[QUOTE=Duck Duck Goose] I just think it’s so _cute_ when it gets up to 80 in the UK and y’all start hollerin’ about a “heat wave”. 😃 [/QUOTE] I wouldn’t call it a heat wave, but then it is only the first half of may. 90 is a heat wave for the UK, in my book. It’s only ever got to 100 on one day, ever, but we usually get at least a couple of days in the 90s in the summer. But it’s a wet heat … 😛 ---

We are having very lovely weather here in the uk, its been 26 degrees where i am for the past couple of days…it means many hours spent sunbathing in the backgarden. ive just come back from some time in africa where it peaked at 50degrees a couple of days in a row…now that WAS hot. And i swam in the sea the other day, which is a first for in may in the uk for me. wahoo. its nice to not grumble about rubbish weather like we normally do.
