Coping with the heat?

[cwis]

Expressing sympathy for a group of people that choose not to drink water or anything else during the hottest days of the year doesn't sound very racist to me.

Would you like to explain how it is? Or just call people names?

I think it's the heat.

I think Fulham is upset by the term muslimists not the sympathy shown for them.

So slight over reaction but if he is Muslim himself he's probably a bit hungry by now so more crabby than usual.

I know, I know, but I bloody love them. Wear them in the house, outside walking, down in the beach, plodding through the water.

The house had wooden floors and it quite cold in winter. Then I use them instead of slippers.

Last year I got spotty sunburn through the holes in them.

No rain, so no midges.

A rare occurrence! Enjoy while it lasts before the swarms descend. The only thing on God's good earth I am allergic to. I hope the rain holds off when Im up next week!

Do you bother to use insect repellant ?

Living in a forest by a loch I know what it's like. And to be honest it's only a dozen days each summer when they are really bad. But, as you suggest, when they are bad, they are BAD.

However... hope it's like it is now for your visit:

Smidge works, (at last a proper deterant), but knowing where to be when is still best.

And when taking photos late at night, a midge hood is useful! (Night before last)

My head was getting hot so I got a skinhead yesterday.

A bit cooler but old ladies don't talk to me any more.

Double win!

Thanks.

I couldn't stop flies circling round my head in rural areas last week in Sweden,really annoying.

Luckily they didn't come into my tent.

I got bitten a lot.

Isn't it always raining in Scotland?

Well except when it's snowing

today I've been steaming off wallpaper. Yes, using a steamer, for hours on end. I have rather nicely timed some plasters to plaster a room on tuesday, so I have no option but to get the job done. Oh joy, looking forward to more of the same tomorrow.

btw, is this like the summer of '76?
