Wow, 27 degrees is fantastic!

It is 31 degrees in the Cayman Islands, with 90% humidity - oh and today is the first day of hurricane season

Would much rather be back home walking my 4 year old to see the ducks in Hebden Bridge.....sigh.......

The only thing that bothers me about UK summers are the wasps.....hate those blighters with a passion. However, I find I hate mozzies, biting ants & scorpions much more.

Hope it lasts for you guys, heard it is going to be a lovely summer back there.

I cant bare the humidity. Some days were dreadful in Sydney.

Not seen any wasps yet, but i'm sure they'll turn up sooner or later. From memory, i always remembered them more at the back end of summer when the fruit is ripe. I have seen a lot of bumble bees though, but i dont mind them. They serve a usueful purpose

I have serious problems with them, so does my younger sister......

Have been known to exit a car on a major roadway (yes I was the driver) because one itty bitty buzzing wasp came in the window. Smart I know.

Over here people put up artificial wasps nests. Apparently wasps won't build a nest close to another. A guy we had in to get rid of a nest said it was true.

Doesn't stop them swarming in a park, but can keep them away from the home. Do they have them in the UK? If not, might be worth taking a couple back.

Reminded me of Sunday afternoons watching Bullseye and Savori's Icecream van would roll into our avenue (just after our Sunday Lunch...well timed) we use to all have a twist 99 with extra chocolate sauce..no matter what the weather...it was always busy...I think the music was 3 blind mice....and you know what?....the van still comes around on Sunday's and is still as busy and now my brother buys his children the same...where did those years go?......

But coincidentally my Canadian 18 year old stepdaughter just informed me that she's never seen an ice cream van.

They do have them in some places. Usually pre-packaged stuff, though. Not real ice cream.

It's too hot here at the moment. Records. Up around 30 C. Not pleasant at all,
