Sorry I didn’t start the weekly chat yesterday I’ve had a lot going on yesterday that I won’t bore you with.

Anyway how is everyone? Fighting fit I hope? It’s a lovely day again, we are going to our sons this morning to take delivery of a table as they are both out. A walk in the sunshine hopefully later if it’s not to hot.

Have a great day whatever you are doing.

A beautiful morning here. Looks like it's going to be a very warm one.

Just looking on the news this morning there has been a big house explosion in Bristol. The terraced house has been completely destroyed & adjacent buildings are damaged too. It is a suspected gas explosion.

There has been a large fire at a substation in London once again. The fire is still going strong & firefighters are trying to get it under control.

There are the ongoing problems with power cuts in Spain & Portugal. Some of the power has been restored but the reasons for the outage is still unclear.

One interesting story was about a Violin that was made by hand by an inmate of Dachau Concentration camp in 1942. 

The Violin was built by finding available wood in the camp. There was also a secret message inside the Violin & the name of the man who built it.

The man actually survived being interned in the camp.

It's going to be a scorcher here. Blue Sky, plenty of warm Sun since 9 am this morning. It is already 19 C outside & they are forecasting at least 25 C+ later on today. 

We will be spending some time out in the garden today to soak up this Sunshine, covered up of course with plenty of factor 50.

The only ones not enjoying this wonderful weather will be the energy companies.

We’ve just got back from a lovely walk around a nature reserve, we used our Merlin bird identication app, here are some of the birds it picked up. Chiffchaff Robin, Wren, Blackbird, Blackcap, Graylag goose, Great ***, Canada Goose, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Coal ***, Cetti’s Warbler, Common Wood Pigeon, Blue ***. 14 different birds not a bad haul.
 

Who said sheep are stupid, if you look carefully these sheep are sheltering from the sun in the shade, mind you I would too if I had a sheepskin coat on.

Good morning all, thank you to eagle eyed @Piethagoram for spotting the mistake in the title of yesterdays thread, you’ve passed the moderators eyesight test congratulations. 

We forgot to book an online shop this week so it’s a rare visit to a supermarket today, then a relaxing day in the garden after our long walk yesterday we need a rest, bbq chicken salad for tea. Yum yum.

Have an enjoyable day everyone and if you are out in the sun put sunscreen on and very importantly wear a hat, a few years ago I had a skin cancer lump dug out of my head and it wasn’t a pleasant experience so be warned.

I watched the F*r*st game it was torrential there but we didn’t get a drop. 

I wish we had the garden needs it.

F*r*st lost 2-0, champions league you’re having a larf.

Usual Thursday walk to local shop was very warm but pleasant,In the afternoon I tidied the back garden grass up a bit.I used my strimmer as there was a lot of twigs and bits of  branch  accumulated over the winter in the grass..I'm hoping to catch up a bit more with the gardening tomorrow by cutting the hedges.
