The Dogmother Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 22 deg at 8am, 35deg here this afternoon, and about 29deg now. House is lovely and cool though - always is, even in the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Soapdragon it's all your fault I'm wilting!!! Sorry everyone I have to admit that a bit more of a breeze would be nice but am holding the thought of 4 degrees or so cooler tomorrow!

Valkyrie Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Oooh big stormy bits on the radar - Manchester way and going north. Our turn later apparently. Nice breeze today but I did get up to magpies yelling about 5am. Saw the biggest hedgehog ever wandering down the garden. Probably off to bed after a drink of water and a feast of huge slugs (saw one of those at the same time also off to bed for the day). I'm going to call him Harold the Huge. Left the chooks door open last night but not the run so I was waiting for them to start yelling. Got up did some chores, did the ironing put the ceiling fan on (bliss) let the girls out and thought hey ho cup of coffee and breakfast. I thought it was around 10am. Nope, 7.30! My body clock is off kilter with the heat!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Still very warm in the sunshine yesterday but much more cloud. Feels cooler and fresher this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovychook Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Drizzling here now... you might come back to full water butts Mullethunter Hope you have a lovely holiday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Raining-ish. Lovely cool breeze on my face as I woke to hear pitter patter sounds. Well that and a very noisy crow! It's nice to have it back again but I don't think there's enough to sink into the ground - just a smattering over the top - let alone fill the water butts. Cloudy and dull but am told it'll be "showers" for today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovychook Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Crikey, makes me want to reach for a fan just at the thought of it Cloudy here but with a few sunny spells and the odd bit of drizzle. Cooler than of late and breezy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Rain wasn't really much but it did come out really warm this evening and I managed to dry duvets and pillowcases in half an hour on the line!!! Edited to say - duvet cover!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Over 35 degrees this morning, but massive thunder storm and much cooler now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Well what a change! Raining. Which is typical because I hosed the garden this morning. I also hosed myself when I fell over. Had to have a nice bubble bath to warm me up! Rather light this afternoon but at the moment it sounds rather heavy and steady. Which will be lovely to listen to as I go to sleep - I find rain very relaxing at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 42 degrees this afternoon. Too hot. Thunder in the distance though so hopefully we might get a cleansing storm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hope your thunderstorm arrives, that heat sounds so debilitating Quite different back home- a day of solid, heavy rain yesterday. Very breezy overnight and raining steadily now. Enjoyed a good nights sleep, lovely and cool, listening to the downpour. Would like the sunshine back soon though!

Valkyrie Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 After the heavy rain in the night and a little lighter stuff in the morning it eased off. The clouds remained though and it did spit occasionally but not enough to warrant a coat. No air at all - made myself yawn to try and breathe on a walk. Very muggy indeed. Stayed indoors because that was better. The chooks looked rather depressed too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I think I heard rain in the night - but it was one of those nights where you pull the covers over, throw them off again. Hazy sun and chilly first thing - more like September! I haven't heard the wild birds for the last 2 days - the odd squawk or cheep but this morning even the magpies and crows were quiet (I can hear the mags now). Thankfully I can breathe today. More of a breeze bringing some fresh air, so a bit more awake - or is that because I've had my coffee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Well spotted Ali's Girls - I'm in Florida - no I don't think it's quite that warm in Cornwall! Just having breakfast by the pool where it's 82F in the shade at 09:10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Good washing drying weather here.....warmish with a stiff breeze and sunshine. Very acceptable; could do this for the rest of the year!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 They announced on the radio that the temperatures will soon exceed those we've already had in the next week or so. Can't say I'm looking forward to over 33/34 degrees! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
