Well it was far too hot for me yesterday.
For most of the day I was at a country manor house in a 3-piece suit.
Shouldn't grumble though, not everyday you get married

Not everyone's moaning. Probably just those of us that have never paid any £££ to go to somewhere with weather like this...
Normally when you pay money to get weather like this you don't have to do every day things like working, etc. in the weather :s

Yet the people who actually live there, pretty much most of Europe get on just fine with weather like this, just like they get on fine with snow in winter
UK is just a bunch of weather moaners, they moan when it's typically cloudy and wet and moan when it's nice and sunny there's no pleasing

Someone needs to invent a central heating mod that super cools in summer and allows normal heating in winter
Getting bored of 30c and dry now. Need some rain before the whole garden turns to tinder
It's not cheap, about £1200 a unit/room to do it properly and that was "mates rates". It's also expensive to run (though it's very cheap to heat rooms using them).

Weather forecast looks promising for next week. All cloudy but no rain forecast yet.
Come on..... some rain i need to kill the damn thrips and not having to keep windows closed all day until 18:00.

Currently 31.6 degrees in the bedroom, hope it cools off a bit for tonight.
I've got a cracking hangover today and the heat isn't helping

Except they traditionally pack up shop for hottest part of the day and siesta and resume when its cooled down somewhat. Mad dogs and Englishmen and all that.
If I could get a small portable one I would the ones I've seen are pretty large.
I was in a hotel in California like that turn the knob one way its a heater the other and the air con came on. Divine. Noisy bugger though you couldn't sleep with it on.

The two at the top are fed from the river hence the blue colour. The lake, I don't know. I assume the white edge is how far is dropped about 3feet to reveal the stone base.

You lead the way, tell us what either pole is like for a few weeks, I'm sure you will be fine.

I'm not complaining about the weather though, I like it

Well for the first time since 1976 (now that was a heatwave) in England, I had trouble sleeping last night.
Very hot.

Hahaha the heating thermostat is currently showing 28 degrees downstairs. Time to open the loft hatch I think and get some passive stack ventilation going. I do like it though, even managed a 6km run at 17:00
