Heatwave Recovery, taking care of yourself.

It's my skin that needs to recover.
Having spent the last week in temperatures over 40 degrees, and being fair skinned, my face is like a beetroot, or a tomato. It will take a lot more than concealer, and I've left my roller ice balls back home. Then when it comes to my arms and legs, I've got several itchy red mozzie bites.

My back is not happy after inactivity because I’ve just lain around trying to conserve energy, not taken the dog out except for a short walk at 6am when it was still hot, and the garden has been a complete no no but now full of weeds. I must get going again but will be careful not to do too much at once.

me too, defrosting the little chest freezer
more ‘melange’ on the menu, found all sorts,

I turned up the cold of the chest freezer and fridge
freezer on Monday, noticed a big difference in the
electricity consumption on the monitor, so
turned them back down today.

The fridge is flooding, as though the hole at the back is
not allowing condensation to drain away.
Ive riddled it with the plastic thingy supplied to no avail.

Tomorrow if I’m up to it I will clean it inside
which I do regularly, sort it out,
give it a good riddling, its only
4 years old it shouldn’t be malfunctioning?

I did notice yesterday, ots a freestanding fridge freezer,
the terrific heat coming from the back, the space between
fridge and wall, so hoping it will behave a little longer.

Snap GrandmaofoneMackies ice cream and a nectarine just now.
Tonight chicken breast mayo sandwich and salad. And I've eaten several bags of salted crisps. I go with whatever I fancy. And as little cooking as poss.

I am defrosting the freezer this week, so lots of odd things to eat up

thank you for this advice, now I feel let off the hook somewhat

the temperature in the bedroom has dropped from 33 to 27 although there is not enough breeze to blow through and
clear the humidity and freshen the air

I do indeed feel depleted, no energy at all yet, totally ennervated.
I’m drinking water with slices of lime and lemon, don’t
even want to be bothered eating let alone cooking, hit the Mackies though, with soft fruit as though that somehow
makes up for all that fat and sugar.

I did cook a little chicken in the air fryer yesterday so that is
for dinner, now I am progressing to solid food ha ha

I had a craving for salt, ate a whole bag of salt and vinegar crisps, listened to my body, ignored my screaming waistline.

I hope everyone is ok, old folks, children, babies, pets.

Now only 26 weeks until Christmas

neatly segueing into -

YorkLady - cold turkey is the only way!

That doesnt sound great.

Not sure what foods would tempt you?

You have drank something I assume?

It is nearly 15.30 I and I haven't eaten anything, not even an ice ream!

I will be a shadow of my former self.

Taking it easier.
Come back from some days away, so out of routine anyway.

I was planning to go into town this morning but decided it was too hot, even though it is cooler than yesterday.
I need to get out of the house soon though.

Having eaten my body weight in ice-cream this week, I’m going to need a complete rethink of my diet 😩
