Yes, it's too hot for work. Go home and have a cold drink, tell your employer I sanctioned it.

That looks amazing, black forest! It's a pity the planners here couldn't copy some continental style, instead of the drab streetscapes we have here.

There are quite a lot of cities here with this kind of fountains. Helps everybody to cool down a bit. Add to that the more normal ones and you will find a nice wet place everywhere. 😁

Looks lovely Black Forest, I've actually never visited Germany although I've lots of German friends. I even took the time to learn German using Duolingo and my poor mates as victims.. My Swiss-German mates had an even harder time of trying to get me using high German, they're funny because they keep telling me that Germans think they sound funny using high German.

Good news on my earlier post, Richo is back to his old self forget flat 7-up, cheese cake from Spar is your only man

Thankfully there are garbage bins every few meters. Refundable cans or bottles would be collected quite fast by the local committee of the less privileged and any antisocial behaviour like smashing bottles would cause an instant uproar from the surrounding coffee places. No need to call the police...but may be an ambulance.🤔😂

Swiss german sounds funny. But that is most probably a vice versa thing.😂

Happy to hear that Richo is back up again. We have the same taste when it comes to cake.😋

I miss Germany. I worked there in the mid 90s in Bielefeld and Guttersloh. Off the beaten track from todays weekend trippers. Similar summer scenes!

My stomping grounds at that time had been a bit south in Munich. Covering Bavaria, Austria and the north of Italy providing Betacams for the editors. 😉

I really love my neck of the woods. Just can’t stand the in the meantime normal heatwaves with temperatures up to 36 degree celsius. So for retirement in a few years i am looking for nice ‘cool’ places with a pub or two in reach. A boat as a second home in summer would be enough. At least i could move it up north east. ⛴ 😄

Sitting down (with Richo snoring his brains out beside me).. My local Chinese just reopened so I treated myself to my first chicken curry, fried rice and chips since the lockdown, it was heavenly

Now just going to chill with two (I might have three lol) can't of cider and watching Life on Mars on Netflix, a brilliant show, anyone seen it?. (no spoilers).

Yum yum Druids cider lol, apparently not the best cider (according to my daughter) but I'm not a cider drinker and its quenching a thirst right now

Stock up early, like I said I'm not a cider drinker but my daughter came home today telling me she couldn't find any (for herself) in any of the shops. I went to my local pub, the family has a shop next door and got the last two 4 pack of Druids they'd left.

Its running out of the fridges in this heat.

Happen to like druids myself, bulmers etc not for me, though Old Mout is nice but spendy for thirsty weather

Years back I was working near Clonmel in the height of Summer, maybe it was just the heat, but the Bulmers tasted better.

You should try switching to T1, we get to go mental and pay for it later.

Decided to go to bed early. Wouldn’t be the best sleeper in the world. I was in bed for 9. Awake at 11:30 raring to go. So much for a full nights sleep

Gremlinertia

Hate that, often happens me too. It's either drink, clean or exercise now!

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

It certainly won’t be exercise anyway. I’m sending lyrics of songs to people on WhatsApp to see how far down the song I get before they realize. Hyper AF

Gremlinertia

It'd be cleaning for me, too much drinking the last few days and an exercise allergy. Or maybe vacantly staring at a show..

A hairy one? As i never shaved my legs i am probably male.🤔😂

Another poster a little while ago saw me as a kind of MacGyver (the old one of course!). Might be more correct as i was running around with gaffer tape for a few decades. On the other hand i once fixed my leaking walking boots with tape up in the mountains with still a few miles to go. Was better than nothing. I am feeling an existential crisis coming...who am i? 🤔😁

Great memories even if nobody has a clue what we're talking about. My first experience was a three machine Hi-Band U-matic suite. Shot on Beta SP but never used a beta suite. Went straight to non-linear and look at us now.

But I did recently find my Super 8mm film splicer.:D

Good morning all,

Corona test #11 just done, I’m as bored as FECK.

Morning wherers. Seriously Scorchio this morning. By the time I got Dad out of the shower I felt ready to jump back in it myself despite only having one 15 minutes prior! The back of the house is like an oven. Dad's currently alternating between a kitchen chair placed in the shadow in the front driveway and pacing around said shadow. It's the coolest place at the moment. Quick cold drink for me and back into the breech of chores, all located in the kitchen /sauna, of course. I think I may actually melt today.

Just finished a nice shopping spree on gardening shtuff. Now aggressively eating a breakfast roll.
