When we lived at Cramlington the living room was North facing so in the summer I could potter, and water, the South facing back garden and then come in to cool down - if i could stop the OH from putting the heating on! Since we moved to Seghill, with a South facing living room I hide in the back of the bungalow and have a 'Stay Cool, Artic Blast' personal air cooler whilst the OH stays in the South facing room, often with windows closed, in the 27c+. Hope tomorrow's forecast for Alberta - 31c + rain - keeps you and the old T running 🏎️

CL - It's the current owners of the shop, a delicatessen shop, on St Cuthberts Terrace. The aerial shot is by Nathan Miller, 2017 so it probably had a different owner then.

Change that pint to a whisky and I'd do the same.

Just reminds me what Bedlington was like on a Saturday night 😜👍🏻

Good morning @Tonyp - if we had been sitting in a pub, with pint, and you had of asked me about Viktor Orban I would have replied - no idea who he is🙂. Sitting at the old PC, outside the eu 😱 , with Google available, then it's easy to find out who he is, and what he is saying, but I'm quite happy sorting out what's what in the UK without trying to understand what's really behind what any politician, from any country and any political party, is broadcasting to their public or the rest of the world. It must be easier to follow politics in the UK as they have CCTV in the cabinet offices👁️ :-

@Vic Patterson - I can't stand it when its above 20C. How are you coping :-

Yay! Fingers crossed that it’s not another flash in the (COVID frying) pan 🤞🏻xx

I agree, anything above 22c is waisted on me, I'm in the garden 7am or 8pm watering etc, like the plants I wilt in the heat, otherwise it's put down the awning on the south window, and stay inside as much as possible. Tomorrow I've been asked to drive a wedding couple around town in my old T, I hope it has cooled down by then, July 1st should also be Canada day celebration but it was moved to Saturday (due to Covid) so that may be a parade drive! Luckily we have a very dry heat so it isn't as bad as in the east where it is humid, but this heat also causes the snow on mountain tops to melt and the rivers are high and if it rains we will have big floods! Now 52c is a bit too much, but temperature is a bit like age, just a number, it's how you deal with it! Eggy 20c at three in the morning was very welcome. On the bright side tomorrow in Alberta most of our Covid restrictions are lifted!

@lilbill15 Just to round this off could you explain to me where "The Pantry" fits into this? Does it have some connection to nr. 25?

I'll bet you'll be pleased when that rain comes, Vic! Grandson has 52 degrees in Mali at the minute.

@Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) @Canny lass ,yes, thank you sir, that’s where the confusion has been increased. It’s useful to know the date of the street view images in order keep abreast of changes. The door looks a very dark blue from the pavement, my photos were hasty as I didn’t want to get caught photographing a stranger’s facade . I’ve had a very long and busy day, spent the morning in Choppington Community Wood investigating Puce Bush Farm...... My bath is ready, dinner prepared for after and Netflix menu waiting. Enjoy the football folks, good luck to your respective teams xx
