Yorkshire Phil Posted July 30 #60776 Share Posted July 30 Another cracking day here, hardly a cloud to be seen and a nice 22oC. We had a guided tour of the mountain route of the TT course with a visit to a church where the government body passes their laws and a potted history of the island. As they say every day is a school day. Sadly we are leaving tomorrow with an early start to catch the 09:00 ferry. We have had a great holiday and have been blessed with the weather, which seemingly isn't always good. The food has been excellent albeit limited choice. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted July 30 #60777 Share Posted July 30 I just had the most ridiculous text conversation with my great-niece. She has been out with 5 of her friends and she sent me a Snapchat of 6 14 year olds doing karaoke while waiting for their parents to pick them up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eddie99 Posted July 31 #60779 Share Posted July 31 Morning all. Just popping in for a quick hello - it’s too hot to do a lot. Here’s a cool coast picture 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalos Posted July 31 #60780 Share Posted July 31 Morning .a bright sunny start here but the last one for a while and the last day of this month as well. Mrs K plans to cut the grass today but hold off watering any plants as it will have plenty when the rains are back tomorrow. We will make sure the garden birds have plenty of water to drink though. Have a good day and take care . 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Hill Posted July 31 #60781 Share Posted July 31 (edited) Up early this morning around 5:30 as the egg and ham salad followed by chocolate cupcake with ice cream appears to have made my stomach go woah! A cup of peppermint teas has helped ease the discomfort. Sunny start to the day currently 16C expected to rise to possibly 30C this afternoon. There is a risk of rain in early hours of tomorrow, but the daytime forecast is for more warm sunshine, that will help ripen my tomatoes. I plan to cut the hedge this morning as long as it is not too hot, I checked yesterday to see any birds still nesting there and found zero nests, so I can tidy up the rather untidy hedge.

Have a good day and take care . For us the forecast has changed the last 24 hrs or so. After a disappointingly cloudy day for much of yesterday the forecast for today is dry until Monday except Friday night, even though there is a thunder storm warning out for tomorrow they are only showing a 10% chance here. Im watching the Olympic women’s triathlon at the moment and the men’s is now scheduled for 9.45 today. I’ve noticed that several words now drop the ‘ing’ by some people, swimming cap they call swim cap, chasing group - chase group, in motor sport racing car - race car etc… 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindyloo22 Posted July 31 #60784 Share Posted July 31 Good morning all, 20c here but no sun at the moment, taking the dog for a walk soon before it gets to hot. think I will take him in for a swim at the beach. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut006 Posted July 31 #60785 Share Posted July 31 Good morning everyone, hope you are all ok today. Nothing much planned today except a bit of shopping for my mum, a trip to the gym and usual household stuff. Its a lovely morning, hubby just gone on the beach with the dogs. Have a nice day everyone Michelle 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel57 Posted July 31 #60786 Share Posted July 31 Good morning. After a ridiculously warm evening and night (altho we had some rain around 5am) it is starting to warm up again now. Freddie has been walked early and will no doubt be asking for his lunch soon! We were going into Surrey today for a picnic with friends and to visit my Mum’s grave (17 years ago today she passed), but I think she will be pleased I opted to stay at home in the relative cool. I’m also watching the triathlon this morning but I also thoroughly enjoyed the tennis and the swimming last night (at one point I had tv on for tennis and ipad on for the swimming!). Have a good day everyone. Gill x 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted July 31 #60787 Share Posted July 31 Morning to you all, Looking out this morning when I got up, it looked as though we have had rain overnight again. It's currently 19c down here at present with partly sunny skies, and expected to get warmer. Nothing exciting planned, just the normal chores and finish reading my book in the garden later. Hope everyone has a good day. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Phil Posted July 31 #60788 Share Posted July 31 We are on our way home, we left Douglas at 08:45, sea state is force three and calm. There isn't a cloud to be seen but cool on the back of the ferry as we are out of the sun. Our friends texted to ask if we fancied a BBQ at theirs this evening so that tops off the holiday and no cooking again. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey16 Posted July 31 #60790 Share Posted July 31 Good morning all , it’s lovely blue skies and 22 at the moment reaching 37 today. I went to visit my sister yesterday in Fareham and went out to lunch , it was so big it was my breakfast, lunch, dinner rolled into one . What normally takes me a 50 minute run to home took me 3 hours yesterday after a accident on the M27 in 33c heat , it was very hot yesterday. Tomorrow I have a small op on my big toe for a ingrown toenail, so having it sliced off a bit and I’m not looking forward to that , plenty of rest afterwards to watch more of the Olympics 😁 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that op on toe nearly 50 years ago and never suffered again! Yes, feet up after! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Hill Posted July 31 #60794 Share Posted July 31 Went to cut the hedge this morning and the hedge cutter didn’t start, only then did I realise I had plugged the battery charger in at 8am, but forgot to switch it on. 🤦♂️ It’s now 26C and too hot to cut the hedge which is currently in full sun. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to cut my walk short earlier and go along a back lane because I found it too hot at 25° to do the full walk today. We shouldn't moan though, tomorrow is predicted to be 23° with a chance of rain in the morning. I will be bowling tomorrow evening so I can almost guarantee rain from 6 to 8pm even though the forecast says only a very slight chance. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother in law did that with her cordless Dyson, she was about to buy a new Dyson because it had 'gone dead'. We had it to look at it, charged it and it worked OK. After a week had gone by again it wasn't working and 'must have a fault' 'might as well a get new one', we went round and she was plugging it in but forgetting to switch it on 🤣 That was 3 years ago and still going strong and faultless since 🤞 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gettingwarmer Posted July 31 #60797 Share Posted July 31 Went to Oulten Broads yesterday and took these photos of the sailing boats. The reflections look lovely on the water. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royallondon Posted July 31 #60798 Share Posted July 31 Thank you for posting these photo’s, they bring back fond memories. My Father was in Broadlands care home for 8 years before his passing in 2022. Broadlands is just left of the photos you have posted and had its own jetty. He loved to sit in his wheelchair just watching the boats passing by. I suspect you were in Nicholas Everitt Park, a lovely place.
