with thunder forecast in the next couple of days I gave the ront garden a run over this morning so all grass is cut and strimmed.
The temps rose as the morning went along so a lunch outside was on again.
I was joined by the cats of course careering around like things demented.
As the afternoon progressed the temps changed from warm to hot and for a long spell this afternoon hit 80f. That may not be hot to a lot of people but in this part of the world in May that is sub tropical.

My skin was beginning to feel the heat so I found a bottle of lotion Ellen had left and gave my exposed parts a covering,donned my sun hat and sat contented doing a crossword.
After a while it was beginning to feel uncomfortably hot thats when I too to the lifeboat and came inside followed by Sooty. Black cats don't deal with heat well.
I slirped an icecream helped of course by Sooty and the newly arrived Zazles.
Refreshed I grabbed a beer from the firidge and ventured out again.until it was time to make dinner. The cats had wandered off on a mission so thankfully they weren't there to help.
The thunder is comeing from the south so Jenny and Fran are likely to get if first,hoefullt they will use it all up although we do need rain but as Fran mentioned not too much
