Emmz we use a fan in our bedroom during the muggy nights as I can't have windows open it affects my asthma, it also stops hubby kicking his restless legs around the bed!!

Sun Glasses and cream ready - could get up to 81 tomorrow.  (y)
I for the one day this week have a complete day at home
Now where's the mattress for me lounger  runs off to find it  -------------------  stops - - thinks - on second thoughts I'll get hubby to go hunting it out --------------------------------   ;)

No doubt we will be hearing the battle cry 'water shortage' soon, the hot weather will be hit with my missus  :) personally like I cooler.

We also have a fan in the room along with window being open. For the moment it doesn't affect the asthma side of things but it doesn't mean it won't.
Keeping my child hydrated and not running herslef to the bone will be a challenge, along with her school items she has her water bottle, sun hat sun cream and glasses all of which she has to take and needs.

People must be cos there weren't many taxi customers in town today !!
Title: Re: Heat Wave coming
Post by: emmz on June 30, 2015, 07:13:13 PM
funnily enough I got a taxi from that rank and there was only one cab there. This was around lunch time!
Enjoying the warm weather but not stopping out too long.

Yes I am R W.
Not really done too much today, sat in the garden for just over an hour this morning and then again later this afternoon, in between I sat in the shade.
Daughter came for a couple of hours and I walked back down the village with her - boy was it Hot!!
The heat was jumping up off the pavement to meet my face.
Not many people around.

Tomorrow - we are on a weather alert for possible flash flooding and lightening.
Can't say our weather is dull!!

This was around lunch time!

Did my early school runs. Got on that rank about 9.30am, picked a customer up at 11.00am which was actually a booking from Hidden Hearing across the road. Did that job, covered another booking, then got back on the rank at 1.30pm. Did a job to Grangewood at 3.00pm, then drove to Eckington for the return on my school run.

Then I went home. Scorchio day  (y)  :-X

Ahh fair enough did see your missus yesterday said hi :)
Decided to treat myself to a subway the little one near the bus stop. Walked in and the heat hit me I don't know how they manage it to be honest.
Should it rain tomorrow I imagine Laura will be wanting to go play in it, she enjoys thunderstorms etc (I am actually a little frightened by the lightning lol) But have never showed this to her.....

I slept through most of it, woke once to hear some thunder and see a couple of flashes then turned over and continued snoring!

I was up at 2.30am as was the rest of the household. I was at work for 5.30am. Then I wondered why I started yawning mid morning!!
Plus we had no electricity until 8.30 am ::)
