We were both sun worshippers until we got basal cell skin cancers now we avoid the sun. It has always been the humidity indoors that I don't like. It is sunny and 18°C at the moment. I hope you and all my friends on here are safe and well. Graham xx After getting bccs I now cover up in the sun, sit in the shade if possible and always wear a cap or brimmed hat when outside, I have never been a sun worshipper though. The trouble is I get so hot and sweaty when gardening or going out in the sun wearing a hat, long trousers and long sleeve shirt (my fault as I can’t be bothered to sun cream up on my arms and legs!). We were on Arcadia recently and there weren’t many outside shaded areas, the port side of the covered rear pool area is given over as a smoking area. Already 21c here but cloudy, was surprisingly woken by the pitter patter of light rain at 7am. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo taken in my garden 5 minutes ago. Unbelievable after the rubbish couple of months we’ve had. Long may it last. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twotravellersLondon Posted September 7, 2023 #49678 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) Currently 23˚C with more blue skies and a forecast of 30˚C. Hope that those who can enjoy the sun in this Indian Summer... even, as with us, if it's from the vantage of a well-shaded spot by the wildlife pond.

pete14 Posted September 7, 2023 #49680 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Here in normally sunny North Wales it is warm, very humid but little sign of the sun. We have already had a couple of rain showers which we hadn’t been expecting. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were on Iona I posted lots of pictures of chairs,sunbeds etc in the shade on several decks which was a big bonus for us who don't like being in the sun for any length of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zap99 Posted September 7, 2023 #49683 Share Posted September 7, 2023 It's a funny old world. Here we are in the South of France in a pleasant 26c. All you poor folk back home wilting in the heat. We get home on Saturday and the forecast is 32c. Strange times. Look what the Romans did for us.🤣 16 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been to nearby Avignon, and the Pont de Avignon, the song/nursery rhyme which takes me back to French Lessons in my school days when we had to memorise the words. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a decent amount of water in the river. I didn't photograph that...to protect the Ladies modesty. Avignon at the moment, but we are giving the dancing a miss.🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splice the mainbrace Posted September 7, 2023 #49688 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Our neighbour is washing his cars again after only doing them yesterday evening, the light rain earlier has brought the ‘Sahara’ dust down and they are dirtier than before he cleaned them. Fortunately our car is garaged. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eglesbrech Posted September 7, 2023 #49693 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Another sunny day today, the weather has been amazing this week. While the sun is shining the autumn tasks still need doing. We purchased a new machine for pulping down tree pruning etc.. We have to pay for garden waste collection ( in addition to high local tax) so getting the bulk down helps. The sunny days are a real bonus but it’s still dark by about 8.15 at night now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been inside all day, and it was like a sauna, so we were hoping Wales would be cooler. Woke up this morning to all the cars etc covered in Sahara sand --- glad we didn't clean and polish the cars last night !!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey16 Posted September 8, 2023 #49699 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Good morning everyone in hot sweaty uk , hope you’re all keeping safe and cool. Yesterday we were in Barcelona we got of the ship at 8.30 and the temperature was ok first thing, we walked many miles today along las Ramblers and a trip into the Boquirea market which was a slight and wonderful smell experience, we then started to walk to the gothic part of the city and further on but for some reason my heal was very sore and getting more and more painful as the day went on so we decided to go back to the market and have some lunch there which was good. The weather was getting quite hot now and I was happy my husband brought my fan , some pictures of the market offerings. Tonight’s dinner was a little disappointing only because of what I chose because my husband’s was fine , he had chicken pot pie and I had liver & onions , but the best thing was we had lots of dolphins swimming by as we sat and had dinner. All the evening shows have been good in the theatre so far and even our cruise director Dan can certainly bang out an opera song . Some pics of the market and a little health & safety one . 15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
