    Good afternoon all :)

    Its much cooler down here today which is lovely! Does anybody have any weekend plans? I'm going to watch Moulin Rouge musical in Bristol tomorrow, not seen it before but looking forward to it!

    How has your day been so far @Teigr?

    Sorry to hear you're struggling @luvpink, its a horrible and overwhelming time at the moment with all the benefit uncertainty. I really hope you will be feeling a bit better soon, have you got support around you to help during this time?

    Hopefully you won't be waiting too much @Amberpearl, did they give you a timeline of when you could expect an appointment to come through?

    Thats the ideal weather @Elvisdog. Warm enough to not wear a jacket or jumper but cool enough to still enjoy the sun!

    Lucky you! 16C, strong winds, and drizzle here in my part of Angus.

    I see you have 23C, but you are getting some rain soon, too.

    Feeling a bit like Michael Fish here, but our humidity is 81%, and Birmingham is 40%, so now you know!

    @Ranald yes we have some stronger but warm wind today. We are expecting rain over the weekend but my plants and the wildlife (i have hoglets in the garden) definitely need it, though I hope it isn't a deluge.

    I hope you get some pleasant warmer weather soon.

    We got a warm week back in May, I expect that was the summer!

    It's no surprise that a more northerly latitude is cooler, what with cold air sweeping down from Greenland (Hopefully not soon to be known as Trumpland).

    I think the temperature here is actually more "normal". I bet Mid and Southern England didn't experience weeks of high temperatures in years gone by. Certainly not in June/early July. ( I am guessing, I haven't studied it)

    Good afternoon everyone from windy Newcastle County Down. The caravan must be well tethered at least!

    @Elvisdog lucky you having hoglets in your garden!

    @Marydoll5 yes we have had hedgehogs for several years, my garden is 3 theirs and the higher one is overgrown with blackberry bush's , ivy and other weeds and grasses makes great cover for them. Lovely to see.

    @Ranald last year we had a very dry late summer, very little rain. The arey already mentioning saving water and pipe ban's. My water bill has more than doubled last few years.

    Hello all. It is still a bit too hot. In special inside the room but better.

    I have an issue. I am filing in the form on line for the transition to universal credit. But as I fill in the sections. The sections disappear. I thought it would give me the option to review every section again but apparently I can't. I need to add up stuff on the conditions I have bit i am not sure why I can not. Will it give the chance to review all the answers once I finish with the form or will I have to ask them in the journal on for permition to add up stuff.

    I don't trust them and I hate the idea of reaching them unless I have no choice. And I mean no choice. Thanks for your help

    Had to go to the podiatrist today as I have hallux rigidus in both big toes and the joint hypermobility syndrome in the top part of my feet, plus flat feet which I have insoles for

    I was explaining that I'm in pain, and it hurts, feels like it burns. Also that my toes sublex , she was very off with me. Don't use medical words, how does it feel ,even though I told her. I said also it effects my legs and knees .I don't want to hear about it her reply. Which to me they are connected especially the joint hypermobility part.

    Had my copd review yesterday, got to have new inhaler

    @Ranald the picture is a hedgehog, was replying to Marydol5. We have hedgehogs in the garden, my water bill doesn't make for a pleasant picture. Lol.

    We don't have water bills in Scotland is what I meant, I know that you lot get fleeced by private water companies, only interested in their shareholders.

    They didn't @Albus_Scope ,we actually had no phone for three days.When we told them we wanted to keep our old number they said it would take two days to sort out.

    That was last Saturday.๐Ÿ™„

    Good morning btw.

    It's Carnival Day here and the weather is less than ideal.

    I don't think we've ever had hedgehogs in our garden.

    Unless they're very sneaky ones.

    @Ranald yes !

    We got the caravan when my husband was recovering from major brain surgery last year. Best decision ever and less than an hours travelling from home.

    @Elvisdog that's a great photo. It's lovely having hedgehogs about.

    @Teigr hope you enjoy carnival day despite the weather.

    @Schildpad I feel your frustration. Filling in online forms can be very trying.

    It is still really windy here 24 hours later. I'm going for an ice cream this afternoon anyway ๐Ÿ˜‹

    It's dry @Marydoll5 ,but very windy.

    The procession actually sets off from our street,so I could watch most of it from my bedroom if I wanted to.

    I hope you and your husband are well.
