There is a man skipping in the car park by my bedroom window wearing only some shorts and and trainers. This is a holiday flat in a city and I normally live in the country. This is not something i see every day. I may be enjoying it too much!

Anything you have seen in this lovely weather that has brought a smile to your face?

Birds drinking from the dish of water that I leave out for them. It’s there 365 days a year but normally just the cat drinks from it Hmm Today and yesterday I’ve been a few birds have a beakful or two. This cheered me up so much that I bought some blueberries in Tesco just for the bird table Blush

Lucky birds getting blueberries.

Minging gammon out with no shirts on giving their England tattoos an airing. Vom.

Keith in his Speedos.
He lives opposite and strips off to shorts at the glimpse of Sun but on really sunny days it's budgie smugglers.
I'm not complaining though I've taken my bra off and am swinging about sweaty Grin

A rather large man standing at the side of the road. He was wearing just a pair of shorts, some trainers and a knotted hanky on his head and sweat was pouring down his face.

It was the hanky that made me smile.

His chest was very slippery looking and he was breathing heavily. I think he may have been jogging and run out of puff (not surprised Grin ).

It's Day of the Flying Ant here. Also with the warmth and recent rain all the gardens look fabulous.

SuperPixie247 · 23/07/2019 15:27

Maybe an unpopular opinion on here but I love seeing other peoples tattoos!

Apolloanddaphne · 23/07/2019 15:46

Skipping man had a full arm of tattoos. He really needs to work on his tan though.

Love the looking at tattoos comment. I forget I have tattoos. Mine are on my shoulder. Had them done at 18 just to annoy my mum (well in part that’s true) and now at 43 if I am wearing a strappy summer dress or top and someone new sees my tattoos, I always get a shocked comment as I’m totally not the type you’d think would have a tattoo. Let alone a shoulders worth.

Think boring 43yr old mum of three that the style section here would definitely call Mumsy.

There is now a different man in gym gear in the car park.

Oh wait, that's just DH going to get his water bottle out the car! Grin

Flocks of kids outside all the shops, licking ice creams. And my kids sticky with ice cream, sun cream and sweat every evening, and absolutely wrecked!

Cats. Sleeping Cats everywhere.

I love all the sleeping cats. Very cute.

I love seeing everyone in their summer clothes. Everyone seems happier.

Rachelover40 · 23/07/2019 18:44

At the first hint of sunshine people are in their front drives, in shorts, washing their cars and weeding flower beds.

Chocolatedaim · 23/07/2019 18:47

Blackberries 😊

Geraniumpink · 23/07/2019 18:50

We live in the middle of a village and it’s loud in the summer, shouting kids, lots of diy sawing and drilling, barbecues, church bell practice. I like to sit outside for a bit at about 9pm when it’s cooler and quieter and watch the wildlife stirring.

Mollypolly2610 · 23/07/2019 18:59

I know I’m old and judgey but I was enjoying it all until I saw the couple in my local supermarket - he only had shorts and trainers on, she had a boob tube and very short shorts, both covered in tattoos. Please cover a bit in shops!

MrsTommyBanks · 23/07/2019 19:00

@Apolloanddaphne what sort of skipping?

Apolloanddaphne · 23/07/2019 19:03

Skipping with a wire rope.

Red moobs with white patches underneath where the skin has been shaded by the moob. Quite often tastefully accessorised by a sweaty tangle of underarm hair.
