So bored!

When it’s hot I can’t go out apart from very early dog walks. I have no transport. I sit indoors, too hot to do anything useful like housework or gardening. I know it’s not good for anyone to be sitting most of the day and it’s so boring. I’ve done puzzles, read a book, done embroidery, had a nap. I need to buy several birthday presents but won’t be able to go shopping until the temperature is back to normal.
How do others fill these long heat wave days?

I had a ringing in my ears last night; wonder if that was caused by dehydration ( although I have been sipping lots of water). And my IBS has kicked in quite badly today, too. Hot weather and me don’t get on! I’m a winter person.

I sit in the garden re-reading all my favourite Victorian long novels: Middlemarch, Way we Live Now & Eustace Diamonds so far. I tell myself I’m storing up vitamin D, so no guilt.
