Yes it is night for me. You have a great night as well

I did not expect to end up hand feeding a baby bird today

Nimuir · July 25, 2019, 12:36pm

@Rimor Oh wow! How’d that happen? What did you feed it?

Sapphire · July 25, 2019, 12:37pm

Looks like a magpie… Quick catch another.
1 for sorrow
2 for joy…

Rimor · July 25, 2019, 12:38pm

The poor thing must have fallen out of the nest in the heatwave so I scooped it up and looked after it. I was feeding it bugs and such yesterday but today we’ve moved onto cat food

Rimor · July 25, 2019, 12:39pm

This magpie is gonna be very sorry if it doesn’t stop being so demanding

Nimuir · July 25, 2019, 12:41pm

That’s a nice thing to do!

I can almost dream of a heatwave…I’m sick of these negative temperatures at night and cold winds during the day

Rimor · July 25, 2019, 12:43pm

All I want is for it to be winter and a massive blizzard outside. At least then I can put more cloths on to keep warm but when it’s crazy hot you’re stuffed

I have my fan on max and I’m hiding in the darkest pit of the house

Rimor · July 25, 2019, 12:49pm

Oh apparently the bird is a swallow

Nimueh · July 25, 2019, 1:15pm

If it is a swallow it should be used to these temperatures, lol.

Rimor · July 25, 2019, 1:26pm

I don’t know these temperatures aren’t normal for the UK

Nimueh · July 25, 2019, 1:29pm

Swallows migrate to Africa for the winter.

Today, in the UK, I saw the road melt.
A parked Audi slowly sunk into the tarmac until only the tip of its antenna showed.
Blackout curtains have been donated to the homes of ginger haired people for fear that even indoors they may burn.
Ice cream vans are evaporating.
In the distance… bees.

Graevan · July 25, 2019, 1:41pm

It’s a tad warm here.

Nimueh · July 25, 2019, 1:42pm

Yeah, same here. We’re hitting 28C here in south wales today. Too hot for me, but to think it’s hitting 38C in London!!!

Sapphire · July 25, 2019, 1:54pm

Oh how I wish you were joking, but I left bare foot footprints in the tarmac outside the house last night as I made a run for the comparably cool grass.

Rimor · July 25, 2019, 2:12pm

I’m ginger so I’m hiding inside, just thinking about this heatwave is enough to give me a sunburn

Graevan · July 25, 2019, 2:14pm

Barefoot on hot tarmac? O.O
Now I know what bravery looks like.

Rimor · July 25, 2019, 2:18pm

I love how it’s supposed to be raining but it’s so hot that the water has evaporated before it’s even fallen
