• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Warm or what ?

It's 21h here and the temperature is still 32°, it peaked at 38° this afternoon. Forecast says hotter tomorrow.
Fortunately this is an 18th C stone built house with 70cm thick walls and while inside is warmer than I'd like, it is a lot cooler than outside.

Spent the day in the workshop, coolest place around, and got on with building the window seats cum laundry baskets for our dressing room. Nothing exotic, just mdf etc. that will be painted.
 
Peaked at 31.8 this far north :D Expecting 35+ tomorrow. Kept the house (downstairs) at less than 27 with the shutters and windows closed. Upstairs much warmer.
 
Slightly cooler in Blighty, but the Ch4 weather man doth say that it's going to be around 33degC in Londres tomorrow...should be cooler still when we go to see my daughter in Carlisle at the weekend - Rob
 
Have to go into the office in London tomorrow, not looking forward to sharing the tube with the masses in this heat. Seriously thinking of going in at 4.30am and leaving the office at 3.00pm after my last call. Not a big sacrafice as the light mornings and bird song means I am awake at that time most mornings anyway.

31C in the shade here today. noticed the central heating thermostat in the middle of the house said the room was 28C.

Not looking forward to tomorrows heat. Mind you its not so bad now I'm retired. used to really hate hot days in the factory. Somehow I'd manage to end up helping out in the spray shop on the hottest days where the ovens ran all day and you couldn't ventilate the room much and still use the powder coating plant. Maybe hot days aren't so bad now.
 
Was on a 5.56am train to Waterloo this morning, only person in my carriage not wearing shorts or a floaty summer dress (oh and the carriage was full, standing room only). On the tube by 6.40am and it was already uncomfortably hot, but thankful that by this time the carriage did not stink of 100,000 sweaty armpits (although I fear by the time I go home that will have changed).

bloody hell Terry, that's a seriously early start!
 
I used to catch the 7:10 and that was bad enough and I only did two years in London and for only two days a week - that brings back memories!!

34°C according to my car gauge - a nice 21 inside for the 5hr journey. [emoji3]
Holiday season definitely kicked off with lots of kids bumping off school with parents and risking being fined. Officially in Hants, they break up on the 22nd though Independent ones break up on the 8th.

I hope no-one is moaning. You, after all, didn't have to spend the entire day on a roof in the direct sun, now did you? ;)
