The HEAT...in UK

Ah, thank you both.
It is rather a strain when I'm like a boiler, bubbling away.

My right knee, which has osteoarthritis, also suddenly gave up last night. I could stand up this morning but turning left was agony.
I rested all morning indoors
Maybe some of those crumbling bits inside the joint had found a better position? Then suddenly it was ok!
Whether it was connected to the heat God only knows.

I’m like that if I sleep in an odd position (usually so the dog can stretch out more….).

drink plenty and stay out of the sun between 11am and 2pm.hate this humid weather . i already drink lots of water to keep hydrated due to kidney problems .

I heard the other day that by the time you feel thirsty you are already dehydrated. So people should sip water constantly when it’s hot.

Just come in from eating dinner outside, sorry for those who do not like the heat, but it’s the closest thing we can have to a Mediterranean Evening, Vino Blanco, Gambas et Patatas Bravo.

Well I am in Spain been here for 6 weeks with another 4 weeks to go.Every day is sunny no rain at this time of year and you just adjust to it and use the air con at night. Its lovely to have a real summer and to wear shorts and vest tops every day such freedom . I appreciate the lovely weather and dread having to return to uk in 4 weeks.

Oh it’s fine when in Spain and there is air con....we don’t have it here!
I really hate it I must say and can’t wait for it to cool down at the end of this week. Who wants to cook/ bake / do any housework when it’s so hot.Took a book to read and a cold drink to a shady part of the garden and it was still boiling hot, ten mins and I went in again,

Don't moan about the heat, we get little enough of it in Britain. People are falling over themselves to go to a warmer climate for their holidays, we have had 3 warm days and people are moaning.

Correction...hot ( boiling hot here) not warm.
I like warm, warm is fine and dandy.

I’m too fat to get into any of mine.
I’ve got plenty of winter fleeces that fit though.

Agreed 'Who wants to cook/ bake / do any housework when it’s so hot.'

so just don't do it- easy peasy (lol just realised ... lemon squeezy)

It’s so hot now, 29 with the fan on and curtains closed, I feel like I’m being poached.
Have been forced to eat two packets of cheese and onion crisps as I know it’s important to keep your salt intake up ?

i tied ice packs round my wrists to sleep last night

Didn’t the sheets get wet ? ( Seriously )

I am 100% over this. Never could tolerate heat and my little ones tolerate it even worse, I think. I hugged my eldest this afternoon and wow, she did not smell like roses and violets. She tried complaining that she was only showered last night but back into the shower she was herded

Not so easy peasy if you have guests staying with you.

Quite right, crisp eating is compulsory when the temp goes up so high, it would be dangerous not to.?

Thanks for that handy tip.
I'm crispless at the moment.
Do you think a packet of cheddars would do the same, or should I eat 2, just to be on the safe side?

2 packs minimum ( there’s hardly anything in them!) or you could make up the shortfall with a large pack of dry roasted peanuts.

There’s supper sorted ?

Lovely jubbly!
It's so important to keep up my sodium intake.
Cup of coffee to wash it down.

I'm usually crispless but it just so happens I ordered a large bag which arrived with the groceries last week!

Now, where did I put it?

Salty crisps for supper and a banana for pudding, sodium magnesium and other vitamins and minerals all sorted!
?

I've only got salt and vinegar flavour crisps left and I hate those (they sting when you eat them). Got some non salted cashews; will they do?

Oh I love cashews!
Salted, unsalted.
I love 'em all.

Oh that sounds so tasty !!
Wish I had some.
I was reading and thought I had another big floater in my eye but it was a speck of melted chocolate that must have pinged off my Kit Kat and stuck to my glasses. That’s a relief.
