Dentists appointment…

Well that was a waste of time!

I set out early and spent half an hour in a very hot car travelling about 1.5 miles. I had to walk quite a way due to no spare parking spaces.

I got in to the dentists and reported to reception, ‘your waiting area is upstairs’. Oh! About 20 steep steps, one handrail. If I got up I would struggle to get down. Parkinsons does not make things easy.

So I explained it was not possible. I didn’t want to fall. I asked if I could go in a downstairs consulting room. They tried their best and my dentist tried hard to see if they could fit me in later. But they didn’t ask me! In the end I stopped them. ‘why don’t you let me come back another day?’ they were relieved, I was relieved. Going back in a couple of weeks. The trip home? Another traffic jam. I’m home and hot and bothered with no treatment. I need a rest!

Threatening rain

Cooled down and gone overcast. The temperature is now 23.2°C, the screen is showing rain and a barometer reading of 1006 millibars. I think it is hotter outside.

My friend is experiencing 26°C where he lives which is about 100 miles north east of here. I think the worst thing is the humidity. I feel like I’m sitting in a sauna. Hopefully it will cool down and feel more comfortable as the evening goes on. I’m very tempted to eat another ice cream, but I’ve already had one today!

Sore throat

Ugh!

Gotta bug!

Feeling ill and tired.

Didn’t sleep

Stayed awake

My throat sore

When I swallowed.

Feeling hot

Headache too

I don’t know

What I’ve acquired!

Better be well

I two days time

When singing

I will be

With a choir!

A whole mug of coffee!

Argh

Literally just knocked a whole mug of coffee over on the carpet. It’s a good job it’s dark charcoal coloured! I grabbed the first thing to hand, a bath towel. I’m going to our some cold water over it in a minute. Wish me luck!

Crumpets toasted with butter.

Delightful taste

Hot and scrumtious

When I was young

We toasted them

On the gas fire bars!

Used a fork to hold them

That was before we got

A toaster

Tasty

Hot cat

The cats run out

It’s cooler under the trees

Where the breeze blows

Sleeps in the bushes

In the shade of green

They come in for food

Then scarper away

Before I can catch

Up with them

27 °C or more today

Too hot for cats…

A cup of tea

Posted on August 5, 2023August 5, 2023 Posted in UncategorizedTagged Anxiety, beverage, disappeared, Drink, Food, Hot, Hubby, mansplaining, Tea2 Comments

I asked hubby for a cup of tea, ten minutes ago. He put the kettle on then wandered off somewhere. I can’t make it myself as I’m walking around with crutches. My balance is a bit off and I’m still in pain so I’m struggling to support my weight on my foot, I’m getting better but the damage only happened four days ago.

I know it’s hard for him, his mental health isn’t good. I asked him to cook tea earlier. I had to tell him to read the instructions, he can’t hear me because he gets irritated by his hearing aids. When he’s in the kitchen and I’m in the living room, he says my voice sounds like “wah wah wah”. Then he accused me of “mansplaining”, I was just trying to help him. I know his anxiety is bad, how do I help without appearing to interfere?

I’ve just written this and still no sign of him!

Lavender

Posted on July 31, 2023July 31, 2023 Posted in UncategorizedTagged Colour, Flowers, Gardening, green stems, Hot, Lavender, Life, Memories, Purple, Summer, Time2 Comments

Lavender, lovely flower, place for bees to sip and feed. Likes hot and dry conditions. The aromatic oils create a delightful scent. Growing in fields of purple and green. Row upon row of beautiful flowers. People still make little bags of lavender flowers to sit under their pillows and help with sleep.

I have tried to grow it but it’s too damp and shady in our garden. I might grow a small plant, but it never flourishes like these plants in the photo.

I remember having a rockery at my childhood home. I think we had lavender growing in pockets of soil in it. It thrived in hot summers when the sun was baking hot.

Hot

Sundays #bandofsketchers prompt was hot…I’ve tried to draw a hot landscape, perhaps it could be death valley. The hot colours in the sky at dawn. What will the temperature soar to? The colours were done with glitter pens and a black italic nib pen.

Two cats together

It’s hot, and the cats have come into the living room to enjoy the breeze from our oscillating fan. They won’t sit right in front of it but are off to one side so they can feel a bit cooler. I’ve got the back door open for once after dosing myself up with hay-fever spray. Usually the windows and doors stay firmly shut but it’s hot AND humid tonight. It’s rained for a bit so that’s cooled the atmosphere slightly. Meanwhile the cats just decided to mooch off somewhere else xxx
