To start a thread of reasons we are enjoying the weather…

[SandieCollins]

Couldn’t find another one but found about 10 complaining about it.

I am living my best life. I hate cold, rain, miserable grey wet weather, hate wrapping up in layers, wearing socks and shoes (I could go on)

I love the sun on my face, going for walks in the early morning and evening, eating outdoors, seeing kids get excited about water pistols and paddling pools. Eating salads and loads of fruit, wearing sandals or no shoes at all. Being able to leave the cushions on the garden furniture without worrying about them being rained on.

Anyone else enjoying this?

(If there is another existing thread can someone link to it and I will request this one be deleted)

Not long out of hospital for major operation so recuperating at home, sitting outside in the shade but getting lots of fresh air.

Hope you feel better soon, but how much nicer to be out in the fresh air than in the house?

Love early morning walks with the dog in the sunshine. Wearing shorts every day. Eating in the garden every evening. Summer drinks outside. Festival next Friday where I don’t have to worry about being cold or the rain. Ditto a camping trip for the kids next weekend.

Yes nice to not have to keep bringing the outdoor cushions in. Breakfast in the garden is lovely too.
I swim in a local lake - so no wetsuit this week which I prefer. Planning on a evening paddle board along the river too. So much nicer than being cooped up inside in the evening.

I love it , hate the cold - hate getting out of a hot shower and shivering , hate wearing umpteen layers . Currently sitting on the decking waiting for some friends to arrive for a few drinkies . I love this weather , everything just seems easier and less stressful .

I sweat like mad, can't go on a sun without ending up with rash and even I find the incessant moaning about 25 degrees eyeroll worthy.

Flowers are loving it, butterflies are loving it and it's so nice sitting in shade, relaxing and enjoying some nice berries

We are heat lovers. We’re all in the park at the minute enjoying the sun, the baby is under her little shade, my sons playing football with his brother in law. We like being able to stay out late without getting cold.

We do have aircon in our bedroom, so even in the heat we can sleep well.

Being able to dry washing for free!
This winter it's going to be hard.

This is making me feel really lovely, all these things just make life feel better.
@Bubblebubblebah someone suggested antihistamine for a friend struggling with heat rash and I want to say beta carotene (but check that out as I’m not a doctor and have a terrible memory)

Bloody love it, so rare here in Scotland. Wearing shorts and being barefoot, the sun on my face,garden in full bloom,sitting out late with glass of wine. Its fabulous

Loving every single thing about it.

I absolutely love it too, all the threads with people saying they hate it .....it's not like it happens very often.

Same here!

I had mine last Tuesday and today I went to the beach with my ds and my brother and his girlfriend.

I managed to sit and read and enjoy being outside. They did all the lifting and for our canoe pumped up and enjoyed going out with ds!

Washing dry in no time - free
Fresh air and breeze through the house
Change in meal plan - salad , new potatoes etc
Guilt free ice lollies - it's for hydration !

My washing is drying and my garden looks lovely.

I have SAD so hot weather is a natural anti depressant for me.
I love being able to wear shorts and a t shirt instead of being wrapped up all the time.
I love sunny dog walks through the field (early morning and at sunset at the moment).
I love being able to go paddle boarding whenever we want.
I just love, love, love it all!

it was great going to a biker day yesterday and been able to walk round in a tee shirt light jeans and sandals instead of leathered up to the neck with gloves on (put summer stuff in panniers)

Exactly! 😂 I see them and think - stop moaning, you get 9/10 of the year to be cold and indoors with your snuggly jumpers and comfort food. Let us have our moment 😂

I like getting back from work and sitting outside with my book or going for a dip in the sea.

Yes love it too 🙂🙂 We have a nice garden, sitting out with a glass or two of wine is just perfect.

My solar panels are churning out free electricity.
my washing is drying on the line.
my doors are open to give the house a good air.
The evenings are so light I don’t need to turn the lights on at at least 9pm.
great weather for eating salads and cold food so I don’t need to cook or turn the oven on.
managed to get all the curtains down and washed and dried in a day. Come up really good so where I was going to buy new I will just add a heavier line ing for the winter.

I love it. I’m overweight and menopausal so I get quite sweaty but it’s sooooo much better than grey and cold! Just wish I wasn’t having a really busy work week…

It’s great to have a good summer love it

Yeah, I love it overall. I don't sleep well in the heat and I struggle to dress my fat body appropriately but I still bloody love it. I love sitting in the garden, watching my son playing and he's got me soaked today splashing but he's so happy that I couldn't not enjoy it. BBQ's, beach days, washing dries SO quickly, my dog loves sunbathing. A day chilling at home doesn't seem so boring when you can be in the garden allday. I also drink more water and less junk food so that can only be a good thing!

I dread winter every year, the rain and cold makes me miserable. Even more so this year cause I'm worried about energy prices.

Long live summer!☀️☀️☀️

I love it, I feel happy. I have been at the beach every day and even though I swim all year round this is so lovely. Was such a lovely atmosphere on the seafront in the big coastal city we live just outside on Friday night. Love it.

In no particular order:

• shorts
• eating outside
• hours and hours of daylight
• sitting on sunlounger with my book
• hot tub with kids
• flowers looking ace
• making £££ on my solar panels

All the moaners can bore off. They get their way 95% of the time.
