Mark, Keep doing what you are doing that best  for you , you know your  own body.

Off out today with the bowls club away day, I don't play but we get the opportunity  to use up spare seats,   off to  Hythe,  will be under a tree from 11 till three for me, I don't, or rarely sit in the sun.

Take care everyone, keep cool

LM, don't forget your summer hat and hopefully not too hot for you, with a cool breeze off the coast and some refreshing drinks.

Covered myself in sun cream,  don't  wear a hat but I am sure we are going   be in the park area where there is a waterway,  can watch the silly people trying to canoe, that should be fun, with an ice cream or 2.

Quite simply we stay inside, curtains drawn, fans on, with cool - but not alcoholic drinks to hand, and do as little as is humanly possible in this sort of weather! Even put an ice cube or two in the cats' water bowls.

The town was busy with tourists today, but I managed to find a nice button through linen top in a charity shop, so will wash it through along with my bedding tomorrow, when we have one hour's free electricity (2-3 pm), courtesy of our kind electricity company.  Another reason it's busy is that it is Gay Pride Day, and all sorts of things are going on in the town, with some very strangely dressed folk and lots of music. It certainly livens up this sleepy and rather old-fashioned seaside town!

Yesterday I had the dressing from my (pacemaker) wound removed at our GP surgery. The hospital had told me that I could remove it myself, but I'm glad I chose to go to the surgery, as the practice nurse told me that the wound had not quite healed, and she put on another dressing, which can be removed, either by me or at the surgery.  She had to use some tweezers for the job, which came in a a sterile packet, and offered the tweezers to me at the end, as she would otherwise have had to throw them away!  They were rather good sharp ended ones, so I took them home with me.  You never know when you might need them!

It's cooler here - max 20C today, 24C yesterday.

I sit out, just wearing shorts, but come in between 12:00 and 14:00.
Drink plenty of fluids.

Having to measure fluid input and output at the moment; but last day of 3 today.
Never had to measure my mug of tea before!  :D

We agree TY - inside unless there is shade to sit in. We have been refreshing our viewing of Downton Abbey early episodes. We have the set on dvd so it’s very useful . Tv has been showing the series and I think it’s on to series 5 but we were late to their showings so went back to the beginning. Just what you need for doing ‘as little as possible ‘ as you say.

A strange weather day today, bright early sunshine that promised a scorcher.
Son’s bed completely stripped all washed and both lines full.
Then it got very dark and some rain , short showers but still warm.
However managed to get all dry and ironed.
Son is off to his old Uni friend in Birmingham.then on to Head  Office.
Away about a week.

Tesco delivery about ten O’clock .

Hope your wound heals well  Gillig ,and that your measuring was accurate, K.G.

I have a few items from Charity shops, my prize is a little red jacket still with labels from ,so never worn, from John Lewis , price £64 ,charity shop £16-!
I give lots away but I ought to have done most well before now.
I lost a lot of weight so had to get new clothes, but in the event I shall gain weight I have hung on to many favourites.
I have two bags of clothes to go, some books, a radio / CD player that just needs some attention but works. The shops all have an electrician who safety checks all electrical products
I bought a really large SlowCooker , had  a smaller one but for big batch cooks the large one is wonderful ,only £7 for something probably priced at teens of pounds .Had the label to show it had been checked and tested.
I have a pair of brand new expensive shoes , cost a fraction of the full price.
They had never been worn, the soles still shiny and totally unmarked.
We buy things in shops that other customers may have tried on , we never know.
I have lots of good educational toys for when the tiddlers come, at a fraction of the cost new. They played with communal toys at Nursery and I don’t see the difference..
Well time for a de - caf coffee. Tesco delivery then bed.
Hope all have a good restful night .
 Cheerio.

Viktoria.

Seems like it's rather keep cool, calm and carry on best as possible with reading posts this week, definitely wintry weather to come for down under with having just had shortest day but some good and mild days in the mix thankfully. Autumn leaves still clinging on here and there and a pretty day to end a holiday weekend today.

I also have plenty from op shops, don't like useful items going to landfill and happy to donate or buy. A few very good buys for my wardrobe over the years, so much textile waste with high fashion and super cheap clothing alike when it comes to women's clothing in particular! My children were happy to have a few garments from a friend's daughter a bit older and now same scenario with oldest granddaughter, some 'designer' items grown out of. Fortunately not too much in way of designer items about when my girls were young, made most of their clothes myself, including school uniforms and dance wear etc as did my own mum with perhaps something shop bought rarely but otherwise home-made/ hand-me-downs from sister to sister and comfortable with that  :)

As for comfort ... wish all that for each as we see out another week!
