I agree, just resting at Condom a cold glass of rosé at my elbow, yes it is warm BUT I LIKE IT tomorrow I will fix my bits and sadly head North towards that "temperate climate" they kept filling our heads with when I was a kid.

Roll on retirement, I can cope with this!

just resting at Condom

Not very far from my place then. Gers is next door!
Been really hot here too, and I was on Gate duty...opening shutting every minute or so. The firm's "children" were coming back from holidays . All the parents were there to great the 2 coaches!! Two hours operating the bloomin' gate!!! Now inside the house where it's all dark due to all shutters shut , but it's all cool.... while JJ is cycling to the supermarket...

We are in La Suze sur Sarthe. 38° in the shade today, managed to keep the van to 36° but it's too hot for me and our sausage is definitely a hot dog today but she's coping okay.

Spent three hours this morning directing traffic onto a roundabout just ouside Carcassonne where our van decided that the clutch didn't want to play any more ,right on the dotted line onto the roundabout,boy was that hot and I don't think a lot of fre check men love me anymore.
Van now in an iveco dealer and we are in a room in the local formula 1 waiting for the bad news at least we now have time to do the place properly.

Everything feels worse when it is so hot....In 2009 we picked up a new (for us) car which broke down in Orleans on May Day, it was 35C and we stood on a street corner for hours waiting for a recovery truck with everything closed...and another hour or two for a taxi to take us to a car hire office for our replacement car..

Hope your repair in the end is as simple as ours was all though years ago!

Yes, the very same. Just to add to our woes, my brother who is having treatment for lung cancer, has just been told that one of his kidneys is kaput as well, life ain't fair sometimes.

So sad for your brother , our best wishes to you all.
The N&N and its staff has been good to me in recent years , hope you are sorted soon .

 

[Irishrover]

Will be over in France and Spain in the 6th August.....My Border Collie is used to Irish weather!....Looks like we'll be doing a lot of swimming to keep cool...

 

[Ven]

Well our thermometer tells me it's 29° in and 23° out. At this time of night! Apologies to the sun worshippers but I hope it doesn't get much hotter.

@Ven Unfortunately , I 've got to tell you you'll have to suffer the hottest day today. Going up to 40° in some places in West France. I've opened all the windows at 5.30 to try and get some cool air in so that Little Rosie can have her afternoon nap without suffering the heat.

As soon as the sun will show up .... shutters and windows will be closed.

Fan is on already so the cool air goes everywhere....

Don't forget to drink a lot of WATER (hot tea is good as well!), forget about alcohol, white clothes on and keep your hat on!

 

[Anthea M]

Wiill do thanks!! It's going to be a hot one inSheffield!! Not 40 c but hot for us!! Factor 30 sun cream for me !
How are JJs lettuces coping in the heat? Wilting yet?!

 

[yodeli]

I shall pass on your worry about his lettuces onto JJ ..... I must say I have been too busy to ask him!
