It's such a perfect day...

I just had the sort of day that this song was made for...hope everyone else has had a perfect day too. x

by Ben Reilly Thu Jun 27, 2019 10:44 pm

It's actually been a perfect day for me as well! Have to say, I've enjoyed the shit out of this day. It started fantastic (eh edds?) and just kept going.

Aww, thats nice, I'm so happy you and Eds enjoyed today too....and at last you are seeing what a beautiful little old country we have here when the sun really shines. sunny

I'm here to say the English sun can burn you just like the Texan sun can, but man, it was gorgeous. A friend asked if the weather felt hot to me as a Texan, and I had to admit, in Texas, the weather we had would be considered perfect. And we'd have had it in late March as well Cool

by Syl Thu Jun 27, 2019 10:55 pm

We dont get that many, but I think when we do get a gorgeous day like today (and the next few days too fingers crossed) there is nowhere on Gods green earth nicer.
I may be biased though. Cool

Share that with the people you love....bliss. I love you

I’m working Saturday on a really hot day. That sucks.

I had a nice day too, it was my day off (that’s why I’m working Saturday) and I got to watch my daughter at her school sports day. She had a great time, especially with the boxing class...got to say, she seemed to enjoy learning how to do uppercuts.

She’s gonna beat her older brother’s arse now.

Hahaha....good for her.

I am so HAPPY everyone has had a good day....seriously, it was one of those good to be alive days, the ones that cost nothing but stay in the memory for ever.

I have had a few wines now and I think I am talkibg rubbish, so I am off to watch TV for a bit. x

Well, you did spell “talking” wrong...so...I’d say you’ve had a few too many wines. Neutral

I had a great day and had the day off. Which i should have spent sleeping, as I have not been able to sleep properly the last couple of nights. Had about a couple of hours at most. So that really is a cue for me, to get my arse off to bed.

Night everyone,

Night everyone,

Yeah, Ben and I can get like that when we are together, then we need to catch up on sleep badly. Lack of sleep sucks.

Hope you sleep well.

Can you take a photograph tonight and post it Quill? There is nothing more beautiful than a perfect sunset.

We have paid good money in places like Santorini to go on sunset cruises, or sat in remote restaurants somewhere abroad which boast of the most beautiful sunsets, but to be absolutely honest, the best ones we have seen have been in our own kitchen, sat at our own kitchen table. Razz

I have taken some pics but they never do the real thing justice.

34°C == nice balmy spring day...

They were predicting some parts of Europe could hit 45°C this week ?

Those Europeans won't know what hit them -- they could think they're in Texas (or Oz in January/February..) !

I am sitting in my back garden, sunshine and light cloud, 23c, buzzards swirling overhead, having a tasty lunch and quaffing ice cold white zinfandel.

In my breaking news reporter and sports editor/photographer days, I would sometimes have to work three, four hours outdoors when it was 40C/104F. Yes, it was hard and yes, I sweat through my clothes, but THAT'S hot to me, not days when it doesn't even reach 80F.
