Morning all, well yesterday was dreadful weather. My car said it was 19C, but the wind made it really cold. Today is supposed to be warmer, unfortunately with wind in the afternoon then it’s all downhill for the next week or so. Our summer is effectively over. Global warming eh...anyway, I hope you all enjoy your day whatever the weather…..

Absolutely gorgeous here today with an excellent forecast for today and tomorrow but then thunderstorms on Sunday and the temperature due to to drop by 10° next week so this looks like the last blast of summer.

At least there's no Everton to ruin the weekend .
 
Good morning all on this sunny day here .I hope all are well and had a good night . Nothing much happening other than stocking the sauna wood ,my wife's idea to store it under the benches to dry it even more before we use it ,after all the heat when we have left is sort of wasted so it makes sense .We have a new stove and it is a lot faster warming up than the last one .It always amazes me that even basic items are always under development ,yes mostly to save money but often to improve the efficiency .
Have a great day all COYB

We are due a lovely 24° today by 3pm. Not that I need an excuse for a Friday beer mind you.
 

Me and Mrs J had a lovely day out yesterday.

We went to Sefton Park and had a guided tour and talk about the Palm House. Really interesting, never knew that the Suffragettes tried to blow it up and only denied by the weather and that the Swedish scientist who invented botanical names for plants was guilty of scientific racism.

Anyway afterwards we toddled off to our old haunt of Lark Lane. The Albert , Keith's , Maramtos going strong. Still busy even at 4 pm and had a lovely Turkish lunch ( Imam and barbequed Seabass for me - with a glass of water you will be impressed to hear ) £30 for the 2 of us. Bargain and great food.

Mind you the drive home via Queens Drive was a nightmare.
 
Morning all from sunny Zákynthos! It’s been low 30s here, very humid with a little cloud. Still no baby news and I’ve got my phone on loud and close by 24/7. The internet here is a bit sketchy, but the ouzo is just as delicious as ever which is why I’m still in bed at 9.30 local time. Below is the view from our room early yesterday morning.
Have a great Friday everyone 💙🇬🇷

Yeah now that's a problem for me! Sunny Friday usually means a beer and few glasses of vino in the garden...and then tomorrow a couple of pints at the cricket...but it's sober September pour moi so no pouring of wine

Now technically, if you are not affected by alcohol, I.e. not drunk, you remain sober…just trying to give you an out if needed……

Abstaining is really not that easy on the days that you are used to having a tipple. Having said that, when I am being good, I love that Saturday morning feeling of a clear head with the whole day ahead of me.
