Been 32 in shade here most of the day, I had the windows open all night last night, got the house down to 20c then at 7am I shut all windows and curtains to keep the heat out, house is now say at 25c... Outside still around 28-30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My back was burned to hell( nobody had heard of skin cancer in 1976, ) and my nan was rubbing vaseline over my back and shoulders ( probably cooking me even more). The thing that I most remember about that year , is the plague of ladybirds . The roads , pavements, and cars , were blanketed with them , and you crunched as you walked along the street . I remember standing on the beach at weston , and all that you could see for miles , was ladybirds. Or the plague of aphids that proceeded them.

mel b3 Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 God its been awful at work this morning. Even the young super fit guys , that have no problem doing 15 miles behind the lorries , have really struggled. The public have been really nice to us, and we're very grateful to them . since 6.30am this morning they've been bringing out , cold cans of pop, bottles of water , ice lols , and cornettos. I feel sorry for the builders etc that are still outside working in it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have shot pigeons in hot weather when I was a lot younger but I have got to be honest I cannot remember shooting in heat like the last few days and especially today, but........to the two lads who have been shooting a couple of Barley fields near me for the last 4 days, well done for sticking it out in this weather, must be mad. About half a mile from my house there's been two young chaps shooting on a couple of barley stubble fields for the last four days, they started at 8am Saturday and stopped around 7pm and they have been doing the same every day, Saturday they were popping away for most of the day, if they hit everything they shot at I would think they would have a considerable bag to pick up, Sunday very similar pattern but longer gaps between shots, Monday they started about 8.30am till about 7.30pm, the shots were about every 20-30 minutes or so, today Tuesday the 19 July, I heard the first pop abut 7.30am, think they have just about shot the fields out as the shots are about every 30-40 minutes and sometimes a bit longer, they are still there now as I have just heard a pop…...pop.
