28th June

Today Matt had obviously been using Daz. His white shirt gleaming against the blue background. And the blue being the sea not swathes of rain (aprt from a bit off the south west coats)! A grey start for most of us today, but another warm day. Lots of cloud by the seems of it (we certainly have it here, hardly seen the sun at all :( ) and more storms in some parts. I'm just looking forward to this heatwave!! Even if I do have to go to work :( Hot is hot wherever you you! And my desk is by the window.

No banter to report. Charlie asked Dr Rosemary what the symptoms of sunstroke are..............you mean there are people who have not had sunstroke!! What's that all about! They've not lived!!!

Look at those loverrrrly temperatures, if you can take your eyes of the weatherman!!

 

The Whinge!

I'm sorry, I'm going to have to whinge! Not about the weather though! Oh no!!
It does seem that in 2009 we need to be told how to behave when the temperatures get a couple of degrees above normal! How on earth did people survive heatwaves in the past when they didn't have the likes of Dr Rosemary Leonard??? Makes you wonder doesn't it! How fortunate we are that there's someone on the TV for every eventually telling you how to behave! For those of us that lived through the summer on 1976, it must have been a miracle we survived at all! When you see pictures of that summer, what do you see? People happy, wearing kiss me quick hats or knotted hankerchiefs, with ice creams, and having a good time. Yes, there are those that suffer and they need extra care, but they are a *very* small minority of the population, we don't all need to hear 'advice' about how to keep cool every time the mercury hits 25C or more! How about we switch off the nonsense and switch on our brains! If you do stupid things in hot weather you suffer the consequences, whats wrong with that! If you're heathly.... I think you'll live! Drink water! Simple! And enjoy!!
