To sleep in the garden in the hammock tonight

[Missproportionate]

It’s 28 degrees in the house. I’m in zone 2 in London.

The hammock in the garden looks incredibly inviting (the hammock stand is the best thing I’ve bought in a long time)

I’m too chicken though.
The kids are inside but they are all 11+ and DP is away

Nah it will fuck your back up unless you can lie diagonally flat

Yup do it

The spiders, think of the spiders & the creepy crawlies!

Not very enlightening picture of said hammock

One word : horseflies it may be 2

I would with a sleeping bag and pillow

Oh, do it. LOVE a hammock.
Just remember the bug spray all over, and a pillow...

Nah- devoid of mozzies and horseflies round here.

Jasmine flowers above the hammock, night-scented Stocks below, and one of my neighbours is definitely having a joint

I'm in Yorkshire where it's not even that hot and I'm sleeping Jin the garden in my sleeping bag and camping mat next to the patio so I can come in if I get cold. I do it all the time in summer as soon as it's vaguely warm. My neighbours think I'm weird but I just love being outdoors.

Every time I retreat to read a book in it in the dayrime I end up asleep

Lucky you! Why not?!
I'd do it if I had a hammock... and a garden to put one in...
I was just saying to DH tonight, we could sleep in a tent if we had a garden!

If your corner of London is like my neck of the woods, you won't sleep outside between the screeching foxes, the dawn chorus at 3.45am, the scraping cats, the flies and any passing ambulances that might be in your area. I'd stay in personally..

The dog might join me

Another one saying do it!

In the garden yes
Not sure about a hammock though
I’m clumsy so I’d fall out!

Actually Fan you’re right because a train just went past. Plus - as you say - the foxes round here are.... having a lot of sexy time recently. dDog is beside himself about it.

Plus it’s not unlnown for police helicopters and cars to appear from nowhere. I actually think it might be ‘too hot’ for crime

Nope - the aeroplanes start at 4am too :-(

I had a flight of fancy

The other fun dampener on the early morn wake up ? Dew.

I am, however, looking out at my long garden bench which has a padded seat and am verrry tempted myself.

Depends on the area. I wouldn't sleep anywhere other than locked in the house at my current (and previous) house.

Definitely do it if you feel safe enough! You might wake up stiff as a board but it beats being a sweaty mess like me

Horseflies. Get the evil fuckers in zone 2 as well.

But... you'll get darked on!

And what about all the spiders rubbing their willies on your face?!

I’ve come in. A mosquito bit me

I live in a very mixed part of town- but actually - we’ve been here ten years and I’ve never been aware of anyone being in the garden.

If I wake up at dawn I’m going out there though
