Sitting on the sofa...a nice cup of tea and a fan blowing...

Brave man...

Some idiot on an estate near me, had a fire in his garden, left it smouldering, it set fire to his house and four others!

Brilliant Alex, I hope it doesn't make him a target for the Pro Pal mob. 

A really good song.

Thanks for that Ashy, I hadn't seen the Cloughie clip, what a character he was.
RIP Bill Oddie.

We had bottle green knickers for school, also had to wear a toga for sports .  Thinking about it I hated all sports at school apart from maybe netball.    We also had' indoor' shoes which we had to wear at all times in the school, they were a bit like Mary Jane shoes only more clodhopper ..ish.

I hated maths too the teacher was a former SS member I think.  I loved English and French.

Only 25 degrees here at the moment, feels hotter in the house though.    

Sounds as bad as how the donkeys abroad are treated,  Muddy.
I have to mute all those donkey adverts on the telly because its so upsetting.
I have supported the donkey sanctuary for years,  but I can't watch those adverts.

Anyway,  back to the fires.   
There has been a wildfire burning  in Derbyshire,  near the Peak district, too.

It was heavy cloud since early,  so quite nice and cool,   but I see the cloud is all breaking up now and blue sky is on its way.    

They are saying it will peak around 33 - 35°  on Wednesday,  then slowly start getting cooler  -  until next week,  when it will start all over again!
