It's when people start speaking to you in a bright  cheerful voice you have worry !

As long as it doesn't frighten the horses who cares ?

If I did that, it would frighten me,  let alone the horses.  

When I went out this morning,  on the way I came across water pumping out of a leak somewhere,  and pouring fast down the road,  and running  down the hill.

About one and a half hours later,  I came back that way again,  and the water was still really pouring down the hill,  and flooding both sides of the road.  
There seemed to be just one man in van in attendance,  and he was on his phone.

You'd think they would send more than one bloke to try to stop a major leak in this heat wouldn't you.
Next thing we will be hearing  about water shortages, and reservoirs drying up!

How much water do you try and drink each day  -  or don't you?

They are always telling us we should have 'so many'  glasses,  but they never say what size glass they are talking about! 
There would be a lot of difference between  4 little tumblers  to 4 pint size ones, wouldn't there.

So what do you like to aim for?
I have been drinking about 3 and a bit pints during this hot weather,  plus tea and coffee as well.

It is still 27°  (85f)  in my bedroom tonight,  even with a nicer cool breeze  blowing in. 

I can jump in the shower,  but within 5 mins,  I am still just as hot again. 

Quote from: Flying Bomb on Yesterday at 05:18:57 AMMany of us are only beginning to realise how serious this can become
in future years. There's that idiot Trump who claims Global warming isn't happening.
I'm getting concerned, although at my age (93) I shall not be around
to see how humanity copes with it in the future

Yes.
The future is looking bleak for our children and grandchildren .

Thanks Alex, Scrumps and Muddy.  
I think you've gathered how much I luv the little toe rags.  

Quote from: Scrumpy on Yesterday at 07:18:38 PMThe poor animals left without water or shade.. So sad..
I make sure the birds have plenty of water for bathing and drinking.. I also put water out for the creatures that are at ground level.. I put pebbles in the water so the flying creatures can settle on a stone in order to get a drink..

You are a kind and thoughtful gal,  Scrumps.   
They recommend about the water and pebbles in my gardening magazines too.   The Bees can land and get a drink after all their hard work,  and it also helps small creatures  climb out of the water too. 

Quote from: Mups on Yesterday at 03:41:25 PMThanks CHF.    They are both home now, and with just a couple of stitches each.  I thought they were the dissolving stitches, but they are not,  so they'll need to go back in about 10 days to have them removed.
So good to have them home again. 

Cutie Petuties !
