    I'm surprised nobody mentioned the obvious.

    You put your sun hat on, take an ice cold can of beer out of the fridge (or better still, have it in the freezer for half an hour in advance), go into the garden 'to do some work', open can, enjoy.

      Take off me wooly and if it gets proper hot then might even take off one vest. It never gets hot enough for me in this country.

        Take off one layer of the thermals off, get into pill box, drink wine.

        When you've got a screaming big head ache, a mouth full of straw and are surrounded by empty wine bottles, then you know......... Its morning.

                  What do you mean, Melinda:scratch: Ziggy, JWK, and I are very tidy and the Sauna after would be fit for a Queen:heehee: It's just that we'd come out like Lobsters, wearing towels, running with sweat and with a bad case of wind after the curry, full of manly charm:yahoo:

                      Flood warning! Wooo!

                      There is nothing like rowing on the Thames after heavy rain.

                      Sewage! Yeah!

                      Thanks for the heads up!
