I found some photos from the Moors and Christians festival
This wolf gently came toward Theo and touched him, let just say that Theo was not the slighted bit impressed.
We have hit 38 a couple of times already, but have learnt (the hard way) how to manage the heat. lower expectations, jobs early in the day, etc etc, seems the Uk are making heaps over the expected heat wave, as that slogan says you just adjust and carry on.!
Rebecca has been building up clients for a villa clean etc, hard, hot sweaty work but bless her, she is game to crack on and make something in the season. She leaves the boys at the beach of a Saturday morning where they have great fun, then joins in with them to share fun too, except she was very badly stung by a sea anemone, the red cross patrol said it was not as bad as a jellyfish sting, bet they were glad not to be on the end of it cos it hurt like billyo. Having been stung by jellyfish in my youth I can feel for her, it hurts like 100 x nettles being wrapped round you, go to the chemist for some cream. Luckily its gone down, but then working today she was stung by a wasp, poor love not her week at all.
Just done 40 lengths of the pool, equates to 304m, quite chuffed, we are earlier this season for the pool with the higher temps quite early. Surprising how much evaporation from winds and heat occurs, so we need a top up for the pool and one for the house, hopefully he will come tomorrow.
Need to start dinner,
take care

The problem with having extreme weather in the UK is that we're not prepared for it, so when it hits, we're not ready. In other countries, they know the weather will be how it is so have developed strategies and equipment to cope with it. I think things will have to change here.
ReplyDeleteHopefully your daughter will have a less bitey/stingy week!
Best wishes

Oh wow, those costumes are fabulous, but I'm with Theo, things used to scare me to death when I was little. I remember someone dressed in a Rupert Bear costume walking down the beach when I was little and I was terrified, I still remember it now, haha. Oh yes, we've got the hot weather here too, though not quite as hot as you, yet. They're forecasting it to break records at the weekend, we'll see. Oh, poor Rebecca, it really hasn't been her week, has it. I hope she's had her fair share of stings now and that the coming week is better for her.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see that festival... so it's great to have a couple of pictures of someone who went there..... crazy weather... our winter is unusually cold and wet
