It's been so blooming hot over the last few days that we haven't felt like going out at all. Any temperature over about 23 C melts us 🫠and, at times, it's been 28 C in the house despite having closed the windows and blinds, and putting the fan on 😱
Sleeping has been problematic too with the heat lingering well into the night. As we have a bungalow we can't leave windows open at night so, as soon as it's light, I throw the bedroom window wide open to let in the cool morning air. Bliss !
Last night I was still awake at midnight and saw the flash of lightning but heard no thunder. It gradually came closer, noisier and then the few drops of rain turned into a torrent. I opened the window and let the cool air in whilst I stood watching the storm. It was so refreshing and it's certainly refreshed the garden as well as us!
The weather is set to cool down next week and give us a little respite, thank goodness.

I love ❤️ poppies so last year at the allotment I sprinkled the seeds from a couple of self sown poppies along the side of the shed. When we went to water on Tuesday we saw these.....
They are absolutely massive and are a beautiful colour, I think. And there are lots of them!!
Bloom where you are sown, I say 😉

Each Tuesday we are still visiting the library in the morning before the heat builds up and researching the family tree.....
There's nothing exciting found so far but I do enjoy the change of scene, a comfy chair and a
drink whilst Gray carries on at the computer........

That's all for now folks. My back is playing up again and I can't sit comfortably (nor walk for that matter 😕) until the pain eases off. It came on suddenly yesterday (no idea what I had done to deserve it) and the pain was another reason I couldn't sleep last night.
Hey, ho....such is life...time for more painkillers.
Thanks for popping in and stay safe wherever you happen to be,
Angie 💗
