Phew, it's a scorcher!

Happy birthday to 70's DD. Best date for a birthday ever!

It’s hard to imagine a time when we’ll be snuggling under a throw with the fire on in the glow of twinkling Christmas tree lights! I will try and manifest a snowbound log cabin…while melting in this (currently 28) heat!

De-lurking to share that it's also my birthday today! My parents timed that well! Uphill to Christmas now. I already have a few things booked up but not sure what we'll be doing over actual Christmas yet.

Happy birthday, @StrugglingwithIvanhoe! 🥳

Oh I am so envious of the 25/6 birthday! Happy birthday to all whose birthdays are today.
New to this thread, I was on them several years ago but tailed off. Need to get back on it!

Ahhh, you beat me to it @NoWordForFluffy 😆

When I woke up this morning and saw the date, I thought “Yahooo!” downhill to Christmas!
Oddly enough I was reading my old Good Housekeeping Christmas magazine from a couple of years back…it must have put the date in my head!

I keep all my old Christmas monthly magazines, always have done, some go back to 1992 - the fashions are worth a giggle!

🎄Merry June everyone! Not long now, 183 days to go! 🎄

Excellent title Fluffy. It is far too hot here. Even my eyes feel like they are melting.

Happy Birthday @StrugglingwithIvanhoe

Welcome back MoaningAboutTheWeather

Roll on a change in the weather I am so struggling and in pain with the humidity swelling all my joints - I've already had 4 showers today and will shortly go sit in front of a floor fan with my feet in a tub of cold water. My husband keeps giving me a "countdown" apparently its 4more hours until we allegedly pass the peak and it starts to level off and cool down... yeahhhh we shall see....

After many years celebrating Christmas in the southern hemisphere the heat is reminding me of some of my favourite Christmas’s, 20+ people sat around a table with a dozen fans surrounding us white eating a roast in 40 degree heat….ahh good times 🥵🌲🥂

love the Thread Title @NoWordForFluffy

DD has had a lovely relaxed birthday . Presents (of course) , cake , doing her nails with her new Nails Inc set .
We're going up to London tomorrow .
Right now we're doing a "Whitechapel" binge watch . It is an annual re-watch .

I saw the old thread was filling up so added some pictures

Popping on to placemark. I'm not posting much on MN right now but didn't want to lose you all.

Melting 🥵

I have started gathering a few presents together but nothing significant yet.

We are postponing London till tomorrow , the trains are reduced and the Undergrounds will be like ovens .

I am already ahead on presents , I bought DD a Nails Inc set from QVC and there was an opt in for a second set (new colours) in two months . So in August I will have something for the Dec 1st Box .

Thank you and hiya 👋 bloody love this thread, do not love this weather!🎄

Happy Rudolph Day to the Christmas lovers! 🤶
