickles.

    We had a HUGE lightening and thunderstorm during the early hours of this morning, the loudest and most specracular anyone's seen in years. Sadly it didn't brak the heat, by the time I went into the garden at 8am it was already hot and everything but the garden chair pads were already dry and hot...

    100 Degrees forecast for tomorrow.... :eek:

    Where do you live. I looked at London's forecast and it is having one 30C plus day this week.. the rest mid 20sC. Same with Southampton where the cricket has been played this week .. France on the other hand is sweltering.. saying it may be their hottest summer ever. Mid winter here in Sydney.. 20-22C all this week.

    Britain is braced for what may prove to be its hottest day in history today, with temperatures forecast to climb as high as 102F (39C) on what is being dubbed 'Tropical Thursday'.

    The scorching conditions could trigger thunderstorms - which could mean travel delays, flash flooding, and even power cuts - and rail bosses plan to slow trains amid fears of tracks buckling as the metal heats up to 122F (50C).

    Warnings were issued over the dangers of cooling off in lakes, rivers and the sea yesterday after the bodies of three people were pulled from the water following reports they reportedly got into difficulty swimming.

    A yellow weather warning is in force for most of England, except the south-west, and parts of Scotland from 3pm on Thursday until 4am on Friday.

    According to the Met Office, there is a 60 per cent chance today will break the all-time UK temperature record of 38.5C.

    Then your two day heatwave is set to end (see below).:( That is more like the usual English summer.:p So no need to race out and buy an air conditioner.. I do hope the heatwave returns for the Ashes tho as we Aussies play better when we have sun on our backs.;)

    All absolutely wrong...it's been 90 degrees most of the week and full sun..yesterday we had the hottest July in history at 101.4 degrees.. believe me I was out in it as were all these people.. except I stayed well away from the crowded beaches... !! Trains were cancelled because lines were buckled, tarmac melted....

    Wherever your getting your info from you should change it.. it couldn't be more wrong!!
    however this morning, the heat is broken after a thunderstorm last night and again this morning, and it's raining, and gonna be around 80 deg today!!

    for someone who lives the other side of the world, you seem to think you know more than us, who live here, very amusing!!... believe me AC is much needed at 100 degrees with high humidity and without tower fans or AC this would have been hell!!... !!

    Good Morning everyone...

    It's raining this morning and altho' the heat has dropped by about 20 degrees from yesterday it's still verrrry humid. Currently we have a thunderstorm lots of lightening going on but I still have the windows open and the fans running!!

    yesterday we went out to visit a Jacobean house and gardens ..it was 100 degrees.. .. we thought we'd stay in land because so many people would be crowding the beaches, and we were right... hardly anyone at the house and gardens.. just a few sprinkled around taking shade under the trees...


    [​IMG] this is one of glasshouses in the organic kitchen garden located at the old manor house, where they grow peaches, and grapes...

    The rest of the garden is usually beautiful but the weeks of intense heat has made everything look very sorry for itself indeed despite th volunteer gardeners trying their best to keep it up..
