Update.... Just been back to the sunroom and errr, no idea what temperature it is other than hot.
Its definitely above 55.4 degrees in there as that is the limit it reads too

Well it's a fact the council wouldn't do it.

Health & Safety and all that.

There's too many melts on the council to begin with let alone the snowflakes that run it

This week hopefully will put an end to any drought warnings for a few months so can we have summer.

I'll even put up with the nanny state telling me I'm going to die if I go out or the endless boffins banging on about climate change if we have a decent week.

Bring me .

Wrong sort of rain

I've recently discovered that, on turning the hot tap on first thing, I save the cold water that would normally run away in two large jugs (oi - no, not them!!) and thence into buckets outside, to be used for watering my plants.
I also use one jug for the kettle all day.

There shall be no drought as I am saving this city from it, one jug at a time.

Try it?

(This is definitely nothing to do with the fact that I'm now on a water meter and paying far less than Severn Trent were taking on my bills before. Well, not much)

They'll blame it on El Nino

El Niño has begun, scientists say, and could bring record heat

An El Niño event has officially started, say US scientists, raising fears of extreme weather and higher temperatures.

I was just reading that funnily enough.

Happens every 7 years apparently and always has , suppose thats what Joseph in his dreamcoat referred to .

Then again the last bit made me smile

There is still no conclusive proof that climate change is making these events stronger or more frequent - but a warming world can supercharge their effects.

Your doing the last part wrong. Turn off your water feed at the toilet and use the water you have collected to flush the loo.
The more you water the plants in the garden the less resilient they become.

Don’t turn the hot tap on. Simple. When I’ve made a cup of tea with the electric kettle or boiled an egg, I use the remaining water to wash stuff like the flaming air fryer basket.

Have you thought of collecting the water from the shower. It uses a fair amount before it's warm enough to get under for a wash

Excellent point. At this rate I'll need more big jugs

I'm so glad we don't have a water meter.

Especially having a Son who has 3 showers a day

…and the more dead they become !

I thought so too. My roses can't be left to become resilient, they're my babies.
