    Hi,

    WOW @Victoria getting up so late for us would mean half the day was gone. :)

    Monday & Friday I'm up at 6am to do the shopping the rest of the week including Sunday we're up about 7am having had a lay in. Both my wife and I are used to getting up early; 60 years ago aged 15 I used to be down the coal mine by 6am.

    Kind regards, Colin.

      The temperature here, in the shade, has just topped 100F/38C. On the internet it says it is just a measly 36C :noidea:

      It's eerily quiet out there with not a sound of a bird singing and none flying or on our feeders. There is usually lots of them at this time of day. Even the farmer has stopped harvesting.

        What is your wife's hobby?

        We are only 26c but with no breeze so it feels stifling with 50% humidity. The cicadas arrived with us last week finally. In the early morning hours I heard the chorus of crickets?

              Here also, I am usually up around 7 a.m. and sometimes earlier, 8 o'clock is late for me.



              Same here and the traffic on the main road down the hill has eased off as well, it does feel strange ...


              The thermometer I put in the shade this morning now reads 41 C :frown: but there is a slight breeze.

                It's a mere 33c here, depending on which thermometer I use. :biggrin:

                  We didn't retire to work non stop. I guess in a hot country you tend to slow down and life is very laid back. :biggrin:

                    I've always hated being in bed though, I hate going there in the night and I get up as soon as I wake. I've always been like that.
                    I don't actually do anything after I get up, just take things easy, but being in bed gets on my nerves.

                        Sitting under a tree up the garden, there is a slight breeze. 36c and holding steady. It's over 40c in the greenhouse but has been on other days too.

                          Having been bedbound for 18 months on my back, I got sort of used to it. :sad: I have my laptop and TV (for the news) as I am usually awake 6ish onwards. Hopefully this will change soon.

                          There is not much, if anything, to do in the garden, and I don't find it pleasant just sitting out in the heat for hours.

                              Put the thermometer in the shade 2 hours ago and now reads 32c and that is with a breeze. The hottest day here for at least 20 years.:smile:
