Surprisingly, no bugger here bothers with that. Never really humid and always a nice breeze.

Not really, you've got buildings designed to cope and mitigate the heat, ours ain't.

Aye. We keep doors and windows shut, to keep house cool. And we are outside most of the day anyway. Laid under the new pergola right now

Soon be November!

Soon be November!

But with global warming November will be like July.

Dehumidify is one thing, it won't suck up flash floods

Dono what i am going to do with it but i got a big letter opener the same as this but not as good condition.

https://www.kingsshillingantiques.com/i ... dated-1917

I had a Remington 1907 pattern bayonet, WD stamped 1918. I paid £18 for it in 1973.

Wish I knew what happened to it.

I have seen these go for around £100 but way better condition than the one i have

Not that i bought it recently but i also have an old sewing machine. According to the serial number its from around the same era 1903-1907. Keep meaning to find parts to get at working properly but never knew the date until recently so may just make that a wee winter project. Make a nice door stop when done.

Those type of sewing machines are blooming lovely to use. Slower than electric but far more capable on far more fabrics!!!

Must be an island thing, we don't bother with air conditioning up here either.

I'm closer to outer space than I am the coast.
I'd love a nice sea breeze, but only if you can do away with tourists, traffic, the sea, sand and everything else that comes with living close to the coast.

Needed some new sportswear so went into T K Maxx. Got loads of nice Ellesse stuff in there so I'm looking like an Italian sporting god in my new tops, shorts and socks for a bargain price.

I still think the frock suited you better

Should have got Kappa gear, then you could hold your finger over the top bit so it look like a woman with her legs open.
