I have no biological waste it all goes into my compost bin .
The bins all have black bags and the bin men just wheel them about 2 ft to the grab that heaves them into the truck .

It's going on for five o clock and the temperature here is 35.5.

The very plants are gasping .

Was Bert melting?  He was stuck to the chair
His skin was all damp and so was his hair

36°  here.    Another awful night for sleeping.   
I just don't want to do anything I should be doing.

I think they did.

35 here..

It's an international site that takes data from compatible personal weather stations from all over the world. Despite being international as it's hosted by the septics it defaults to F which probably only they use now.

Using it means you don't need an app to store the data and it gives all sorts of reporting options. I mostly just use it so I can either moan that it hasn't rained for [insert number] weeks or has dumped [insert number] inches of rain on me since last Tuesday. I say mostly that should be sometimes as I rarely look at it at all.

'Gerroff  woman ! Wotcha doin?'
Just when I was about to start wooing
A pan this way
Is not foreplay
Just when I was billing and cooing

While I was there the other week he showed me a video he'd taken of the food waste bin. He couldn't figure out how to actually send it to me or I'd have been able to gross you all out with it by putting it on Youtube. It wasn't just a few maggots it was heaving with them overflowing down the front to the path.

How revolting.
Mind you,  if it wasn't so damn hot the birds would swoop down and be very grateful for the feast.

You are right about the silence of the birds, Scrumps,  I have noticed the same.

Why do those bloomin' Pigeons always poo in the bird baths?  
They have a drink,  then turn round, poo in the water  then fly off.
So I have to put fresh water in again for the smaller birds that come.
