Good grief it's going to be 28° here tomorrow!

I'll try to avoid the Edna Everage look @TodayIsatrickyone !

That sounds like a pleasant day @Swanhilde

Annoying about the house viewing @martha79 either a) they've been too busy to tidy up or b) the house is so lovely they don't want to leave 😃

Haha I wondered if the place was a mess, or they're not feeling well. Or they're being evicted and causing trouble. Who knows! Just enquired about somewhere else which is actually bigger for slightly lower rent, but not quite as nice an area.

It's all still to play for!

It’s 25c in my living room right now, goodness knows what tomorrow will be like. I hate heat and humidity

I just looked at next week. 🥵😭😭😭

I will be on the iced coffee and will get the paddling pool out again!

Think I can WFH all week at least.

It's so muggy today but I'm a bit better after a couple of days rest. Boring day tomorrow work wise but shouldn't be too taxing at least.

After goggling too much TV the last two days, I need to find something to watch later. I regret I can't do football just now. I usually enjoy the world cup. It's too late for me.

Have you been listening to world cup pundits ? 😜⚽⚽

So I’ve been referred back to the specialist. It’s an issue that’s been going on for a year so I’m not hopeful

Is it feeble to feel triumphant for having done the washing up? 😂

Haha I've never had to listen to sports commentaries since I left home at 18! My lovely Dad watched every football and boxing match going. I hope there is sport in heaven!

Gosh I'm not sure I fancy a scorcher 😎

DD2 & family gone to visit the in-laws who live next to a BEACH. What good timing.

JewelleryCat · 18/06/2026 15:52

@ValleyClouds feel as triumphant as you want. Be proud of doing the washing up

For people who suffer with the heat, can I recommend a Meaco fan? It cools you and the room you’re in down so much

I've heard good things about the Meaco!

I know they can be expensive but worth the money

I'm googling Aircon but fear I would need someone to help me get it upstairs. Sigh.

@TeaAndStrumpets buns of steel, haha as if.

@BendyAndTired I hear you. I'm told exercise does wonders for fatigue. However the health professionals don't see the things I have to sacrifice to have the energy in the first place to actually do it.

I do all my food shopping online and most other things. We are semi rural, not only can't I be arsed but I'm trying to limit unnecessary exposure to people whilst on chemo.

Not looking forward to the heat but we seem to be quite good at keeping our house cool. I use neck towels for me and the kids and the really do help. Took them with us out on trips when it was hot May half term, kids didn't moan half as much as they'd have done without them. We are in a weird part of the country where we tend to have an average higher daily temperature than the towns around us. Something to do with being in a basin and flat land around us. We are often in the daily top 20 places each heatwave.

ValleyClouds · 18/06/2026 20:04

It should not be acceptable to do DIY at this time.

MewithME · 18/06/2026 22:39

You having some trouble @ValleyClouds ? 🥺

Hope everyone can sleep well..nn.zzz

Morning all. Not the best time for DIY @ValleyClouds whether you're trying to do it or having to listen to other people do it!

It's already feeling quite warm this morning. I've got my Long COVID clinic appointment online shortly, one music lesson to teach then no other plans for the day. Will try to do a mixture of decluttering and resting.

ValleyClouds · 19/06/2026 08:38

@martha79@MewithME Next door sold but no one moved in. He comes and goes doing DIY at random times, I think he’s renovating to sell again.

Morning All!!

Hopefully it will soon be over! I agree it is annoying when everyone has their windows open.

Just loading up on tea before going to get eye test and order new specs. Long mental list of TV to watch once I can see!

I had such a bad night worrying about DGS. Reading about diabetic keto acidosis is scary. If his Mum hadn't taken him to A & E he could have gone to bed that night and never woken up. DH says there's no point being upset about something that didn't actually happen 🙄 I am also upset the GP saw nothing much amiss, but gave him reflux medicine and laxatives (went in with tummy pain)

Anyway sorry for my little rant! Yesterday was awful for horrible things in the news too, so it was all a bit much.

It's a lovely day so I will enjoy being in the sunshine for a while!

ValleyClouds · 19/06/2026 09:01

Flowers I’m glad DGS is ok, a lot of people don’t realise how dangerous diabetes can be

martha79 · 19/06/2026 09:22

Hope it settles down soon @ValleyClouds

It's totally understandable to worry and think about what might have happened @TeaAndStrumpets - we might logically know that getting upset isn't going to 'help' but it's one way our brains process things.

Had a good appointment - planned some things to do now and some (like return to exercise programme) to do whenever the house move is sorted. Mostly very impressed that she was keen for me to remember to do some nice/ fun things in the midst of the work/ househunting/ rehab activities.

That is such good advice to make space for fun/nice things!
