I blame the heat..

I've had enough now.  I usually take my friend shopping as she doesn't drive but I told her I couldn't go in this heat, but maybe about 6pm tonight when it's cooler.  Ha, just checked the forecast and it's going to be 31 ° at 6pm

ooh 'eck !   

.I was putting black shoe polish on an old penny coin Chap asked me why I was doing that. " Because old penny blacks are worth a lot of money."

thanks for the thoughts, folks. Heat just about knocked me out these couple of days - even with front and back doors wide open ie 30C inn the lounge despite a fan and a pifco tower full on.
Today should be better - about 19. Just spoken to Mary in Hereford and is already hot there

It's cooler here too thank heavens.
Even 19/20 degrees is too hot for me now. I used to sunbathe in  much higher temperatures but got sunstroke one year it was awful, 😢 Now the heat makes me light headed and I feel like I'm going to pass out, not everytime it's hot but mostly. It's the reason I won't go out to Aus to see one of my sisters, she's been asking me for a long time but I don't want to take the chance of getting sick.

It's cooler here too thank heavens, it's also drizzling away, that type that soaks you through.

Forecast today is a bit cooler than yesterday here

We are on RED alert from 13:00 to 16:00 today, Amber alert for the rest of the time. Have spent an hour in the garden, frightening the half shrivelled weeds, done the routine housework stuff - including preparing tonight's meal and shoving a couple of large jugs of water in the 'fridge. Will dally in here while enjoying tea and toast, before logging in to my course with OU. The computer is in my Craft Room, which faces North, so it is always a little cooler in there than any where else.

I do not like hot weather - but it is not going to beat me!
