It's too hot :(

[tenofspades]

I wonder, is it the perfect time of year to buy radiator fans?
Edit: £50.00 perhaps not....

Windows fully open here room still stayed locked on 26c , good old bricks starting to retain the heat again

I hardly ever see bees , butterflies anymore, just freaking flies

What are you planting to attract them? I see a lot more bees on my more native flowers, or even flowers some call weeds. One good thing you can do is grow a patch of nettles, very good for butterflies and moths.

Same as the last 5 years for example couldn't have any bright colours such as inflatable pool as it would attract so many bees wasps , this time no such problem

Also new neighbours decided to slab the whole garden seems to be the trend here which previously had good amount of green / flowers

Lots of bees on our clover lawn, the whole area is buzzing. Trying to do my bit.



And lots of butterflies now the buddleia is opening.

Blimey where are you? Not the south I'll wager grass is basically straw down here everything is various shades of beige seem to spend more time watering plants gasping for water than anything else.

I'm assuming the lawn's been watered.

South, plus a lot of watering. We’ve barely seen rain this year, even many of the storms. Was hoping to avoid a repeat of last year, but here we are. Should be a fun water bill again.

Happening everywhere people are either putting slabs down or artificial grass

Artificial grass is even worse. Just more plastic

But 1976...

If you think 1976 was bad look up the drought of 1540-41 between February and September it only rained 6 times...

I've not watered my lawn. As much as I like to it's a waste of water.

God damn fruit flies getting in my bourbon.

I'm having to cover my glass between sips.



..... first world problems

Got a decent fan set up in the bedroom but not had to use it yet because it gets nice and cool after dark with the windows open.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

At least we don’t have the humidity we did last time, makes a huge difference.

We really need a wet wet winter here and not another dry spell like this next year.

I was sat in the livingroom earlier and was thinking of putting the stove on as my legs were getting a bit chilly!

 

[dcsarge]

Had the back door and living room window open to enjoy the cool fresh air and of course one of the local ***** has lit a bonfire.
