Its going to max out here at 15 deg C today...it reached the dizzy heights of 20 deg C yesterday.4.8 this morning. I am hoping the met office is wrong and it isn't going to be 27° today. This mornings classes will be OK but I'm not sure about this evenings.
Can we swap houses today, and can I bring the dogs. I am sure you would prefer my 27°.Its going to max out here at 15 deg C today...it reached the dizzy heights of 20 deg C yesterday.

Glad to read Popeye is ok and you are taking precautions against heatstroke.Temperature already 25.1 C here according to my temperature sensor at 10.15am (which is in the shade), and I am wiped out. I am sweating more than I can gurgle down in water (with acv in it). Cat is lying on a damp towel (which he doesn't seem to mind), and I am draping his head and shoulders with a damp flannel (which he prefers to a damp heavy towel....). He looks fine, but I am reminded that yesterday I had no obvious warning of his sudden heatstroke.
Don't forget to drink plenty of liquid...
The theologian N.T.Wright tells the story that a Zoo on the West Coast of America has a Wolf and Lamb together in a cage. Apparently the only problem they have at the Zoo is they need a new lamb every day!16.06.2021

Errant appears to have regained his appetite after several days of smaller meals, he is suddenly hungry again. Maybe it is mean of me, but have taken the opportunity to reduce both his previous size of meals by 2 grammes. This is going to be neccessary as the new bag of food recommends a smaller quantity daily.
Shopping today for cat food. Am still horrified at the quality. Why do cats need vegetables? It seems all the cat food on the shelves include vegetables saying they are good for cats. Carrots? peas? Does anyone have a cat that chooses to eat these?
His current food has 88% animal protein.
The best I could find this morning has 20% chicken and declares itself to be "riche en poulet" but also suitable for cats 7+ and sterilized. We will see what he thinks of it tonight.
Thank you for that idea. I am doing it now @dunelmBeautiful Lin Fengmian inspired painting, wonderful colours and those stylized birds - fab.
Bottles of frozen water on a drip tray in front of each fan should help to cool the air for you and Popyeye.
Very organic @dunelmGood morning everyone on a weather fence sitting start here in the dark and dangerous north.
The wonder wheel of a fine slice of ham off the bone by our skilled butcher with a couple of eggs on top came in at 5.0 this am
A busy day yesterday, entertaining the troops and a game of football that somehow requires three garishly coloured balls. One of our nieces came round in the morning with her daughter who is about the same age as the girl in the bubble so small table and chairs out in the garden with toy boxes, picnic blankets, open the doors to the summer house and of course, importantly, a parasol for the stooges. Birds were unimpressed and stayed away from the bird feeders - they made up for the inconvenience after ‘tidy up time’ was completed. After that, all I could do was watch something terrible on the telly called The News.
Debates today in that place about the extension and then a vote! Cola removed by footy club and doctors saying that cola products are comparably as bad as smoking fags - caffeine and addiction stuff: the three big nasties, especially for low income families being cola drinks, smoking and gambling sites. Other news, that Don’t Dilly Dally On The Way line that goes “you can't trust a special like an old time copper” has been born out on that Cressida watch.
Not much time for art yesterday but I did do a ‘wash, drip and splash’ - Have an excellent bin day, koffy time.

Thanks @ianpspursGood morning you lovely people. Swipey truculently chirped "call it 4.6 for cash, guv" - very biege IMHO. Huge Ocado Avocados last 2 days, mucho love. Sainsbury's cooked chicken a total flop in contrast. Still, I have a skip to fill. Very pleasant young man delivered our groceries yesterday so we won't starve (3 kgs Fage 0%) or need to resort to that dreadful cooking malarkey - except for my Salmon on Friday. Hug for sleep problems and concern over Popeye @gennepher. I feel for you @Krystyna23040. BBC East East (still phases me not to get Cambs news) gels say we could touch 30C - fine by me but some don't tolerate it as well. Exciting day yesterday @dunelm but don't worry, Cola will be rehabilitated shortly once someone has paid for the research to prove it is saintly. 4th big nasty for those families will be playing fast and loose with the actualité later. Sweepstake on The Pinocchios? @alf_Josiah made my own lemonade at the idea of you being the sane one in the room. Great fbg @karen8967. Tinkety Tonk Old Fruits.
20% chicken @SlimLizzy ? There are too many fillers in these foods cats never naturally ate. I am not sure what Popeye's dried food is at the moment, but it's me picking the best one out of a bad bunch.16.06.2021

Both of you keep cool.
Here it is 29c and heat is still increasing.
We are hiding from it inside our thick stone walls.
Thank you @gennepher - didn’t think of that one.Very organic @dunelm
Like rock carved out by sea and sand.
Our boy cat happily eats ginger nut biscuits, crisps, cake and bread but does turn his nose up at cooked veg. He likes lettuce. He steals most of these from waste bins and proudly brings them home to eat.It seems all the cat food on the shelves include vegetables saying they are good for cats. Carrots? peas?
