Hope Michael's  alright in this heat.   
Haven't seen him about for a few days.

I hadn't spotted that. I certainly hope he's ok.


Men don't get smarter as we age.  We just run out of stupid stuff to do.

I think he mentioned that he had carers coming in a few times a day. Maybe this heat is tiring him out, I know it's whacking me and I'm dozing a lot.

It's keeping me pretty inactive. Messes up nighttime sleep and that messes up the day.

My morning outing to the shop will be my only excursion today.

I did manage to get to the shop today.. We have more cloud cover.. Still very high temps..
I haven't been for a walk for a few days now..
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

I remembered I have an Amazon return so did go out. Post Office is 100yards away. No direct sun now. Still not pleasant out for me. I can't help but think it's because I'm older now.

Yeah we don't sweat when we're old, well not as much so it's  hard to keep cool.

The heat hasn't been as intense where Mike is. Family a few miles from his area say its been nice and sunny. 😎  Forecast around Perth is 18/19 degrees today.  Here in Yorks it's 27 ☀️

Hopefully he'll be back soon 🤞🏼
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

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.

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
Thank you for the days, the days you gave me

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  :rolleyes:
