Was one of those days when you realise how much time has got behind you..

 

Time does be flying Doug. Nice story to start the day on, too.

 

Beach day with grandparents and kids yesterday, bodyboarding in the waves (with wetsuits) for 5 out of the 6, sat in a chair minding the dogs catching mild hypothermia for the remainder. Not fun to watch the elderly turn even elder, but I suppose it's better than the alternative. 

 

Swimming in the Atlantic today (without wetsuits) with a spot booked in a horsebox sauna right next to the water for Granny and me today, then lunch with the whole team.

 

Very tempted to build a sauna on an old trailer I have sat behind the shed, they are a great invention.

37° here today, bloody awful!

Unacceptable, cannot cope.

Sounds lovely peds, enjoy your time with them.

She got the tea but not come back to bed. Bugger. DIY jobs again, just fettling stuff.

 

Annie, Mated, Cartoon.

Morning all,

 

Want to get some hammerite smooth yellow on the little Jo-Beau I am recommissioning. It will be dry before it's off the brush in this heat. Then pressure washing the patio chairs and table, much more fun.

Can you not just water it down a bit... 👀

Hate when that happens. The clock is ticking!

Luckily you. I really miss the sea, having grown up with it within quite easy reach, north and south coasts. It's the worst thing about living in the Midlands, you can't get much further away from the coast! My wetsuit lies in a bag in the loft, neglected but not yet forgotten.

 

Easy garden day at home here. Just me and the lad as she's out for the day. I'm enjoying this hot but sub 30 degree temperature. 25 is about ideal for me.

Not at what hammerite thinners costs.

I just meant water with a tongue firmly in cheek. Been doing a bit of whitewashing lately, that's a nice cheap and easily thinnable substance. 

Might not work for your application, though.
