    Watching my biggest cat enjoying the weather. he simply sprawls his long-furred bulk wherever he pleases. The baby buggy I use for shopping is in the long grass by the big gate and he crashes underneath it for the shade.. and to lie in wait so dog and I do not go for a walk without him.. Safe here these my cats..And a continuing quiet delight

    Happy that today worked out absolutely perfectly. Did the breakfast shift at work, was out at noon, then came home and spent the whole day lying out in the sun :D

    A few years ago I got a ceiling fan in Argos for about 30 quid and it was brilliant. I would leave it on the low setting all night and it wasn't loud. It was especially helpful in the humid. Now that I have birds flying around the apartment it's become redundant :(

    I am wearing a baseball cap,shorts, hair tied back and sunglasses with the heat. Not my usual look at all. I am sniggering imagining the sh1t I could get up to and not be recognised. TH at how easily amused I am :)

    I just found a good free location in the town, in a car park actually, where I can go and bang a tennis ball against a wall without bothering anyone or any chance of breaking any windows. It nice to be able go out and engage in some activity that doesn't cost anything. And Wimbledon hasn't even started yet! Long live long dry sunny evenings.

    Yes! I have some in the press. Thank you.


    Loving this weather; it offers so many excuses - mess with water, not do as much work, eat ice-cream, drink tall cold cocktails...

    You could also stock up on ice-cream and various sprinkles/toppers and play "ice-cream parlour"!

    Hey, can I come along, too, please?

    That would meet the under 6 criteria.

    Any loophole to get ice-cream.

    Brings back memories of a long ago childhood,,, Bouncing balls off the wall,,, We had songs too.. "1,2,3, a leara, 456 a leara, 789 a leara, TEN a leara" ( on which you had to spin round fast.. "CATCH the ball.."

    all kinds of variations to make it harder...

    And folk wonder why we had no childhood obesity.. played that for hours

    Ah I grew up in far away Lancashire.. Not here.. the O'Leary connection makes sense as we were near Liverpool with its strong Irish community ..

    Hopscotch was my favourite. Never will I forget the sound of an old tobacco tin grating on stones...or the polish of scratches it gathered.

    Cannot find a version like we played that involved kicking the tin as we hopped and it made a good solitary game like that. I used to play it alone for hours. Made for very strong legs ...

    This is fun!
