I feel so bad for all of you in the extreme heat. Its all over the news here and the news said some of the rails had to be closed due to the heat. The poor little budgies! You know they are hot when they get all skinny and hold their wings out! Hope the heat abates quickly. Hot days pre-pandemic is when people would go to the air conditioned theater to watch a movie.

It's 27.5C in the lounge, warmer than yesterday. I gather the temperature is set to plummet soon. The birbs have been good, plenty of resting, minimal flying, minimal squabbling. Chocobo has dumped two food bowls and emptied a third because she's a cheerful idiot. I might try to post some vids and pics later, if I can. Not really into effort today. There's been no PT nor any floor scrubbing. Lazy day but I did walk to the shops earlier.

Upstairs is around 29 degrees, downstairs is more like 24.
The budgies don't seem phased but the humans and cat in the house are suffering. The cat has been given a good shaving and still looks like her fur is longer than that of a shorthair.

I'm glad the tempture is going down for you Marianne Marlow. I've had the windows shut in the lounge during the day for the past 2 days. It was 28C in the lounge today and it was 29C upstairs earlier in the evening. We had thunder and a brief shower of rain about 2pm - big drops but quite far apart. It was quite refreshing standing out in the garden in the rain but as soon as it stopped it was very hot again. I feel lucky that we haven't had such high temperatures here as some of you have had. The weather really changed about 7pm and it's quite cool outside now. It's still 27 in the lounge but cooling down in the rest of the house as I have all the windows open now so there is cool air blowing in. It's aparently about 20C outside and it's such a relief. I hope the cooler weather reaches the rest of you really soon. Sorry your hospital appointment was cancelled ladybird.

What a relief that cooler weather has arrived! It may take a day or two for the buildings to cool down, may be a good time to go outside to cool off. Anybody sleeping on their balcony or patio tonight?

I'm so jealous of your temperatures jellybeanAre you going to run outside and gather all the washing in if it starts raining? I remember us all doing that when we were kids! According to my phone its 17° right now. I've just hung a washing out and it's a cooool wind.

I sure will Marianne, plus I don't have far to run 😂
A friend of mine who was sitting out in her garden yesterday, she lives a 5 minute drive from me, texted to say she had to rush inside as it started to pour with rain....We never saw a drop.

The weather can be so random at times I sure will Marianne, plus I don't have far to run 😂 A friend of mine who was sitting out in her garden yesterday, she lives a 5 minute drive from me, texted to say she had to rush inside as it started to pour with rain....We never saw a drop.

25.7C in the lounge, a lot cooler outside! Paranoia prevents me from opening the windows wide so I'll have to accept a slow cooling down here. Looks like floor-rubbing and weight training is back on the agenda.
