Please keep that heatwave in Germany , it is warm here, but I absolutely don't want a heatwave like last year....

I am SO jealous!

Summer in the UK has been absolutely dreadful, I think the only sunny week we had was at the beginning of June. Since then, we've pretty much had rain, cloud and wind every day. It's what you'd expect as November weather. On Saturday afternoon, it was relatively warm with a short spell of cloudless sky, and I think everyone was in their back gardens that day, making the most of the sun before the rain returned on Sunday!

There's been floods in many areas with people evacuated from their homes. Thankfully, even though I live in a very flat area, there are no major rivers near enough to have caused flooding where I live. The closest that I have gotten to flooding this year is an inch of water on the lawn (yep, floating on top, the drainage system couldn't cope!) and the drains burst at the riding stables causing a lot of stables to be abandoned as they filled with water.

I don't think we're going to end up with much summer at all here, so send we poor little Brits a chunk of that heatwave, Kirsten!

I'm sorry to hear you have a heatwave, I know how unbearable it is when you live in a flat. We in Denmark seem to be OK for now, we had a little thunderstorm last night, so the temperature is quite pleasant today.

Sticking your feet in a cold bowl of water and having a wet cloth around your neck, sounds like an excellent idea!

Wipe Luna and Lily with wet cloths also.


This is our weather forecast.

It's minus 3 degrees here right now.....at 9.44pm.
I think it will get to minus 10 degrees tonite.

And here's ours:




Isn't it just awful? Well, at least the temperatures will go down a bit the next days, but they say it's gonna be very humid, which ain't no good news.

Miss Z, I think I have to relocate to the UK. LOL Floods, however, is something that no one needs, we often get them too after long periods of heat, and they cause a lot of destruction.

The day at the office was awful, 90°F, and I think I had my head under the faucet at least 10 times today. I could only stand it with wet hair. I also had a wet towel in the freezer of the fridge which I used for my face and neck from time to time.

Now I'm home, and I'm gonna have a long, cool shower now...

It hasn't been super hot here lately, but the last two days I spent baking in a parking lot wearing a lot of leather, so I do sympathize.

Kirsten, I know what you're going through with your heatwave. The heat has settled down in Pittsburgh with the temperature right now at 80 degrees with low (32%) humidity. This is much better on me and my heart.
