I am here idling @Mi-Amigo 

Posting my thoughts on the Hottest day (but not unheard of) 

Having been up since 6am to tend my plants in pots, put water out for the birds.

Looking at the questions ~ I may get some of these and if my brain isn't scrambled by lunch 

I will be popping in my answers to you then!  

Happiness is staying grounded 🤔

Thank you @TallTrees for your post.

I hope you manage to keep cool in the heatwave.

Good luck with the WRQ questions. Look forward to pm with your answers later.

Perhaps we will experience another "Ice Age" that'll confuse 'em 🤔 Ah that'll be December then 😂

[Spenny]

Hi @Mi-Amigo my PMs have been sent through.  A lovely choice of questions.  Some there I know, others I probably should know and have had to really think hard to pull out the answers from my head and at least a couple that I have had to guess the answer.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @adec and @Spenny 

Pleased you like the quiz, with a couple of head scratchers.

Due to the hot weather, I am making an exception to the usual rule of from when answers can be pm`d and will accept the early pms.

So thank you @adec
