loppylugs 8,424 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Enjoy it while it lasts, John. It'll be like the Amazon again before ya know it. Cooler here this a.m. too. I feel like I can breathe again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Probably right Dave, but we don't usually get it as bad as Florida, we don't seem to get many 100F days now in summer, not that I'd complain about that!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,893 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Last sunday 10c today 25c . Sunday even coats couldnt keep us warm, today and tonight light weight clothes and not even a cardigan. Crazy or what? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisB 150 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 We seem to get this every year now, fantastic weather in May. Then the summer months are absolute crap! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,893 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Crazier still this morning freezing cold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 The best thing to do when it's freezing cold is have a nice cuddle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Pretty cool here this morning, 42F, usually by now we have all the windows open all day and night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 In Bulwell town, with aching feet, People fainting in the heat. Tar is melting on the road, Makes a change, it's usually cowd. Leenside joys for John and Sarah, Basking at the Notts Riviera, Families play beside the water, Mr, Mrs, son and daughter. Ice-cream sellers make a pile, So do pubs, the landlords smile. Making hay while it's so hot, Before the crowds back home do trot. All too soon, rains dogs and cats, It's back to normal, coats and hats. Put away the sunshine gear, Need again? praps next year. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 It's nice during the day here, mild and sunny, upper 60'sF to low 70'sF. I've been in shorts and tee shirts for a couple of weeks, but have to wear a sweater at night. Came close to lighting a fire a couple of evenings back. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MapperleyMan 122 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 The change in temperature interfered with my exercise routine this morning. Had the hot sun on my back and then full in my face as I ran up Somersby Road. Felt a bit faint at the top! Bloody sunshine! (Yes, I'm a typical pasty white Nottinghamian!)

catfan 14,793 Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Shirt sleeve order here in Nottingham Not heard that expression NBL since I worked on the buses ! Only in the summer months was it permitted to remove tie, jacket & roll up sleeves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 ^^^^^^^^Same as in the military which is where I get it from, it would be posted as 'dress down to shirt sleeve order'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Ah yes remember 'shirt sleeve order' sunburn was classed as a self inflicted wound. With my fair skin & light blue eyes I burn in moonlight, luckily I got away without getting bad sunburn when I was in, just the top of my tabs, bit of soothing lotion sorted it. Since then I've lost most of my hair I burn my bonce nearly every flipping summer. SWMBO has bought me a hat but I forget to wear it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I've been thin on top for years Steve, but I had more hair when I migrated to Oz. One summer I'd forgotten my hat, and ended up in the mid summer sun for several hours...Later I had a mild dose of sunstroke, not pleasant!! So be careful!! I'm also fair skinned, but years of working in the sun has given me a year around tan, although it does fade somewhat over winter, but doesn't take long to get back in spring.

Guest Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Nice work Chulla,and it scans! Sun was well out today..got a farmers tan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I seem to take ages to go brown John, & then it's a reddish brown, & then it vanishes about October. SWMBO hardly ever burns the lucky thing her.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 MapperleyMan, how far do you walk/run each day? What route do you take? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,326 Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Here in Caithness the wind has finally abated after blowing for several days at gale and near-gale force. This afternoon I plan to take advantage of the lull and nip off up the coast to see if I can catch the Puffins coming back to land after their day in the feeding grounds.
