Sam: Your cooled down weather would be about 36.5 Celsius. That's insane.

Conan: You know I'm already brown and wrinkly.

Savannah: Yes. I'm dealing with bricks too. Pain in the arse.

i keep hoping that lightning will strike the little fuckers down in my courtyard…I mean, have you ever knelt on bricks trying to weed between the blasted things? xoxo

Sam, we'd like a bit of that heat. Can you share?

Bock, you're not going brown and wrinkly from the head down?

Bock, right now I'd go out and dance about in my skanties if it would only rain. Last week temperatures reached 109 in Ojai and although the promised cool-down has come it has only cooled down to 98.

Primal: It's glufosinate ammonium but I think it acts pretty much the same way as glyphosate.

Mary: it happens here a lot, though I have to say, our experience of Welsh weather last month wasn't the best. (Not that we cared too much, having just won the European Cup).

So, I thought that it was only in Wales that that kind of thing happened!

Glyphosate (Roundup)? Am I right?

If so,then you should be fine. The intake by the leaves is very fast especially with the warmth (anything above 7deg.) today.

Leave it 10-14 days before you bother re-~~spray~~blobbing.

Been there done that. I spent over a week trying to spray paint a long fence in Kerry last year, (and I was supposed to be on holidays). The weather would be lovely every time I started, and would begin to piss just as I was about half way through and the fence was still wet. I was back a few weeks ago and only got it finished then.

That said, a San Francisoc summer is worse. It's fucking freezing here, as it always is in June. The place becomes foggy and windy until late August.

Hello Mr Ayres. I suspect that we share the same weather here and in Scotland, but I'm not sure about Norn Iron. I think they still have the good, solid, old-fashioned no-nonsense Ulster weather that King Billy gave them.

That's AyreS, dammit, with an S at the end.
