No AC here Kat... and 99 % of people in the UK don't have AC in their homes.. I hate not having it, because I have it in the Spanish house, but it;s extortionately expensive here to have installed.

Hot today.. I've just been outside putting up my new garden lounger. Had to strip the big box it came in, into smaller bits to get it into the Recycle bin.. ..

Late yesterday afternoon I refilled the bird feeders from empty.. and now at 11.30am, it's almost empty again.. either those birds are revenous and I can't see why they would be.. my neighbour also has bird feeders... or I'm putting something in there they can't get enough of...

I think I knew you didn't have it there because I watch a YouTube channel called Lost in the Pond and he tells the differences between our two countries. He mentioned that a couple of times. The AC in this building is just window units that anyone can put in. Plug and play type of things.

No.. it's extremely rare for anyone to have those window AC's, because we don't generally have sash type windows, we have one pane Double glazing..
 
These are generally the types of windows most people have here..

When I was a child most people had sash windows, but now altho' some people in Victorian housing still have them, they're not common..

Here's something that may be of interest to you about Glacier National Park in the US. There is a steep winding road that leads to Logan Pass that is heavily used. But some people, my mother for one, are terrified of the road. Glacier park provides tour bus rides to the pass, but here's the thing; The buses are vintage. I think they may be the original buses that were available when that section of the Rocky Mountains was designated as a National Park, which would have been about the time Henry Ford was thinking about building the Model T. No, not quite that vintage. I've always been drawn to those buses, and they blend so well with the log lodges and primitive scenery. I'll see if I can find a picture.

Other than.......waiting for the grass to dry.....hopefully can get it mowed, or hayed tomorrow.
The sold futon will get picked up today.....so will rearrange my spare bedroom/ sewing room for the last time.....nothing left in there to sell.
My usual morning cleaning chores.
Hopefully ENJOY some SUN !!!!!!!!!!!! without being bundled up to keep warm.
 
It's really hot here... high 70's might not sound hot, but there's high humidity as well.

I laid out on the new lounger in the sun with my headphones on listening to a political /Royal podcast... but I should have shut my eyes because I was laying under a tree, and I look up and thought how much it needs trimming back , so after 1/2 hour of laying on my back..I had to get up and get the long reach trimmer out.. and attack it.
I only did a little bit to tidy it up, because it's too hot to be struggling with a heavy long reach trimmer, .. and then when all the leaves and twigs were on the ground, I couldn't face raking it up, so I got the lawnmower out, and ended up mowing the whole lawn...

I've come indoors now to sit in front of a fan...*phew*

Did you post a picture someplace of those? I am curious what type you ended up getting, Holly.:cool:

No I haven't posted a picture of the loungers... this is what I bought tho'.. just a plain Navy blue padded.. easy to stow away... Incidentally the 'laces'' are leather.. and the padding is very substantial which you can't really see in the picture.

I would have liked something with arms, but they would just take up to much space in the shed.
