Black Dog 30

We have sun today but it’s not too hot. I sat out reading all afternoon and did a bit of weeding.i hope we get a few days at least. It’s the
Son and family do have an ok diet but it’s the rubbish Dgd eats in secret that is the real problem. I’m not sure why her mum has put on weight.

Hi all
I,ve cooled down a bit - still frazzled though🥵
Wyllow- So glad you,ve booked a hols. Yorkshire is such a beautiful county - my DH is from there.
Walking by the river and having a coffee sounds perfect. I love to hear you doing happy things like that.
I feel as you do sometimes- much as I love company there sometimes comes a point when enough is enough.
Your Zoom meeting sounds like it helped and gave you food for thought.
HVDY- a nice day with LG -does she get on OK with the heat.
My DS hates it and he has to work all day in it as he is a sports coach.
What a shame your DGD has problems too. Your DS does his best by the sound of it but I guess sometimes the other girls all go to the shop after school. I remember being 15- it’s so in between neither adult nor child.
Hope you have had a nice day- you sound very fond of your DS ex. You have a big heart.
SweetPeaSue- Sorry about your lack of energy and low mood again- at least you rallied enough to get to book club. The heat is so draining though isn’t it.
EllieAnne- I,m sorry your DH isn’t well - hope he soon gets the haematology appt. But he does have to help himself as well - you have too much on your plate.
Ah bless your DGD she is so young to feel as she does. It shows what regard she has for you to confide such intimate thoughts and share her worries with you. Yes it would help her if her Mum could join her in a bit of healthy eating.
Doodle- the party sounded wonderful. A lovely day in a lovely place. Glad you enjoyed the food too. Just what you needed.
It has been so hot here today. We went out to a town that has a wonderful castle/fortress but oh the heat was awful. I felt about 150 when we got back in the car.🥵
Should have walked on the beach in the water instead. Never mind I,m terrible at trying to squeeze as much out of our days as possible.

I wasn’t sure whether to start the thread again but got brave and just went for it.
Love to all and take carexxx

Oh no HVDY Those sort of temperatures are not normal at all. We shut the curtains at back of house on a morning where the sun is, then close blinds/curtains at front on the afternoon. I think its best way.

Thanks for starting the thread Scaredycat

I cant 'see' your posts on other thread until I come out of this one so sorry if Ive not replied to questions.
I know one was how I did jacket potatoes. I dont think I do them properly either but I put a couple in microwave for around 4mins then finish them off in air fryer for about 20-25 mins to crisp up skins.
HVDY I do feel sorry for you and anyone else where its hotter - I cant bear the heat and its 24 here. I hope your DH goes on ok with the enlarged prostate - good they are monitoring it.
Doodle Hope you're managing in this heat - awful for you. Heard someone on TV say they put ice cubes in hot water bottles. Hope youve been with friends today too. Not sure if its your art day.
Wyllow Glad there might have been a breakthrough with Q D . I hate atmospheres. Pleased youve arranged a holiday- sounds really nice and Im sure it will do you the world of good to have a different place to explore. Oooh those eyes sound really horrid. Do hope theyre a bit better today- must make you feel very miserable. Will antibiotics help?
EllieAnne Hope youve got some warm dry weather where you are by now.

Been to Book group today. I was so down yesterday and so tired I wanted to crawl back into bed as soon as I got out. I lasted till afternoon then I just had to relent.
Hope everyone is ok.

Thanks for starting the thread, ScaredyCat. I didn't know how to. It's boiling hot here (32). We've got all the blinds shut to try to keep the house cool. Have you had a good day?

Hi all
Just come in from a tiring and mega hot day and hope you don’t mind me starting
Hope you are all keeping as cool as possible- except Ellie Anne who I hope has warmed up a bit!!
See you laterx
