I heard this morning our time, that England had its hottest October day on record - 29 degrees, is it still hot at this time of the morning? With us we should be getting warmer weather, but Thursday was 10 degrees, yesterday 12 degrees!!

Thats right and I am not far from where the hottest temps were recorded.

It would be cooler if I went to bed but my lounge has not cooled down and have no decent widows to open :-( I used to love hot weather but unfortunatly due to the condition I suffer from now I cannot cope with it anymore
