I believe that my local park green opened today.

I think ours potentially opened last weekend. However must take own jacks, and can only bowl with someone from your own household.
No toilets though, so no point going until they make toilets available.

We will open the toilets (though not the clubhouse/kitchen area), but with limited timed/booked sessions would hope that very few need to use them anyway. Will be limited numbers up there & only alternate rinks avaialable to be booked.

A hardcore baller like you would surely take your own bucket?

I know people are gunna think I'm weird but I've enjoyed today being cooler, fresher, drizzly, bonus that there's less people out and about. No doubt I'll be fed up of being damp before long

Nah man, plenty of us hate the heat. We're not built for it (nor are our houses for that matter).

Not that I care that much about gardening but my front lawn is yellower than Oliver Reed at the moment, we need some rain.

Don't actually hate the heat but 20 is plenty

Today was just fine. Took the animal out for longer walks but otherwise stayed indoors. I can live with that for a couple of weeks as the alternative is the continue painting the fence.

I was on the verge of losing most of the plants I have put in during May. Simply can't get enough water into them. The lawn looked completely dead 48 hours ago but is already showing signs of green coming back. A couple of days of rain is no bad thing after such a long dry spell.

It's a bit chilly though. 21 degrees is a pleasant temperature for walking about in. 14 degrees less so and time for a coat.

Trouble with the rain today is gardening jobs will grind to a halt so today is mould treatment on the bathroom ceiling and then repainting with proper mould-proof paint. The joys!

Just walked the dog in a T-shirt. Ideal weather. If you stand still you’ll be cold but walking around then absolutely fine.

I've been in shorts since the beginning of April and expect to be until October.

Bloody freezing this morning, got the thick duvet out again.

Just done the same, walk in a polo shirt. A bit of a chilly 10C but as you say walking briskly soon warms you up. It's only when you get back in that you realise how cold your skin is!

It's not that bad! I'm still going with my 3.5 Tog.

Not wishing to come across as a knob mate but you need to find the source of the mould for your families health sake, bathrooms, it tends to be poor ventilation .

 

[Pablowolf]

You absolute nob, how dare you offer a reasonable suggestion to a friend.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It’s because the only window that opens in the bathroom is a tiny envelope at the top of the main pane so there isn’t great ventilation with no extractor fan. It’s not a big issue, just a few tiny spots of mould where the ceiling joins the tiles. I’m just bored with cleaning it every few months so I wanted a more permanent solution. The paint I have put on has a 5 year mould suppressant guarantee. That will do me.

I'll be amazed if it last 2.5 years let alone 5. I used to work as decorator and we used all the expensive fungacide treatments and they only mask the problem. The fungacide in the paint will kill the mould for now, but if the long term issue is not sorted, it will be back.

We have the exact same issue in our bathroom as theres no window in it, just an extractor fan. Landlord is sending someone to sort it on the 15th
