It getting quite hot here now after a nice cool start too

The children's song - this clip is the most tolerable of those I found as the majority  are longer and sing the song over and over

That was short El, thank goodness

I have noticed Eurosport have added another 6 channels. One assumes it will be for Olympic coverage

I think that is likely, It's the BBC and Eurosport covering the Olympics. BBC One will be predominantly Olympics, BBC Two will have some though will be showing the cricket 100 matches and some other television for those who aren't sports fans. The Eurosport channels will be subscription ones.

The cricket 100 tournament is new and attempt to attract young people to cricket. Problem is that the players are in teams which have been created for the tournament. There's a small number of Gloucestershire players in the Welsh Fire team and a small number in the Birmingham Phoenix team so there's no team that I can say I particularly want to win. More to the point, I don't care who wins.

I get three channels Eurosport with my package. It just seems they added the rest overnight. The only one that doesn’t appear the be free is Eurosport 4K

Maybe when the Olympics get going they will be subscribed channels El

It was this news article which mentions Eurosport as being a subscription channel:

'Squiggly wiggly' fossils rise from a Jurassic sea'

BBC has changed the headline to "'Jurassic Pompeii' yields thousands of 'squiggly wiggly' fossils" which isn't as good as their original one.

No, I agree El

Good evening everyone

Hi Moonie

Unfortunately the sun comes round the front in the evening and our bedroom is at the front. It’s still like an oven, even though I have a fan on full blast on me

I’m glad you had a good day, mine was good too

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros

Hug for any night owls

Hiya

The sun rises on the front of my house but by about 1pm it moves round the back. My bedroom is at the front

Fankoo and I’m glad you had a good day too

Nighty night, sleep well, sweet dreams Yogi  Rosss, El and all Buddies

love this EL really interesting

night moonsieee yogi EL

Good morning everyone it's a little cooler this morning but we're in for another very hot day. Fellow sufferer here Yogi my bedroom windows face North and West. The sun shines through the West facing window fiercely until sunset even though the curtains are drawn. Mind you they're a little flimsy being cream lace, a poor choice in these conditions but they are very pretty.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Another hot and sunny day with a high of 30°. Expected to be cooler tomorrow though warm (26°).

On the BBC site, some photos of lightning rainbows:

I hope everyone has a good idea

Good morning everyone

A warm start to the day here. We are expected to reach 30°

It’s going to be much cooler tomorrow though, Just 25°. Saturday 20° with a weather warning for rain

Enjoy your day everyone and stay hydrated

That rain warning covers a large area but if you look at the detail there's the possibility that some places could get up to100 mm of rain much of which could fall in a short period of time. The warning is a yellow one but will change if the Met Office can identify the areas most at risk. Areas most at risk seem to be the sooth west and the southern half of Wales.

To be honest I haven’t studied it that close El. I just notice the weather warnings for Saturday/Sunday

A hundred millimetres is a lot of rain though

Moonie, I'm glad you've got all your television channels back

Something I heard by chance on Radio 6 last night. Indie group from San Francisco called Cindy:

Doesn't wholly work for me but there's a touch of this about the music:

Not a series I ever watched but the theme music is famous.

For those of you, if any, who watch "Death in Paradise" there's to be a 90 minute special over the Christmas period  Danny John-Jules as Officer Dwayne Myers returns for this episode.

Amongst the cast for this episode is Juliet Stevenson. Same league as Anton Lesser and David Suchet when it comes to the human voice:

She often is the reader of poems on Radio 4 as is Anton Lesser.

Good evening all. Another very hot day.

Squiggle, your curtains sound very pretty.

El, I love the lightning rainbow pics.

Moonie, have you visited the swans recently?
I hope everyone has managed to stay cool.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros

I hope you have had a nice day in spite of the hot weather

Good morning everyone it still feels warm this morning and I think the hot weather plans to stick around for one more day.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Not quite as sunny here as recently. Forecast high is 27° so a bit down though very warm.

I hope everyone has a good day

There's a British 1960 comedy film called "And the Same to You" on Talking Pictures today. I've never seen it and I doubt if it's worth watching but it has some well known people in the cast.

There are some actors who had been in films for some years before 1960 such as William Hartnell and Sid James.
But there are two people who you don't think of as being in films:
Brian Rix who is best known for the television farces made during the 1960s and quit acting to become president of Mencap,
and Tommy Cooper (who was in only one other film and the short silent "The Plank")

82 year old Ian McKellen as Hamlet:

Article doesn't mention that Hamlet's mother Gertrude is played by Jenny Seagrove who is 64.

Good morning everyone

Lovely cool, breezy start to the day here . The forecast is, cloudy, changing to sunny intervals by lunchtime. A high of 24°. That will suit, me for one, better

Yogi, good to see you here again

Enjoy today everyone

Moonie, that's a better temperature for you 24.9° here at present and rising.
