Saturday - friends daughters 6th birthday party. In garden all day, kids in and out the paddling pool whole time.
Sunday - Father's Day BBQ over my sisters. In garden all afternoon, kids in and out the paddling pool whole time.
If you could get a 6 week stretch of this weather each year would holiday properly in this country. As it is, just can't take the risk so it's looking at holidays in Europe.2 -
Had a large family gathering on Saturday. Met up in a country park and played volleyball etc for 5 hours. Sweated my way through 3 t-shirts in the process. Today was a bit more chilled didn't do much but still needed 2 t shirts.
Tomorrow I have a black tie event which requires me to be in a tux outside from about 4pm. Dreading it as I am literally going to melt. The only positive I can find is that I'll have 2 hours in a car with newly repaired air conditioning on the way there.0 -
It's chuffing freezing here in Melbourne.0

Sat eve had the kids over to stay - took them back home in the morning after they gave me Father's Day cards & a little present.
Sunday afternoon went to the Malta Inn (as was - now a beefeater) with my g/friend & spent a couple of hours with a drink or two. Lovely breeze coming off the river which kept us cool & then a light meal & got home just in time to watch the golf.0 -
You can't beat the great British tradition of getting the paddling pool out on the hottest days of the year.
Day 1: Water is crystal clear and everyone loves it
Day 2: Water is now full of grass and other assorted crap - the kids are still in it though
Day 3: Pool is starting to deflate, water is now a murky brown colour and not even the dog will go in it
Day 4: Dad stands over the 300 litre paddling pool wondering how the fuck he is supposed to empty it without flooding the entire garden.
Day 5: Paddling pool is returned to furthest corner of the shed from which it will likely never emerge.21 -
Spent yesterday at the in laws chilling out and eating far too much.
As we originally meant to be going to the Stone Roses gig on Saturday I booked today off. The Mrs works at the kids school so can't book time off during term time so I'm on my own all day .0 -
Today and yesterday in Napa was 39-40F and we expect 3 more days of this. If feels awful.0

Day 5: Paddling pool is returned to furthest corner of the shed from which it will likely never emerge. though could I add the hour and a half it takes to pump up the paddling pool, partly because you can only seem to use one foot on the pump, because it feels 'weird' when you try to swap to the other foot. 1 -
Watched the golf to the bitter end at 0130 then went to bed and couldn't get to sleep. Just walked to the railway station (about a mile downhill) and I feel like a bus has hit me. Sweating like a pig. Gonnna be a lovely day at work. At least the heating on the train is off!0

Played golf on Friday, 18 holes teed off at 11am in a lovely breeze-free 46C.RedPanda said:Played golf this afternoon then went straight to bed with an awful headache and sickness.
I get worse hangovers than most people so my body must struggle with dehydration. Today was really hot, to think they wanted to play the Qatar World Cup in Summer.
Downed 4 litres of water, 1 bottle of gatorade, 1 can of pepsi on the course. 2 pints of OJ/7up afterwards...............not doing that again in a hurry.
The top football stadiums are air conditioned though

I stop playing golf in the region from May until October unless playing night golf. I cant stand playing in that heat.QatarNapsy said:

Great weekend with grandkids round yesterday.
Its times like this that I am so pleased I work mainly from home.0 -
No problem sleeping. Went to bed at 2.30, no duvet just duvet cover - sleep soundly until my alarm woke me at 9.30...........working from home has its benefits.JohnBoyUK said:

B'stard.
Today was tough going in... couldn't think of a single excuse that anyone would believe not to be here.0 -
I decided to work from the office today, rather than from home as it would be cooler. The office air conditioning has packed up. Hows my luck?

by the way, those LOLing @DaveMehmet earlier picture have been noted, and should be receiving a formal warning by the end of the day...10

Air con in an office? Blimey, how the other half live.petetheaddick said:I decided to work from the office today, rather than from home as it would be cooler. The office air conditioning has packed up. Hows my luck?
I'm dreading going back in on Wednesday and half the office tutting because I dare open a window. It's regularly over 30 in my office in the summer but still not hot enough for some to stop asking, "...is anyone else feeling a bit chilly?". I get into more rucks about that with colleagues than anything else :-(1 -
