The Retirement Thread

Morning. Dull at the moment but feeling warm and humid already. Roll on Autumn. I hate the summer.

I have risen!

Chucked it down overnight.

Coooeeee. Going to be another scorcher here. 3 more days of unbearable heat before it goes back to something more bearable.

No rain here. I wish we had had some. It might have cooled things down a bit.

Stay safe peeps

Morning.
Up earlier than usual as eldest off to work so checked her car first and I'm considering an early ride before heat gets too much but it's flippin' boiling already!

Good morning from a sunny Dorset. Walking group this morning, be interesting to see how many brave the heat. Walked through the park and up to Broadstone yesterday and needed to stop and sit for a moment at the top of a short steep hill. Mrs Tkk made curry last night, just to add to the heat 😁

Was raining and blundering when I left the house with the dogs, but is now brightening up.

Had a shock then... I read it as 'get my wedding out of the way'.

That was my first thought as well.

I was woke up at about 02.00 by a big thunderstorm, it lasted over an hour more or less right above Barnet before it moved on.
It has however filled my waterbutts, so I have 440ltrs of water to use. The garden won't need watering today though.

Riverside trail walked.

Having breakfast now. 4 scrambled eggs with some grated cheese followed by a mug of coffee with double cream. Got to love keto/carnivore diet.

I like eggs but there is no way I could eat 4. Well done you.

Good morning from a very sunny and breezy Weymouth. Yep, it's hot but there's a strong onshore breeze, around 15mph, which is keeping our AirBnB cool and makes the temperature reasonable, the highest we have forecast is 26 with a feels like of 27, home is 30 and 30 but little breeze. Seems like we're in a good spot.

Yesterday was a wander around Weymouth, delicious breakfast at Pascal's Brasserie - "Flat White please" "No. Expresso or Americano" No messing about, love it. A long walk along the sandy beach and water so warm we're both tempted to swim..............Mrs P often needs tempting into the Med, that's how warm the sea is off Weymouth. Around 2.00pm I avoided the discussion about is the tide going in or out. I mentioned the tide was receeding quite quickly, Mrs P responded that it was coming in and pointed out those people are closer to the water than when we walked by before.........................I didn't state the blindingly obvious that they had got up and moved! Some hours later I mentioned high tide was at 9.00pm.

A visit to Durdle Dor may be on the cards today
