Will someone please come and shoot me? Just spent 1.5 hours mowing the front lawns and I still have to do the back Sad

I love the hot weather but it really isn't for working in.

If I could muster the strength I would put you out of your misery. Too hot for me I am staying indoors with a cool fan til later, him indoors is flat out in his lazy boy with a can of Old English watching the cricket. The nicest thing about this type of weather is the lovely evenings Cool

sit on your lawn later but don't mow it.

Well it's done now anyway. To be honest I'd rather have been mowing the lawns than watching cricket Laughing

The Old English sounds good though.

I can only remember going to the pool at the park once. Is the pool still there and what year did it close?

Abergavenny outdoor pool was still open until some years ago and I went there a few times with the kids. Unfortunately that one has gone too now. I think they are something of a rarity nowadays.

I have been in Birmingham living for the past 30 years but I can remeber the open pool in Abertillery Park had some great times there especially the school hols. The indoor pool had just been built when I left Abertillery if I remember correctly it was near the Council Offices.

Yes it was near the council offices. However the pool has now been closed at that site - the building is still used as an indoor bowling centre. A new leisure centre has been built where tyleri court stood.

Oh and the council offices is no more either. It has been replaced with a block of flats.

Thanks for your reply. I havent been back home for a few years the last time I came down was a few years ago to bring my father's ashes back to be put in his mam and dad's grave at St Pauls Cemetry. It wasn't a very nice day so couldn't look around to much. Did notice how Cwmtillery Lakes has changed I can remember swimming in the sheep dip when it was hot. It looks a nice place now to have picnics.
The valley is so green now they have closed the pits. I use to live in Gwern Berthi Road.
Do anyone know of anybody that use to live it that area.

Do not know many people in Cwmtillery but maybe this will help.

Hi again. I was living in Brookside Row around 30 years ago and I knew some people - mostly children admittedly - at the top end of Gwern Berthi/Winifred Terrace/etc.

Hi did you have some rain, thunder and lightening today, it has cleared the air in Birmingham, it is nice and fresh at present but according to the weather forecast we are going back to the hot weather for the next 10 days. Well I suppose I could do what some people are doing in Birmingham go to our Town Square and cool off under the fountain.
