29 Degrees and Anniversary today

Dave-O2 — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 08:41:48 GMT

Morning folks,

Hoping you've all woke up this morning to blue skys & sunshine wherever you are

It's possible that Manchester will see highs of 29 degrees today and it's also mine & my partners anniversary since we got togther (not marriage) 😅

So today i will be finishing at 12.30, to spend the afternoon out, hopefully find a nice park walk and maybe grab an ice cream, i've done Heaton Park too many times, so need to find somewhere new 😂

In more exciting news i've purchased some new garden fence panels, so i shall also be painting these later in the afternoon 🖌

Hope you're all able to enjoy the nice weather before the rain returns!

I'll be back tomorrow at 9am as usual, to pick up any notifications/PMs from this afternoon 👍

Enjoy the day @Dave-O2

Gorgeous weather here, not too far from your good self

Might I recommend a nice walk through Phillips Park or the White Rocks (my old stomping grounds)

Although a nice little boat trip around the Heaton Park lake is not to be dismissed

Thanks all 😊

@TallTrees i've gone for Hazelnut Oak, i have decking that is slate grey & my fence posts are white, so i didn't want to go for a colour that was too bright or dark for the fences.

@MI5 think i'll be drinking straight from the hose 😂

@jonsie Good shouts, sounds like i'm close to your old stomping ground, Whitefield. I used to enjoy a drink in the goats gate pub & lived on Stanley Road down the side of morrisons/the old bus station near the metrolink 👍

Yes I lived in Radcliffe until I got married then moved to Bolton

I went to school in Whitefield, Stand Grammar School before they knocked it down

I went for many a cross country run through Phillips Park (I walked the biggest part!)

Even after Marriage I played golf every weekend at Heaton Park or Stand golf club

I played cricket against all the local clubs too when I played for Radcliffe

Then we had kids.....!!

55 Years after my now wife and I had our first holiday together, after which she accepted my proposal of marriage

Enjoy @Dave-O2

It was our 58th anniversary on the 17/6.

As my husband is fond of saying, he'd get less than that for murder 😂

Looks like we are all June - had our 16th wedding and 23rd together this year!

I am under instruction to get our fences repainted (do it every other year) but am not planning on doing it in this heat!

Absolutely right @gmarkj. Not weather for painting fences. Dries too quick and bubbles up (as I found to my cost when I last painted the fences in a heatwave!) 😂

Now have a paint sprayer but still wouldn't paint in this heat.

Would have been my 55th anniversary tomorrow 20th June

Sadly not to be as my wife passed away 13 years ago....

Happy Anniversary 🎊 🍾

Thanks @Bella-Rox85 😁

@jonsie I went to St Monicas in Prestwich but lived in Bury, so i had an early bus commute every morning. It would have been easier going to Gabriels 😂

It's funny how we're all June @Cleoriff, @gmarkj, @Enlli & the fence painting continues tonight as there are thunderstorms forcast tomorrow.

But not before a take out curry which i'm picking up soon 😁

Have a good weekend all and catch you Monday

@Dave-O2

A curry? In this weather?. All I can manage is gallons of water. 😂
