Are You Finding the Hot Weather is Making you Short Tempered?

I am no more grumpy/short tempered than normal 😹

No.
But I am lazier!

Perhaps you are simply noticing the 'negativity' more just now?
Here is a cool sip of your favourite tipple to enjoy as you scroll. 🥂

I feel much better physically and mentally. Long live the warm weather.

Lazier, reading more. I am also getting more washing done it dries so quickly.
I am doing basic cleaning and doing the garden later in the evening.
I love going out to eat in cafes when I go out but find now I only have a drink.
Shirty comments and posts sbout people's literacy are ignored. Too hot to bother with posters like that.

The very warm weather does make me a bit more lethargic than usual but not grumpy.
I don’t really think that warm weather is an excuse to be scathing of others. In fact I can’t think of any acceptable reason to be openly critical of others whether for their political beliefs, their personal circumstances. their literacy skills or anything else.
Only outright rudeness, racism and outright lies should be challenged but even then can be done with a modicum of politeness. Challenge the issue not the poster.

I get much more lethargic in the heat. I really find temperatures of more than about 26C intolerable.
And, yes, I’m grumpier than normal because I loathe not being able to do things, sweat like the proverbial pig and turn into a panda with a scarlet, glowing face with white round my mouth and eyes…

NO! WHAT DO YOU MEAN !!!!!

I raise an eyebrow when I spot a spelling mistake , too lazy to do anything else

Often a spelling mistake is more a quick typing error. Or fat finger. Or not so good vision. The only one that drives me almost to drink is ".could of" instead of "could have" etc.
But to be honest in too hot or too cokd weather I don't really care that much.

Today and this week, I would love it if the enforced hiding from the heat allowed me to do more indoors. But it's too hot. And would be a bit silly healthwise. Lets all try and steer clear of A&E by being sensible.

I can roll my eyes reading about GNs doing things outdoors in hot weathee when all that can wait for cooler weather.

Regarding literacy skills, it’s really rude to draw attention to any posters who make errors.

I once posted here under a previous name, at the time I was going through a breakdown
I came on to try and get some normality back in my life.
I made some spelling mistakes and didn't punctuate correctly, the pedants were on it immediately, I was ridiculed.

The hurt and damage stayed with me for a long time.

I get jealous when I read of older people, being involved in so many activities and I’m just lazying around 😂

aggie Your eyebrow must get plenty of exercise when you read my posts.

One of the few advantages of being dyslexic is that I simply don't notice errors.

Pleased you are "in a better place" now.

Thank you and yes very much so.

The “playground bullies” had a field day.

I feel sorry for them now that they had to stoop so low to make themselves feel bigger.

I seem to have gone into siege mentality and am 'stock piling' strawberries, lollies and chick lit

I thought it was common knowledge on this site now that nobody was to correct anybody’s spelling….🤷‍♀️(it’s very rude)
I had it done to me a couple of years ago by somebody l don’t see on the site now and I was really put out by it and I told her so as well….😬

I agree, as the Queen of errors/typos/brain faster than finger/fat fingers on tiny phone keyboard.

It just doesn’t matter!!! The world won’t stop turning nor will the sky fall in.

I get very annoyed, however, at poor spelling/grammar and lack of editing or proofreading of professional reports/news articles etc etc These people are being paid and there’s no excuse!

Yes, but it's not helped by the fact that I fell downstairs last week and I've damaged ligaments in my foot (as well as bruises here, there and everywhere), so I'm hobbling around with a special boot thingy on. That doesn't make it easy to get out into the garden either, as we have a flight of stone steps leading down from the house to the garden (the ones I fell down). So I'm sore and grumpy!

I am getting a bit shirty - as my old mum would put it - due to less sleep and the general discomfort of living in London during a heatwave. Would really like to decentralise the weather system and share the extreme temps with other UK cities. We always seem to get the worst temps. And that was a rant because I am fed up now and am going to put my feet in a bucket of cold water.
