Well, it's almost July, and summer is very much here. What are you planning to do today? Traditional Sunday roast, doing a bit of cooking outside, or going out to eat? Another sunny day is forecast, so let us know what you'll be getting up to.

  2. The washing… it’s been muggy and drizzly the last couple of days but today should be fine and warm. Had planned a roast but made curry yesterday so will probably just have the leftovers

  3. Off to the dog park with my pups in a minute – I’m melting already. I fucking hate the hot weather.

  4. Going to the market early to get a few things, then retreating to somewhere with air conditioning and food to avoid the afternoon heat.

  6. Currently chilling in bed, going to get up soon, shower. Then go visits my parents with the puppy for a bit. Back home and wait for my husband to come in, having tiny chicken salad for dinner. 

  7. Clean the car, weed the garden, do the shopping, maybe push the hoover around 

  8. Working.

    Yesterday wasn’t too bad, resident just wanted to sit in her room and watch TV yesterday, and can’t be left on her own for more than a few minutes, so TRAGICALLY, I had to sit in there with her and, well, watch TV, although left her to herself for a few minutes occasionally to grab drinks/wash up, sternly telling her to NOT MOVE (she’s a good egg, just forgets she falls if she tries for independence). She likes quiz shows, Come Dine with Me and Four in a Bed, all of which I can absolutely cope with when being paid to watch ’em (screaming narcissists running round in bikinis or designer gear not so much … ew).

    Hopefully will be able to keep as cool as possible today too 🙂

  9. Runswick Bay for a paddle and stroll with the kids and pup first things then home in time for my 8 year old to go to a birthday party in the village hall, which kicks off exactly the same time as the grand Prix. So looks like I’ve got the TV to myself.

    My one criticism of my favourite beach is it’s seriously lacking coffee options. The cafe there is rubbish.

  10. I’m working all day.

    My work is moving me on the shop floor due to my new contract after six years to work on stock and I’m quite nervous! I rarely do shop floor due to my current department but I hope it will be fine. It’s only for one day per week. The other days I’m back in my normal department

  11. Off to [Satanic Flea Market](https://baphomart.com/satanic-flea-market/) in search of cool goth shit.

    Although this one is interesting as it’s being held in a different location so I’m navigating somewhere I’ve never been before. Also hopping the sun doesn’t murder me today

    (It’s hard to be a goth in this weather)

    (it’s also hard to be on adhd meds in this weather)

  12. Not a lot. Lying in bed, full of cold (big thanks to my daughter for bring home the lurgy!). Getting up in 10 minutes or so to walk the dog and then collapse for the rest of the day!

  13. I’m packing my suitcase for my upcoming 8 day trip to London, undecided on whether I should take my own tin mug to use in the hotel, I often find hotel mugs are too small for my liking, especially in this weather.

  14. Had a fun night last night, resulting in a 1.40am return home and I now have no voice!

    I need to hoover and change the bedsheets today and put some washing on. Then I’ll chill until 5.30pm when I get to see my poorly kitty at the vet’s.

  15. I’m running (and most likely walking) the Newmarket 10k this morning which is my first ever proper 10k run. There’s a cheesecake in the fridge with my name on it for post-run recovery.

  16. I’m on the second day of a three day weekend I’ve arranged for myself – yesterday I did some light shopping for some things I needed and had lunch out.

    Today I’m probably staying in and having a clear out of old clothes that don’t fit anymore, and maybe starting the second of the three books I bought the other week now I’ve finished the first

    My review on Friday also didn’t quite live up to my expectations. They’re happy with what I’m doing, but according to the head of department none of us on my team have been doing anything we shouldn’t have already been doing anyway (despite the fact that what we were doing was extra and not in our job description), so there were no promotions or raises all round.

    I’ve been looking for a new job recently anyway and had been waiting to see what they would say in the review, so I might also go back to looking again if I get time

  17. Swimming this morning, jazz band rehearsal this afternoon. I miss playing so it’s good to get back in the swing (pardon the pun).

  18. Off to see me old mum. I haven’t visited for a couple of weeks because I was sick, so we’re overdue a good natter. I might see if she’s up to walking to the park and treat her to an ice cream 🙂

  19. Need to cut the grass. I’ve been away a few weeks and its shot up. But, its already very warm and I have a roast later. Maybe it can wait.

  20. Watching the f1 at a mates. I’ve never been a fan but it’s some common ground for a regular catch up so it’s worth trying to get into

  22. I spent 5 hours in the garden yesterday destroying the manky old shed. Got most of it done, just gotta do a few more hours pulling apart the roof and the overgrowth.

    I thought it was going to be a long job but the wood was so rotted it pretty much fell apart in my hands with a few whacks with a mallet.

    Got a nice big juice blister on my toe now though, probably should’ve worn my boots not trainers. Still, I’m quite happy with it so far.

  23. Improv group later. Right now enjoying a double shot coffee and recovering from the war zone that was my child’s bedroom this morning. Autistic, doubly incontinent, I’ll let your imagination do the rest. Later on I’m painting head 4 in my 100 heads sketchbook.

  24. Kicking off my marathon training with an 18k this morning. I should have started a lot sooner, but the one I signed up for on Friday is in October so I have to literally hit the ground running.

    I’m currently looking for podcasts for distraction. I love Off Menu and No Such Thing As A Fish. I’m not enamoured by the thought of running podcasts or anything too factual or serious.

    Think I’m going to try out the John Robins and Elis James one.

  25. Village fair today – get the feeling I am going to roast

  26. Just been down the shop for croissants.

    Not sure what we’re doing today really, probably just pottering. Maybe the park. Some housework and homework. We might lift the fence panel up so our kid and the neighbours kids can come and go for a couple of hours.

  27. Yesterday I did well sorting some old clothes out. Everything is pretty much in its rightful place and not stuffed in open drawers….

    Except now my clean washing I’ve done the last 2 days is a massive pile I have no room for

    My husband tried to host a BBQ on the beach yesterday but the wind killed it and frankly made us give up on the BBQ we have tried to use the last couple of times so he’s looking to buy a better one. Unfortunately he had not cleaned it well the last time so cleaned it in the bath yesterday which is filthy so I’m going to have to clean the bath at the very least if not the whole bathroom which I’ll definitely get around to finishing the next couple of days on top of sorting clothes.

    I got paid this week and was hoping to snoop around town a little this weekend but frankly after the success of clearing the bedroom, all windows open, when sorting the clothes out being able to wear just my smalls all day to keep cool, I’m actually keen to carry on just as a way to keep cool. I really, REALLY don’t like the heat and the house feels stuffy unless I clean it.

  28. Lazy morning while the washing machine goes, then I’ll be walking into town for a fitness class, then grabbing some lunch and strolling home. If I’m lucky, I might get a nap this afternoon!
