And I was hoping the heat wave would be in Blackpool this weekend and yes I've got a blanket over me and 3 toasty dogs on the sofa with me and it's still not that warm
And oh Ds1/3 we're here for dinner and insisted we get the BBQ out well,it was dry que us out in the garden in hoodies with hot coco not cold beer or wine

DD asked for the central heating to be turned on tonight. No way that's happening we are Scottish , the heating is only on when the icicles are hanging off our noses. She's wearing a hoodie & a blanket.
I put the laundry in the tumble dryer as yet again it's been raining.
It's all over the press/news about how hot it is, they don't mention daily how cold/wet/snowy it is up here.
PS I am ginger so happy not to have to wear suncream daily

Come a wee bit further south and it is hot! I hate thunder and lightning, but could really do with it to clear the air a bit! Although I am not complaining, I do like the heat, I just seem to tolerate it a lot better in Orlando!

Never mind - remember it's always a good laugh to watch the panic and hysteria when a flake of snow lands down south in the winter.

See more...

See and that is what bugs me , it's not hysteria from us southerners though, it's the media .
They like to make it sound like the end of the world when in reality we just get on with it.
It's our public services that all out panic , we just get annoyed when we can't get to work or the schools close which to be fair isn't often anymore .
Papers like the Daily Mail are the worst for this

We are on the East coast in Scotland and it's to be a balmy 13 degrees on Monday with a high of 14 for the rest of the week

Currently sat at home waiting on the boss finishing work so we can head off to centre parcs for a break.. then Blackpool next weekend.. I really need to work on my timing.. missing the grand day out .. by a week ! Back to the weather. We're just north of Glasgow. The weather doesn't bother the boss.. if it's raining she'll find stuff for me to do inside, and if it's sunny , stuff outside 😎😎. Seriously though the press do go on about heatwaves etc..

We actually put the heating on one day a couple of weeks ago - it was so cold so I do sympathise with my friends further north. We have just had 5 or 6 really hot days but it was too hot for comfort and nightimes were awful.
Oh For a happy medium.
