7.44pm and I'm dripping - my late English teacher would have a fit 'cos she was always droning on about "Horses sweat, gentlemen perspire and ladies glow". Well, my glow is trickling down my back and all I did was water a few pots. :shock: :lol:

Sue Dyer - 14C is a winter temperature here :lol: As Revdev said, it's 32C in the pool :lol:

Freezing here too. wondering what this is going to do to my electricity bills for Millport... Already had one moaner in one of the flats complaining it felt a bit damp. Probably because everybody's jackets, shoes etc were damp, and all the windows were shut for the entire week, according to my neighbour.

Yeah, I'm not holding out any hopes for that, Mousie. Rain alarm beeped earlier ( not unusual in itself ) and missus came into the office ordering me to remove the inflatables from the pool and bring in a chair from same area as there was a big "blob" heading our way.

Since then the bloody thing has petered out.

Now, to be fair, I did move here because I was sick of the UK weather but even I can see that the 3(!) days of rain we've had here this year isn't anywhere near enough to moisten the local wildlife's whistle. If we don't get a good drenching soon it'll just get worse :(

I resisted the urge to put the heating on at the weekend, but I did don a fleece to fight the chill, which I was somewhat resentful of with it being the end of July and all :x However Accuweather says that the temperature in Casarabonela yesterday was 43C with an overnight low of 22C so I guess there is such a beast as too much of a good thing :mrgreen: And to think that the current guests opted for no air con! :shock:

Just had a 5 minute trickle of rain. Still very hot but horribly humid :(
Some guests just need a sympathetic pat. On the head. With a hammer.

Pissing down with rain the last few days here in Brighton (can I say pissing?!?). Still warm but may point out the thermostat just in case this Friday.

Unheard of in July.
Was reading about Hive controlled heating just yesterday as I have finally 'locked' the a/c in the rental so it can't be turned on except by yours truly with the key. (Now I know why guests rarely asked me for it :oops: )

So now I am thinking of remotely controlling the heating in the winter although I don't have many winter requests. Is it a complicated set-up?

There was a storm over us last night (well, this morning really, 2am ish) with rain so heavy we could hear it over the air con noise! Most unusual to get rain in July but at least it laid the dust :D
