The official NerdZoner's weather zone! How's your weather today?

[Retro]

It's really hot at home now, but sitting right next to the fan at max speed makes it reasonably comfortable. If I have to move to other places, I quickly come back to my desk! I can also open the windows now that the air outside is cooler than that within.

When I opened a window a couple of times during the day, I could really feel the heat coming from it, so didn't leave it open for longer than necessary. Problem is there's heat with no wind during these heatwaves, so you can't even get a coolish breeze blowing through, just oppressive heat.

100, you'd best go outdoors now, Retro. It's lovely outside

We are unusually cooler for July with occasional pop up storms but still in the mid 90's (F) and upper 90's (F). I'll take it though. I don't feel like dashing from one tree to another to get out of the sun when I'm outside with my dogs lol.

Tiffany, talking about dogs....it was yesterday I was wandering down the stationery isle of a department store when I saw right in front of me the sweetest thing sitting in a baby stroller: a little Pomeranian the color of your Bear.

I was immediately smitten and wanted to stroke him, but asked his mum, and she said he is 'little nervous with people' (the lady was Polish).
So ok, I just stood there really close to him but not touching, looking at stuff, (as if.... in my head I was totally focused on the dog), when all of the sudden I feel a wet nose nudging my hand! omg. I look at his mum and she smiles and nods so I knew it was alright; so I did stroke him, on his little head and down his cheek, such soft soft fur down his little cheek. He was looking at me and he had this wonderful, warm look in his brown eyes, and he was not afraid.
And you know, I thought about you and your Pommies. You are one lucky lady.

How is Bear and Snowy with strangers? Is Gadget a scaredy one?

That's a lovely story Mars, made my day.

That's a lovely story Mars, made my day.

Yeah, that meeting in the stationery isle made my day as well; that little doggie was such a sweet thing sitting there in his little stroller, panting a bit, but we still made friends, that's the main thing.

Makes your day on a Friday night, doesn't it <3
If you had to choose between cats and dogs what would you choose?
@Retro @Tiffany @Mars and anyone else of course

 

[Retro]

Cats hands down, of course. I like all animals though, but I'd choose a cat as a pet.

ppl, it looks like the heatwave is set to peak to today with temperatures over 34C.

The third heatwave to hit the UK this summer is set to peak on Saturday, forecasters have said, with highs of more than 34C possible in some areas.

Amber heat health alerts are in place for the Midlands and southern and eastern England until 9am on Monday, warning of a potential rise in deaths, particularly among those aged 65 and over or with health conditions.

Temperatures hit 34.7C at Astwood Bank, near Worcester, on Friday, according to the Met Office, with similar or even higher temperatures expected on Saturday.

Global warming? Nah, complete figment of the imagination...

I assumed that London is always the hottest during heatwaves! Well, while it was on Monday and Tuesday of last week, it appears not so this time round, thankfully! 29C here today!

The giant laser in the sky is out to get us!

The giant laser in the sky is out to get us!

You know, that comment of yours made me think of why have ancient civilizations believed that there was a god up there in the sky, raining all hell upon earth.
We can really see how they would have believed there is a powerful being up there, fashioning lightning and whose roar is Thunder.

@Mars I really enjoyed hearing about your experience in the store meeting a sweet Pomeranian. I can only imagine how special your experience was in that moment. A lot of us tend to not live in our moments by capturing a moment in time that may have a lasting memory, instead we are too busy to "stop the world and get off" for a few minutes in our busy lives. If more of us take those moments like you did, we all would be stronger spiritually within ourselves and more aware of what life brings us daily that we tend to miss. Nice to read and I hope you have more encounters with some sweet animals to come.

My Pom's are very friendly, too friendly actually. When people come over to my house, it's all about them, something Victoria Stilwell (dog trainer) would frown on. We get through it by having treats at the door, so guests give them treats and then my Poms go on their way, at least for those few minutes lol. My Gidget, however, expects everyone to greet her at her little "perch" where she has her comfy bedding and blanket on the couch. She expects, no demands, a tummy rub. Gidget is an unusual Chihuahua as she's not scared of people and not nervous, except if it storms, which we had some storms last night and I couldn't move on my couch because Gidget and Snowy were almost sitting under my chin.

Back to weather... Is everyone getting a reprieve on hot weather this week?

 

[Retro]

because Gidget and Snowy were almost sitting under my chin.

Oh, that's adorable. Tiffany needs to get up, but doggies say no!

It's still really hot where I am, but the fan is helping. I'm about to turn off the PC as it kicks out significant heat in this weather. Don't worry though, as I'll be about on my iPhone.

News reports say that it should start cooling down from tomorrow.
