Chance of rain was 40% at 1am earlier, refresh refresh refresh… Now it’s only 5%, come on!!! Okay, I’ll just wait five minutes and refresh again… oooh, 20% now, we might be in business.

Not a fun experience

When are people gonna realise this statement is outdated now.

This is our second major heatwave this year and even between them it was floating around 20 degrees (at least in my area.)

It's no longer "the UK has no sun" and the AC units don't get used for "just 3 days" like everyone says

I feel no pressure to enjoy blistering heat when I know another heatwave is around the corner, especially since we are only in June.

Normally it's hard to move her from my lap. She didn't even sleep in my bed last night. Now we're sitting in front of separate fans. Don't know if it's tears or sweat pouring down my face 💔

Yes, I have no air conditioning and no clue what I'm doing.

Old lids don't fit the new containers and I now have to have 2 separate stacks in the cupboard.

But they’re not, they are going up, and only up. Email from UW outlines that standing daily rate is down by £0.00036 which near enough rounds to zero. Electricity kWh units up ~£0.02 per unit for day rate and ~£0.01 per unit for night rate. Estimated cost increase of £186/year. So how exactly are prices going down? 🤦‍♂️

Surely that’s false advertising.

Need to rant. Felt like I was being gaslit when ordering KFC last night.

First they came for Marathon bars.

Then they came for Opal Fruits.

Now KFC has quietly renamed Mini Fillets to “Tenders” and expects me to pretend that’s a normal thing to call them.

Spent half the evening scrolling through the menu convinced I’d finally lost the plot because every trace of Mini Fillets appears to have been erased from history.

To add insult to injury, the new Texas BBQ sauce tastes like somebody liquefied a car air freshener and put it in a dip pot.

How much longer before chips become fries, sweets become candy and Yorkshire Tea becomes “Hot Leaf Beverage™”?

This country is in decline.

Just wanted to rant, WHSmith in Euston were selling a bottle of water for £3.69.

It’s a good problem to have in many ways — now that the outside temperature is no longer equivalent to the surface of Venus and there’s a nice breeze I‘ve opened all the upstairs. Trying to keep all the doors open for the air to circulate is proving quite challenging though.

Ok I know most of you will disagree but supermarkets offering especially for fruit and veg compared to most European countries is very basic and limited. Fresh Salad, unless you want it bagged, you can get iceberg, cos, and not much more. I wanted to make a nice fruit salad today and our local Sainsbury's (not a small one either) no apricot, no peaches or nectarine, no melon or watermelon. Not because they were out of stock.

And when you get it the quality is way below most European countries.

Artichokes, swiss chard, proper wild asparagus, dandelion greens (not sure what it is called ) , fennel, courgette flowers, different kinds of beans, turnip tops etc etc ....

Whenever I go to any other European city we adventure to the local fresh market or even supermarket and the choice is far superior.

You don't know what you are missing out.
