For this bank holiday?

Badly missing the uk and imagining endless pub gardens in the sun with friends or Bbq’s and music blaring out…

Or is everyone already out in the sun 😂

I'm going to the seaside - might even get into the sea if it isn't too cold! Taking shorts and bikini top and hoping!

Took the DC to Hampton Court Palace today. Had a picnic and ice cream in the gardens, as well as looking at all the exhibitions inside where it was blissfully cool due to all those thick Tudor walls!

I’m stuck at home with 85yo dad (Alzheimer’s) and DH is away camping with his youth group, so I will be mostly pottering in the garden. I’d rather be out somewhere nice, but dad would absolutely hate it, so it’s not happening. I’m hoping DH and I can manage a stolen day out next week when DS2 has a day off work and can dad-sit…and hoping the glorious weather holds out that long!

PuppiesProzacProsecco · 24/05/2026 19:41

Just home from the pub. Had a lovely afternoon with family, 4 pints and home. I'm bed now with dogs and some trashy TV

clary · 24/05/2026 19:44

I was at athletics (volunteer) this am then managed to catch the second half of DD’s band in the park. Lovely sunny afternoon.

Tomorrow I am meeting friends for coffee then going Grad suit shopping <gasp> with ds2. The gasp is bc I didn’t think this day would ever come. He’s worried it will be too hot, but I think, air coming shops yes?

Sorry op no barbecue and no wine (on diet)

Arran2024 · 24/05/2026 19:44

We are going to walk the dog first thing then drive to a retail park where there is a huge Next to get my husband some summer trousers, then back home to laze in the garden, in the shade, with the radio on.

EveryDayisFriday · 24/05/2026 19:46

We've been camping in Scotland this weekend and it has been bliss.
Lots of cider in the sun and had a stroll around harbour and the farmers and producers market before reclining on my lounger near my tent listening to birds. It's been slow, boozy and relaxing.

5128gap · 24/05/2026 19:54

Ooh. I don't know. Moaning that it's too hot and the neighbours are playing music i dont like and their BBQ smells and their kids keep screaming and they mowed the lawn at 9am which is just...rude.
Oh maybe going out to moan. That theres too much traffic and no parking and its too hot and too crowded and too expensive and why does everyone else decide to go out when I want it to be just me, because its just...rude.
Or in Tesco where's there's no ice and the three for two BBQ stuffs all gone except the minted lamb kebab things that I don't like, and there's a bloke in there without his top on which is so unhygienic and...rude.
Is it all coming back to you now OP? Have you missed us?

Larrythecatforpm · 24/05/2026 19:56

Yesterday drank far to much wine in the sunshine, today paying for it, tomorrow Bbq & take dc to the park in the morning before it gets unbearable from the heat. 😂

Seawolves · 24/05/2026 19:58

Staying home. My little boy is not coping in the heat, he's either crying, trying to sleep or asleep.

mindutopia · 24/05/2026 20:01

Dh and teen dd are wild camping and walking (I know, in this heat 🙄 I did tell them), so it’s just me and ds at home. We have plans to go to the garden centre in the morning to buy some new plants and have some cake. Then will potter around in the garden once it cools down a bit.

Lampzade · 24/05/2026 20:01

Nothing much
Will go to the gym in the morning then come home and watch some Netflix
Can’t be arsed with the hot weather tbh

itsgettingweird · 24/05/2026 20:04

Where are you all that it’s cooling down?!

ds and I walked along the beach this morning at 9am and it’s was already 24°!

It’s still 25° now!

im not moaning though - i love it!

SwatTheTwit · 24/05/2026 20:09

Went out today but tomorrow I’m definitely staying in and enjoy a quiet day by myself, DP is working.

Screamingabdabz · 24/05/2026 20:10

Long lazy day in the garden reading and listening to the birds. Thank fuck all the neighbours gave their strimmers and jet washes a break. Some lovely far off sounds of families enjoying paddling pools. I’m now sipping a big glass of vodka and cranberry watching the sun set.

Doyouthinktheyknow · 24/05/2026 20:13

I’m working in A&E as an RMN all day today and tomorrow. Judging by how busy A&E has been, it’s not all lazy afternoons in the pub unfortunately🤪

It is really hot and quite uncomfortable too!

Octavia64 · 24/05/2026 20:15

Sitting in my garden in the cool of the evening with the neighbours playing Raye at high volume (great song so no complaints) eating ice cream

Pendapala · 24/05/2026 20:18

Sailing off the Norfolk coast all morning. Late lunch with friends in Norwich before driving home to London.

I’ve barely been inside since Saturday morning. It’s absolutely glorious!

MyIcyHeart · 24/05/2026 20:18

Taking my 8 year old to see 'Wake the Tiger' in Bristol tomorrow, whilst her twin is spending some time with their father, so quiet night for us!

TheBoyMayorOfPartridge · 24/05/2026 20:27

We’re not doing anything wildly exciting. Met some friends with kids at the local farm park/ cafe thing this morning for a few hours, otherwise we’ve just been playing in the garden with DD, had the paddling pool out, I planted some herbs in a new planter, couple of ciders once DD in bed - tomorrow more of the same I imagine. It’s actually been really nice and relaxing - we’re away next week (when the weather isn’t going to be nearly so good!!) so happy for a quiet one this weekend.

notanAIbot · 24/05/2026 20:30

Probably stay in bed as usual

shellyleppard · 24/05/2026 20:30

My acrophobia and anxiety are bad again so I've been sitting in the garden most of the day. Its been good weather though. ❤️

Ringing bells at a country fair in the morning
reading in a hammock under a tree in the afternoon
BBQ in the evening
