The boring thread.....

It's dropping down to around 29 today... but climbing up again after the weekend..

I sweat.. I think my hormones are all over the place..  
Not going out today..

Good luck England for tonight...

[Vlad]

Cooler here too. And yes, Good Luck England

[Mups]

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

Sorry Mups you're not young   it's yer glands,  https://snhhealthcare.com/why-do-older-folks-not-perspire.html

Oh  bugger it.  And there's me thinking I must be.    
Boo Hoo . . .   

[Mups]

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

So glad you are alright Michael.   
We wondered where you were.

We have an Easterly breeze blowing... lovely..

I had a dreadful night last night,  nearly morning before I fell asleep.

You'll have to get your feet up for an hour this afternoon Mups.  It is draining when you can't sleep, I've got an 'O' Level in this 

[Scrumpy]

My best sleep is after a cup of tea in bed.. 6am news.. watch it for 10-15 mins..
 Lay back down .. boom!!  Gone!!... 
I have been having some nasty dreams of late.. I blame the heat..

[klondike]

I imagine the heat messes with everyone's sleep. I wake early and can't drop back off. Then nod off in the day,  Go to bed fairly late. Rinse and repeat.

[Mups]

Good morning all. 
Isn't it so much better today,  and I slept better too. 

Just popping to the post office,  then must start some dog trimming,  as I haven't felt like doing it last week.

Nice breeze here today... Washing on line.. shopping sorted.. 
Going to cook some potatoes.. carrots..
I mash the potatoes.. slice the carrots .. 
I divide the mash and carrots into freezer bags and there you have it.. Individual veg ..
On hand to add to any meal..

[Alex]

Not bad here 27 degrees, I'll venture out later.
I do that with mash Scrumps, only I'm posh and use an ice cream scoop   I haven't tried it with carrots though.

[Scrumpy]

Add a portion of carrots in with the mash.. even a handful 
 of frozen peas..  Easy veg at hand.. From frozen.. 3/4 mins in microwave.. sorted..

Ice cream scoop!!! Wow!!! Well posh..

If I am ever in charge of cooking I might do that. ATM my OH runs the kitchen.  He's a fair cook, so I don't interfere. 😁

Have you ever thought about hiring him out?
