Good morning all on a not as scorching as tomorrow and Tuesday Breckland Sunday. Today my youngest son is 30 for which I thank God BBQ will be fired up, local family will be here which means gazebo and unicorn paddling pool for junior members. @dunelm thanks for the art, congratulations to your grandson and, I guess, the rain. @gennepher what a stunning kaleidoscope, possibly your favourite of mine so thank you so much. Sorry to hear about the animal intruder and intrigued about how you identify poo. Whatever level warning your area do adhere to the basics and God willing we all continue meeting here virtually.

Apologies if someone else offered the book.

Because I looked it up too...

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, two very good paintings today hats off to @gennepher and @dunelm thanks for sharing your talents.
An impressive 6.7 on that meter this morning.
My reading this morning was that impressive I decided to get out early on my motorcycle and head out west for the Savernake forest area to hunt for vegan bacon sarnies, after a good little ride on my steed I found a sarnie hiding in its lair and consumed it there and then, washing it down with a koffy.
Also out hunting were two very hairy bikers with their choppers works of art, not my sort of thing, but these choppers or trikes cost a large fortune, but I would prefer to spend that amount of money on a large herd of bacon sarnies.
Stay safe stay cool and have you got your hosepipe ban on order?

Oh for the life in the open road. :happy::happy::happy:

Loving you got out, and corralled a few sneaky sarnies :)

Appreciate the works, but very impractical for London street...no chance of filtering, and can't see one of those fitting in any M/Cycle bay I've ever seen..:hilarious:

However for those who might need such a bike, bravo..great workmanship AND mobility..

What's not to like :headphone:

More pics of your outings, if you don't mind, @alf_Josiah ....very much like :D
 
Hi.
North Cumbria.25deg C this pm and that is usually as hot as it gets. Still cool in downstairs bedrooms but will be interesting to see what Tuesday does.

I am thinking about my son in law in York having to be out all day as a postie if it gets to 40 Deg C there.

Not very pleasant at all for your son in law. Hope he is OK tomorrow.

I wouldn't expect postie to do walking and hand deliveries through letter boxes in excesses of heat, that we are not used to. There should be some kind of back up with water supplies, for example.
The route is all up and down hills where I live.
 
Herewith a reason why not to perform semi complex tasks with low blood sugars.
Enjoy a laugh at my expense.D92A51A3-0B85-4492-B45A-CBC11FA21120.jpeg

Brailsford's Marginal Gains or Dr Bernstein's Law of small numbers. Btw, I can and do advise that for others but ....... I guess being born on June 19th makes one different:angelic:

I looked for ages too @jjraak but gave up in the heat of the day...
 
17.07.
My parents wedding anniversary yesterday Its a difficult day for Mum. They were married for 66 years.
A day of high FBG (6.3 ), temperature (39°C), bad news and dramatic faintings.
Disregarding guidelines for keeping safe in hot weather can be fatal.
A 42 year old distant relative of MrSlim had a heart attack after a boozy party last night and died this morning. A similar thing happened to MrSlims brother at about the same age.
Our house guest, also suffered from the heat, having had an energetic water pistol fight with her daughter in the afternoon and not drinking enough to compensate.
I really thought she was going to need hospital treatment for a while, but an hour of gentle sponging down with cool, but not cold water, and insisting she drink every time she came round and after a short sleep, she has recovered enough to have sharp words with her teenage son, although she is still alarmingly wobbly. Remember we have an ancient house with uneven curved stone stairs, a fall would almost certainly lead to significant injury.
Tomorrow is going to be even hotter, but I doubt if she will be sunbathing...i made peach flavoured tea to have over ice, but we are all out of ice cream cones and I suspect the shops will be too.
Hope you are all managing to keep cool and safe out of the sun.
@ianpspurs thanks for posting the useful chart on heat related problems.
@gennepher lovely paintings, how wonderful that your daughter shares your artistic nature.
@Krystyna23040 glad to read Poppy is doing well after her dental treatment.
