My first postcard

[Over60sRunner]

Well, it's been a slow old start, as the heat has literally wiped me out with two full-on fainting episodes on the past few days and a few wobbles besides. Still, I have just got my first postcard and was so chuffed I thought I would share here 😀👍

Oh goodness! Hope all is well now x

Now it's cooler I should be fine. I really don't do well in the heat 🔥 🥵🔥

Fainting … not good. I used to do that in hot weather when I was much younger, but somehow I don’t faint anymore. Not sure what the difference is.

But definitely consider if you drink enough water!

I love those postcards! Look at that date-place stamp! And the postage stamp! It’s so cute!

Well done!

Thank you 🙏 I drink gallons to make sure my less than perfect kidneys stay healthy as they can be.

I am a medical mystery when it comes to temperature control 🙄 If I get too hot I can't cool down and if I get too cold I can't warm back up. It's been an issue since I hit the menopause in my early 40s but no real reason has been found apart from the usual "it's your hormones". It's more of a problem with heat, because there's only so much one can take off before you expose too much 😲 but not so bad for the cold as there's always another jumper 😁

Thankfully I'm OK up to around 75° and that's not too common here in the UK, but the last week has been abberant weather and the two days I actually keeled over it was well into the 80s, even in the house! A comfy 65°here this morning so all is well again and for the foreseeable future 👍👍👍👍

Isn't the postcard fab 😁 I love all the details and can't wait for the next one. Only 23.5 k to go which is hopefully doable by early next week - I'm away this weekend at a VW event so the late into the night dancing will help 😁😁😁

Thank you 🙏 I'm so sorry you are also having problems with the heat 🔥 hopefully it will ease away now 🤞It's a balmy 65° here this morning - fingers crossed it stays cooler as I'm stuck in the office until 6pm 🙏 xxx
