@L Austin France well I want to keep your 'noddle' to speed with the conversion so at the moment we are now at 91.5F in the house I have no idea what that is in celsius. The last time I experienced this temperature was many years ago on holiday in Rhodes. We were booking a hire car and I noticed the thermometer on the wall of the office saying 93F and thought what the hec are we doing here and oi what do you mean by 'proper units' they are proper units......from as you say a bygone age.....just like me
With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way into darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine.........The Corpse Bride

Absolute bliss here at the moment. Bit of wind plus bit of rain & now 21 deg outside.
Might get some sleep tonight
Amost the same here .. we were roasting away gently at 36°(down from nearly 38°earlier) at 7:15pm when whoosh the sky changed to troubled, a wind blew up and the temp shot down to 31° in the space of around 15-20 minutes. T'was amazing.
Still going down but slowly .. now at 22°.
No idea what the temperature is at the moment but I've done an hour's gardening so it must be in the 20s. Due to be a cool 33 this afternoon which is a 10° improvement on yesterday's horror. I don't do headaches, but I had one yesterday with the heat, some stupid motor rally all morning (souped-up engines farting loudly) and la fête de la "musique" all bloody evening.
Overnight a violent wind and lightning no thunder. This morning much cooler and we've had some rain. Temp. in the house at the moment 77.7F so way down on yesterday thank goodness.

I had to look that up in °C .. it's 25.4° apparently .. I am astonished how immersed in centigrade I have become over the years here.
I knew 77° was warm but could no longer relate to how warm in °.
Was 29 C upstairs in bedroom when I woke this morning. That is with volets closed, curtains drawn and a fan running. HOT ! And this is an old, stone house that rarely ever gets warm (the upstairs is a slight exception to that rule).
I miss my daily walks. It is just too hot to walk. There are very few shady areas to walk. Will be glad when things cool down - whenever that will be.
I went for a stroll last evening and thought I might do half an hour or so. Got about 10 minutes in at a leisurely pace then realised just how much it was taking out of me. Turned back and glad to flop in the chair.
At 7am today it was 23.4 in the shade and we are 500 metres up! The wind feels just like when you open the oven door.
