We had one of those nothing days!
Played at childrens centre this morning, came home and played in the water in the shade. Collected DD from a school and took her for a dance exam, along with picnic lunch. Back to school then home for a sleep. LOs collected then picked 3 up afterschool ... we all lay under the tree and ate tea there! Carried on lying there until mindees all collected!
Have 101 things i ought to be doing .. but really can't be bothered ☺

Roll on the rainclouds
We had half a dozen huge drops of rain around 10.30 and that has been it! It's still warm, but has got windy! And it now it looks like storm clouds are gathering. :-) love a good storm .. But not at school run time so I expect it to arrive in the next 45 minutes!

it windier and slightly cloudier but still scorchio here ...day 3 of having the waterslide in the garden for entertainment!

It's been hotter here today than it was yesterday and the children have really struggled.
We played outside till lunchtime, but they had no energy at all this afternoon so we ended up watching a DVD after lunch. We stayed indoors all afternoon and they weren't happy at home time when they had to go back out in the heat. I sent them all home with drinks of water to keep them going.
Why is it we have to have either torrential rain for weeks or blazing heat for a few days? Why can't we have nice 'in between' weather when it's warm enough to stay outside all day, but not too hot that we're all wilting in the heat?

We've had all he windows open day and night, and I'm finding several varieties of creepy crawlies in the house. In hate them.

And here comes the torrential rain!
I just had time to dash out into the garden and grab the toys before they got drenched. It's much cooler now, so I hope it stays like this long enough for my heat headache to clear

Still warm here and no rain.
Another lovely day- found a really shady part of the nature reserve with cool wind through the trees to hold a mini sports day. Did it at 8.45 so not too warm for all that running.
Last day for two of my LO's so rather in a demob mood.
It looks like for some the heatwave is over but the government have put out some me info to help us!

Thank you for sharing the info FloraDora.
Still very hot and sunny here but slightly cooler than yesterday. Spent ages testing 'weight' with feathers etc placed in front of the fan to see what floats and blows away. Lo's aged 3&4 and thorough risk assessment done before hand and never left alone with the fan!

Why does it always rain on the school run?!

Mine took forever to clear last night, but luckily it's much cooler today and the headache has stayed away.
Make sure you keep sipping water

Been hot today where I was, but not so bad. Mostly cos I've been in the car for 4 hours with the air con turned up high I did pop over to see an old old friend this morning and he had us sitting out in the yard - I never ever sit outside - and now I have a bit of a pink shoulder :O I've never had anything like a sun burn ever, but really didn't expect to be sat outdoors for a couple of hours in direct sunlight. Still, seeing my old friend was definitely worth the slight pickness. My son got to go up to the attic and play with the model railway I used to play with as a kid , and he got to see his amazing new school.

First full day of summer hols here in Kent and although it's cloudier it's still really warmer. Spent the day at penshurst and have been slapping on the factor 50 all day! Just been for my Pilates class which seemed so much harder because of the humidity
