        Can't understand it
        Dull and rainy here all day and little heat. And we had been promised a hot summers day too. We had arranged a BBQ and finished up having it in the garage :(
        Apart from a few days in April we have been having almost incessant rain.
        Have I been a bad boy?

        Very misty here by the coast in Sussex. Can't even see the sea from the terrace.:scratch: Yesterday started cool and overcast but we went to Maidstone and it was a scorcher of an afternoon. Perhaps today will be the same.

        Set the TV up in the garden under a sun shade. All you need is an extension lead and an umbrella.


        Im spending the day on the water and in the pub.

          110°F in the polytunnel this morning, and that's with all the vents plus the door left open overnight.

          I did think about that, one of the kids tv's has a built in digiview, but no Aerial, I've got a reel of coax, but I'm NOT going into the loft to connect it in this heat, I'm settling for a little of both, its only two hours n the sun will be still be out when the F1's over:yess:

            Fairly hot here in Suffolk, we're about 10 miles from the coast and there's just enough sea breeze at present to keep it comfortable. :dbgrtmb:
            Was going to watch F1, but I think I'll sit out in the garden for a while and watch the grass grow instead, far more exciting........:D
