What a scorcher!!

its too hot for me.. theres nothing worse than a sticky mouse mat at work

 

I feel a thunder storm comimg on !!:yess: I love thunderstorms.

 

So do I chopper very exhilerating and they clear the air to boot!

 

Me too Chopper, soo hot today, my poor extremely furry cat is laying here next to the fan, while the silly dog keeps wanting to go and lay out in it, well suppose he is a choccy lab got to keep the tan up.

 

Tip of Cornwall and over Britany at the moment,

Live storm data from Newport, Isle of Wight from a Boltek StormTracker lightning detector

 

It was 30.9f{24.6c}at lunch time {12.11pm}but it has dropped down to a cool 86.5f and a breeze has sprung up so the rain is on it's way.:D

The thunder flies are out in force as well so we will all be scratching like the cats soon:D

 

Yes there's loads of irritating little flies here too, you can hardly see them but they don't half make you itch....

Massive amount of flying ants about this morning, the sparrows were picking them off at will

Again far too hot for me in the garden, gave most of it good soaking last night and watered the pots this morning at 5am (it was lovely then :D).

Roll on a good thunderstorm, can't wait :yess:

 

I was giving evil looks to all the women going to work in their floaty/ short dresses and gladiator sandals today.

We're on site today, so its steel toe caps, smart trews and crisp white shirts for us. I get treated very much as one of the boys and I really cant abuse that, by showing up in florals and flip flops when they cant.


I dont think in general British men dress well for the sun - both business and casual wear. I saw some horrors on the way into the office this morning!
That said, I dont think I want to around when these become de rigeur for the corporate office drone:






Whats wrong with light coloured tailored trews and a light, open necked shirt? Men folk of Britain, why is that so hard to do?

 

Shiney, remember God can see you in your banana hammock! :D

Also, dont forget the sunscreeen!

 

If it can be of any consolation, Icelandic men don't know much how to dress or behave in the sun either...

But having said that I don't think that men should keep themselves covered at all...

 

Fjalar, one of our masseurs is Icelandic. He lives in shorts 365 days.
He wears factor 60 head to toe and remains the colour of milk even when the whole team is dark enough to pass for mixed race.

He once forgot to cover his nose and it went beetroot in just an hour. We still call him Rudolph.

 

Hope you are having a better day today Armandii? Sending wishes for a speedy recovery and next time don't make your tea with the left over water from Ziggy's washed thermals

It's all clouded over here and my head is bangin so roll on the thunder and lets have a cool down :yess:. Am working in London for the next 2 days and hope it cools down b4 I get there.
