Now that sounds like a good idea, though I was thinking of just turning on my watering system as that should cool the air a bit

my garden termometer is recording 36° with an indoor temp of 26°

Crying or Very sad

Can I borrow your swimming pool please???

wonderful, just had a severe weather warning come through from the met office

"Torrential downpours of the order of 60mm in a 3 hour period are possible with total accumulations reaching 100mm or more locally. Such rainfall totals could lead to significant flash flooding, particularly in areas prone to rapid runoff."

Guess who's on call tonight and over the weekend..............
