We were promised a lovely weekend, it was thick cloud and not very warm, but at least it was dry.

I was looking after 2 children, a 5 year old and a 10 year old (sons partners kiddies) for 5 days and 4 nights......I can tell you I am bloody knackered, I have got out of the habit of looking after and entertaining little ones,even gorgeous ones.... I am going to spend the day relaxing in the garden now (Manchester weather permitting)

Ah that sounds lovely albeit tiring. I bet they loved having your company Syl!
You didn’t make them play scrabble did you?

No, though the 10 year old played countdown with us one night.
We went to parks, had a barge ride along the canal, picnic, ate out, fed horses, played ball games, all in all we all acted like kids.

Syl, those simple things are all a child needs.  I really mean that.  You did good.

Never mind, Ben. You also need a knotted handkerchief on your head, a pipe stuck in your mouth and a rolled up copy of The Sun in your back pocket to become a real Englishman in summer.

But today was just one of those days where it feels nicer outside than it does inside. Edds keeps telling me this is not a typical English summer, and that there should be more heat.

Hahahaha you sound like my mother. She’s hates the heat with a passion.

I think it's quite strange how some people like it, and others hate it. We must feel heat differently to each other. I mean, I can't understand why someone would like feeling sweaty, thirsty, faint, and like they were trapped in a sauna.

I don’t really feel the heat too much it’s rather strange. I must have a way of just dealing with it. I don’t sweat either - which isn’t good - but I don’t sit out in it either.
If I’m on holiday I spend most of my time in the water.

Lol, we did that tonight. We went out for a meal but it was unbearably hot and crowded inside, no food served outside, so we only stayed an hour or so.
Came home, sat out drinking coffee and playing tunes, and it started raining. We just sat there, getting wet, watching the bats flying about......it was still over 30c at 10pm.

For me, it's the equivalent of being snowed in. If I go out I'm hit by a wall of heat so I retreat back inside. I'm so relieved that I didn't have to work this week - I'm not sure I would have survived!

Apparently, Mr Corbyn would introduce laws about working in heat above 30 degrees, so that could be a vote winner for him.

Corbyn will say anything to get people to support him, can you imagine the state of the UK if the country stopped working because everytime we had a mini heatwave everyone was allowed to go home and enjoy/endure the sun.

You are not on your own....I think I am the only person I know who is enjoying the heat,and I am sleeping better than I normally do too.

Downside is my hair is so curly with the humidity I cant bloody control it.
