What are you up to on this beautiful Saturday?

[lucysmam]

We're going to town for a couple of hours' wander, shortly, before it gets too hot. Then home & most likely chill in the shade I think.

Need to convince DD1 that she really really doesn't need to wear leggings, a hoody, and her boots, first though (she's not far off 13 & apparently they're the "only clothes" she has ).

Tea will be something with chips, dd2 discovered yesterday that Asda sell chip spice similar to what take-aways use on their chips

I have several loads of washing to do, and there's a pile of pots staring at be but they can wait.

What about you lot? :)

I’ve walked the dog for 3 miles through the woods and that’s it. I’m going to sit in front of the fan for the rest of the day.

I’ve had a lie in and a shower courtesy of DP. DS has been fed and the pots washed while I was snoozing.
Dp’s gone to pick up DSD and we’re going strawberry picking at a local farm before it gets too hot. Then home for a bbq.

It looks like it might rain here actually. The last 2 days have been very hot and sunny.
We've had a lazy morning and haven't decided what to do yet.

Going out to London to see ds in a play. I love heat- but not in London. Not looking forward to it at all.....

As little as humanly possible after being in a&e till 3am with my sister
Then my toddler woke me up at 6:30am

Pass me the match sticks

Going to see toy story 4 (early bird) and to buy planters for the garden and spend the afternoon bbq wine and gardening while dc play.

I was hoping to sit in the sun all day but its misty now. Persuaded DH we need a new TV so we might pop to Currys later. DDs are working this evening so I’ll be a taxi. DS off to play.

We've had thunder, lightening, rain and hail so far this morning. I'm going to put on a jumper and do some housework.

Just going to hang some bedding out.
Today will be enjoying the sunshine, doing some bits in the garden and watching Glastonbury tonight

Have filled the car with the first tip load of garden waste. DH and I have spent the last two weeks of leave trying to get our garden to blank canvas state and we are so close now. Off to Godson’s first birthday party which will be good but otherwise finding lots of shade!

It’s very warm but cloudy here. Taking dd to drama whilst I have a coffee and read. Attacking the garden that is doing its best to turn into a jungle and planting up my pots. Some washing and food shopping too. No sure what to have for tea yet...

We are going to a local council community day. Last year they were criticised for not enough provisions regarding the heat-not enough shade or water available so am hoping they took it on board for this year. When the heat gets too much, dh will bring ds2 home and i’ll go cinema with ds1 to see toy story 4.

Tell me more about this chip spice please OP??!

I’m currently sunbathing topless at my (not overlooked!) kitchen window, DH is handling the toddler. Then just lots of time in the shade I think.

I love heat- but not in London

BertrandRussell I love London - but not in the heat!

I'm heading into London too.

Washing is on and im sat in the garden with a coffee, phone and kindle and thats where I plan to stay

@EssentialHummus this stuff.

It's a whole pound & located near the herbs and spices. There's a spicy version too but dd2 isn't keen on spicy stuff so we didn't get that :)

Washing is done and out on the line. Off to town shortly to collect DPs new spectacles. I need to pop into work on the way past to check on a couple of things then home to spend the rest of the day pottering in the garden.

Ooh, ta! I love chip spice.

Washing line heaving.

I'm off out to help at DD dance shows. 10 hours in an un air-conditioned theatre with a few hundred kids and lots of noise.

Yes, the wine for afterwards is chilling already 😆

Going to my mums this afternoon with DD. She has a lovely big garden and a air conditioning unit

There's a local festival on that's all free, fair rides, inflatables, face painting, crafts, displays etc

Dd hates hot weather though and so I'm not sure whether she'd enjoy it or moan the whole time.

In a moment I shall be unleashing the suitcase contents of doom, aka the soggy manly washing that DD1 brought back from her residential yesterday. Then I shall be cowering in front of the fan until about 5pm when DH and I go into central London on the hottest day of the year to the theatre.

*manky

Done, the washing and an hour's work, about to have coffee and then go out and buy wine!! Remake bed and move a couple of items of furniture, but that's it other than reading a book and eating an icecream. A friend has a celebration party late afternoon/this evening so it's going to be a lovely evening - I hope.

Painting a bedroom. I might die of heat exhaustion but the new carpet comes on Monday so I don't have much choice!

Everyone else will be in the garden with a paddling pool, lots of shade and ice creams.

I do have a playlist of songs that took me ages to put together but it's hits that I liked from the year I was 15 up to the year I was 25. It has 110 songs.
