Morning, Another Scorcher today, was out at the crack of dawn watering all my pots and tubs before the sun hit them. Back yard was soaking with water running through them. I suppose it will have to be done again tonight.
Been swimming, done the messages, and now got a load of washing to get through, daughter and grandaughter are off on the road back to Dundee don't envy them it's so hot and the sun will be in front of them the whole way. I always try to drive down to Perth on a dull day, it's much more comfortable.
Enjoy your day folks. 🙂

Is the World Cup  fair ?

When I look at this table of penalties could and yellow cards it doesn't look like it .

England has been given more yellow cards than any other team despite others eg Argentina have far more fouls .

Wow.   Bet today's modern stuff won't last that long.

I haven't got anything of my Nan's,  but I have got some of Mum's old knives,  and also a proper china plate my son had as a toddler, given to him by my Mum.   
 It has got a picture of a train in the middle,  so as he took a bit more food the train used to slowly appear.
Mum had put a note on it saying  "This plate is over 100 yrs old.  Get it valued."   :smiley:

Quote from: muddy on Today at 07:52:39 AMIt was 38 degrees in my garden yesterday .
I have never known such heat in the U.K. .
My lawn is developing huge great cracks .
I've really had more than enough of it Muddy,  so have the poor dogs.

My lawn is getting deep cracks now too.   I poured some water down a crack yesterday, expecting it to quickly fill and run out the top,  but it didn't.   
The water just kept disappearing down the crack fast,  so it must be very deep.    I stopped wasting the water in the end because it just continued to disappear down the hole like it was going to Australia.
