Not to worry. The official summer is coming on Sunday. Then it will be blue sky all day long for the next 3 months.

Really warm here all day so stayed in for most of it except a quick nip in to the garden to do some watering and throw some shade netting over some plants.
And while the front of the house stayed cool managed to a bit of cleaning, fettling and tidying in the shed.

Morning. We are in for a nice, dry weekend up here. I better get out while it’s still reasonably cool.
Good morning all.
A cloudy start to the day here and a bit cooler than yesterday, only going to be a maximum of 29⁰.
Market day today, and some more washing for the machine to be getting on with. The windows need cleaning, and the car needs a wash.
That's enough to be getting on with for the time being.
Ps. I opened the bedroom widows to get dome air in, MrsP has closed them saying it was too cold.😮

Good morning. Hello. AWOL the last couple of days as they've been strangely busy, in a good way, not a bad one. Anyway after a hot sweaty, night it's pleasantly cool as there's been a shower or two. A nice day is forecast at 19⁰ but feels like 15⁰ which brings up the cyclist's dilemma. I'll sweat which means at some point I'll get cold. ???????? Out on the club ride today. I've seen the rider list. My buddy and I may go our own sweet way.
Where's @classic33 ??? Have I missed something? Unobservant. Is he OK?
We were on nursery pick up in north Manchester yesterday afternoon and child mind at her house till 8.00pm. Fine. Collect child. Back to house. The key safe is in place - it isn't attached to the wall but moved around to different spots - I've never asked why. It won't open. After 15 minutes of frustration, we did explain to #2SP, she understood, we rang Daddy. It went like this:
"Have you used the right code?" Yes.
"Did you press the little black button?" - Paul thinks "how many AirBnBs have I stayed in?
"It was working this morning" - Paul thinks "it feckin' isn't now"
"Have you tried banging it in on the ground?" Paul hurls it into the ground!!!
It was agreed we would take her to our house and Daddy would pick her up later. Excellent. #2 is happy "Can I watch Dip Dap?" Yes! To get to the end of the story, she's 2½, we're driving through the village before ours, about one mile to home:
#2 "Nana and Granddad's house"
Nana "Nearly there now"
#2 "Have you got a key"
Granddad just about kept the car on the road. Hysterical!
