Morning all, well the cafe thread is just about full so here's the new thread.

Just a reminder Florence has made pastries over night, the garden is open with the sensory garden, the cat area (with catnip bush) is available and feel free to cool your feet int the water feature.

@sashh et al morning, I'm not sure how hot it is here but it was irritating just now when I tried to make an iced lemon water and the ice cubes melted too quickly!

Meeting neighbour in half hour for coffee, sorry, doubt appetite will perk up before 10am Blush

PinkDaydreams · 02/08/2020 07:15

Morning all!
So hot in the night, I had a rubbish sleep so please can I have some sort of juice to wake me up!

mogloveseggs · 02/08/2020 07:40

Morning yes a juice would be lovely please? Off to work soon what's everyone else's plans?

NoGravyForYou · 02/08/2020 08:25

I'd love an Vietnamese iced coffee ( if has condensed milk in it!!) if there's one going. I got about 10 minutes of sleep last and I've been working since 6:30, I'm exhausted 😭

sashh · 02/08/2020 10:42

Hands out fresh juices with crushed ice and a Vietnamese iced coffee.

@PinkDaydreams I have a portable aircon in the bedroom, I've not long replaced it after 14 years, they are noisy but you start sleeping through it quickly, the best money I have ever spent.

@sashh that does sound good, we’ve got one of those tower fans but I can never seem to get it to blow cold air on me, then I get annoyed because it’s noisy! I’m a really light sleeper though.
Haven’t done much today, made the most of the sun and got some washing out on the line but that’s about it.

sashh · 03/08/2020 04:26

Morning all.

An early start today so I'll fire up the plancher.

@PinkDaydreams you can always put aircon on for an hour before bed so the room is cool to start with.

OP posts:
PinkDaydreams · 03/08/2020 14:31

@sashh I’m going to look at air con units as our house (bedroom especially) gets so warm! I keep the blinds closed during the day which helps a little.
How’s your day been? It’s lovely and sunny now compared to the rain this morning.

sashh · 03/08/2020 15:16

With portable air con you can only get to about 10 degrees lower than the original temp so you need to bare that in mind. If you can fit a split system do.

It's been quiet today, my car has gone for its MOT and service. The cat has been out all day. She like to sit next tot he aircon output tube when it's on.

OP posts:
NoGravyForYou · 04/08/2020 10:42

Ice cream sounds great!!

How are we all?

sashh · 04/08/2020 13:39

Fairly normal, boring day for me, how are you @NoGravyForYou?

OP posts:
PinkDaydreams · 04/08/2020 15:10

I’ll have some lemon curd ice cream please! Very cloudy here today, went for a walk this morning but got caught in the rain. Another walk this afternoon. The weather is meant to be miserable again tomorrow

PinkDaydreams · 05/08/2020 07:00
