No, never. I usually have around 5/6 hours sleep max and that will include a trip to the loo! If I've gone to bed earlier I have been up in the early hours watching the goggle box for something to keep me occupied and quiet so that I don't disturb OH

Ditto. 4-6 hours does me too. I read myself to sleep and just lie and think / listen to the birds when I wake up.

I sleep in, usually awake about 8 but try to go back to sleep, rarely do so get up between 8 - 9.

I usually feel a bit weary sometime through the day and often have a siesta.

I am a night person so am often awake until the early hours

No red warnings but 2/3 of the country is subject to an orange alert both for heat and storms.
"En fin de journée, "des orages localement violents" sont prévus sur les Hautes-Pyrénées et le Béarn, avant de progresser vers la région toulousaine, la Dordogne et le Limousin.."
I'm not battening down the hatchees, it's too damned hot!

[Bayleaf]

Yep, much cooler forecast today - with the proverbial donner und blitzen tonight. Will have to get the fresh hay in this morning, and then stack up the vehicles under cover in case of hail. Might even have to close the polytunnel ....

At least it'll be much cooler for a while, which means back to work!

Let's hope the rain that is due helps reduce the fires in the Gironde and elsewhere.

It's down to 26°C here at the moment with a very light, warm, southerly breeze - it got up to 39°C yesterday with no breeze at all. Although some rain and storms are forecast for Brittany, we're unlikely to get any them here The plants in the garden are surviving ... just ...

Huge forest fire at Les monts d'Arrée about 70 Km NW of us.
Been smelling smoke all night & now it's rolling past making it seem like dusk here.
Hot with all windows shut but small beer compared to the poor souls who live around there.

It is to be less hot here today by 10C. When I took first feeds down to the horses, there was what appeared to be a thin mist and there's a vague smell of smoke. I hope it's my vivid imagination playing tricks on me.
