No, but we will be barbecuing though

I have been pondering your profile picture - mushy peas in a small ramekin? What sort of person are you CT? And it looks like about 6 chips - you claim to be from the north?

Scorchio here today !
Looks the same all week peaking at 34c on saturday.
Working outside on windows all week but will have a gazebo set up over benches/saw etc. for some shade.

Id be putting another kviek on if I didn't have a saison in the FV, but it can handle up to 32 so im ok

We’ll put back the insulation on the windows, dig out the Water Spray bottle, get the fans going, open windows not in the sun etc etc …

… then we’ll bugger off to Scotland for a few days! To where it’s forecast to be at least 10*C cooler with occasional fog!


My next brew (Inshallah) is a Wilko Hoppy Copper Bitter, which I will leave until we return. This is in anticipation of cooler days by October!

Here’s hoping!

It was the only picture I could find with my username on it, proper fish and chips below.

On holiday in sunny Brittany, in Morbihan. Three days in a row fields on fire in the vicinity. Luckily we are on the coast (Étel). Temps around 30-32. But the temperature now drops faster in the evening, after 20:00.

I live in Aberdeenshire, and the temperature here has finally got into the high 30’s.

Unfortunately it’s on the Fahrenheit scale.

I can also confirm that we get fog (called Har) in summer.

The only newspaper to still use F is the Express but only for high temperature ie 90. For low they never use 28.

Went to Brittany one year for 14 nights in a caravan and it rained that hard we packed up after 4 and rented one in the vendee St. John du monts where the sun shone for the rest of our holiday. Cost a fortune but there is no fun sitting in a blow up ring in the lazy river wearing spedoos and it chucking it down and 15c. This was July as well

If you're that close to Lorient, you've just got to take in the Festival Interceltique. I've been twice and it's amazing. Incontournable !
Won't make it this year though. If you're heading east, the outdoor photo exhibition at La Gacilly is also worth a look.
Haven't seen or heard of any fires here in Béganne.

La Gacilly

I camped there in 1986 just by the bridge and river and enjoyed a few pastis 51s in the bar up the little hill
