Cait in response to your question:

There was an old woman called Susan
Who became more liquid than human
The sun was so hot
She melted on the spot
Her presence was just an allusion

Need I say more lol

Genius Sue!

We are really busy here...watching Clarkson's Farm 🤣

One of the friends that I was due to meet up with tomorrow rang earlier and said "do you think we should cancel because of the heat"... not sure what to do

Really enjoyed this latest season of Clarksons farm although some of it is quite sad and how farmers make a living when they don't have thousands added to the coffers from doing the day job like clarkson farm with money from him doing Millionaire etc is beyond me.

Re your friend - is the weather still mega hot where you are again tomorrow?

It is looking like it now - I was really hoping that we might get some rain tonight and a lower temp tomorrow - I need to be sensible about this she is 10 years my senior

Not sure about your area, but we're forcast another hot one tomorrow (although only low 30s!)   I cancelled a meet-up Wednesday due to a lot of places closing early together with restricted menus. Might be better as it's a weekend though- rather than mid week?

Wow, I had a lot to catch up on. I’m sorry I’ve missed the last couple of weeks Friday roll call. No reason at all for this, except to say the weeks seem to be flying by like someone has pressed fast forward.  All good down here, very hot but I know we are lucky as we have been almost 10 degrees cooler most days. It’s still way too hot for me though. I’ve been walking dogs at 6:30, showering, going to work, showering, all interspersed with hot flushes! I should be so slim (I’m not)  We had a storm last night but it hasn’t broken the weather and today was sticky and hot.  Hope you all get some respite from the intense heat soon. Xx

You can say that again!!!! 

Good to here all's well with you though xx

Who had the storms last night - my goodness it was all very dramatic!

Lunch date is going ahead - it is so difficult to find a date that we can all make so another reason that I was reluctant to reschedule - it's a bit cooler (so far) so hopefully be okay (fingers crossed).

Mr S seems (touch wood) a bit better today so he can manage without his 'caring fairy' for a couple of hours...

Have a lovely all x

I hope the caring fairy enjoys her lunch, sounds like she deserves it. Tell Mr S to behave himself while you are gone.

I think the heat has shifted up a bit, we've still got another hot day.   Really hope you enjoy your lunch, I know what you mean about finding dates for everything! 😊

I got up to watch the storm, but it was nothing like the one during the week for us just flashes and distant rumbles.

'Tis Saturday! Sorry I missed yesterday - so good to check in and see updates from lots of you!

Sunnyday - I'm glad the caring fairy got to go out - hope you enjoyed your catch up.

Sue - loved the poem, that describes me exactly!

Zigzag and Louby - no storms here yet. I'm hoping for one today!

School for three days this week was interesting - we did lots of things like closing blinds, paddling feet and 'forcing' water on small people but the relentless heat and increasing tiredness due to broken nights' sleep was making for some very hot and bothered people (both the adults and the small ones). I was due to work on Thursday too but the school cancelled as they'd had so many absent due to heat the previous day - to be honest I was relieved!

I spent 2 very slow days, doing a few jobs early in the morning and hiding in darkened rooms the rest of the day. It is, thankfully, a little cooler and we have a little breeze today.

I'm feeling a little sorry for myself this weekend - 2 days of a really sore throat has become a definite sniffle and then this morning I slipped on an unnoticed wet patch in my kitchen and fell over - wrench my shoulder and think I'll probably have a good couple of bruises next week. It could have been a lot worse though!

I've done the usual Saturday jobs plus a little planning for next week at school and have now taken myself to the sofa where I will either read a book or knit some more socks (small and not sticky unlike the crochet blanket!).

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Oh froglet, do hope you feel better soon. Rotten to be feeling poorly in this weather. Look after that shoulder, scary how quickly a fall can happen.
