Feeling hot hot hot

[Dave's Mam]

We’ve been making our own hay this week for the first time ever and we certainly chose a good time to do it in this weather! The farmer has been here bailing it this afternoon and I’ve not long been in after doing lots of stacking. We have ended up with 550 bales!! More than we thought - from approx 8 acres. Think we will have enough for the three horses will be selling some too.

That must be so rewarding!

That must be so rewarding!

it certainly is! It’s made lovely stuff, and it’s great that we know exactly what has gone into it!

 

[HorseMaid]

We've ended up with 26 big round wrapped bales off approx 3 acres, about twice as much as we need so I'm delighted - plus it rained a bit overnight so a huge relief we managed to get it done!

Doesn't look like we're getting any storms here and now the blasted sun is back out

 

[Chippers1]

It rained here this morning but it's now hot again. I haven't been riding as I thought it was too hot but now I'm feeling guilty for not exercising him. He's out 24/7 on a hilly field but I still feel bad for not riding, even though it's really hot?!

According to the forecast here it should have been tipping it down since 1pm if not before. It hasnt been and not looking likely

Same here, it rained this morning and late last night but it's boiling here today.

 

[Errin Paddywack]

We had a brief distant thunderstorm in the early hours and it actually felt quite nice at 8 but soon heated up and now is just awful. Worst day yet for humidity.

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

The humidity and stifling heat are disgusting, there's no breeze at all

Seeing headlines that we are in for a 2 week major heatwave soon, seriously hope they're wrong

 

[SO1]

I am actually at the Olympics in Paris. It is boiling hot here but the air b n b is probably cooler than my flat in London despite the extreme heat here.

Yesterday was really hot here we left the second hockey match after seeing GBR win as we were too hot to watch sweat was dripping off us and dress was soaked with sweat at the back from sitting down.

Thankfully today volleyball indoors but still hot wandering around.

Tomorrow athletics and another hot day.

Sorry, but I'm seriously hoping this is true!

Sorry, but I'm seriously hoping this is not true!

Me too!

It cam be a bit relentless if you're sitting outside with no shade or shelter.

 

[Dave's Mam]

I had a lesson this afternoon. I said to my instructor could we do longreining so I could avoid my hat & BP.
Yeah we did trotting & even some jumps. I will just put the hat on & deal next time.

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

The hideous heat is back down south, tonight looks awful, 20 degrees

Have got all the blinds drawn but heat is ramping up inside

Tomorrow looks absolutely disgusting

I've got a cracking headache

Hurry up autumn and winter!

 

[Jenko109]

Hurry up autumn and winter!

Blasphemy!

 

[SO1]

Yup 32C forecast tomorrow. I am going into the office to work due to aircon even though we can't drink the water due to pseudomonas I can take my own drinks in. I would struggle to work in the flat even with the fans on. It is the humidity as well.

I am off to my parents for one night on Tues to help them and as they still have the towel rail upstairs even though really warm and mum won't open the bedroom window due to hay-fever it is boiling hot upstairs dad sleeps with an electric blanket on. I will sleep on the sofa bed downstairs I might be able to open a window at night to get some fresh air.

Not sure what I am going to do with Bert today he may end up having today off. The perenial good doer issue being he really ought to have some exercise most days.

I've just finished clipping Bo. He had started looking very slightly fuzzy, and being all black he really struggles with the heat.

It looks like we might have a decent breeze here tomorrow so hopefully it'll take the edge off the temperature.

I am very grateful that this summer has been a bit better than last. I don't dread the Autumn so much if we've had some heat.

 

[Janique]

Ahh, the British people and the weather ! 5 full pages of it !

Only jocking ! 33 degree here in Switzerland, i am used to it, as i lived in Thailand and India.

My horse is in a big field and they go into the forest when it's too hot, they look ok.

 

[SO1]

I am still at the yard as cooler here in the tea room than at home. Bert had a hose down when he came in and if cools a little I may have a little pottle around the school later.

 

[MuddyMonster]

30° here and still loving it . Pony was hacked this morning & has had choice to find shade in his field ... he & friends were happy in sun the middle of the field!

I'm still completely mentally unprepared for Autumn, so just more of this please

I hope everyone that finds this weather hard, is coping ok though.

 

[santas_spotty_pony]

Please don’t wish for Autumn and Winter! It’s not very often we get weather like this so enjoy it while it’s here. 34 degrees forecast for us tomorrow in Lincs - I rode early this morning but might not get a chance tomorrow before work but the horses are coming in for a a good 6 hours or so out of the heat and flies and then go back in in the shady fields. A few days off won’t hurt them. I’m enjoying this weather.

 

[Dave's Mam]

Rode at 10 this morning & then Dave had a bath. It's hideously humid now. I hate it.

 

[PinkvSantaboots]

It's quite breezy out now but it's meant to be hotter tomorrow.

 

[criso]

There's been a nice breeze here in East Herts but I didn't ride as sicknote has a crusty scab (flybite?) right where the girth goes

Louis had one of those last week it looks OK now so can ride him again now.

Horse flies seemed bad this year but I haven't seen any for about a week so hoping they have all gone now.

No horse flies when we went out for a walk but lots of ordinary flies.

 

[pistolpete]

Had a gorgeous walk hack this morning in the trees. Very cool and relaxing. Was 28!

We don't seem to get alot of common fly here in my field but when I walk past the fields next door the horses in those are covered in them its weird.

I think its easier to say that if you like it though. I'm fat and metabolic and have spent all afternoon sick, dizzy and throwing up. Despite having a ton to drink and electrolytes. Heat like this is absolute misery for me. I have to go to work all day in a portacabin and I have no idea how I will do it.
