So before the hot weather changes Suppose to be next week I believe .I was wondering what everyone would love to do whilst the suns out Let's find ways to cheer us up a little instead of all our aches and pains taking over Even if it's just in our imagination it can be a reality

I have just read that the Met Office are forecasting that this hot spell could last through until October. But if the ‘weather’ people cant accurately predict tomorrows weather i treat the news with some scepticism.
Well I hope it doesn't last till then Enough is enough I think now
I just want it to go away as I have really suffered this year. The weather for our area shows the temperature drastically dropping after Tuesday. Flippin typical that is as on Tuesday morning I've got to have another 24 hour tape and I can't help but feel that the cooler weather would be better for that! My heart rate is always well up in the heat.

Ohh dear Is this just a check up for you
in reply to Vonnieruth
It is being repeated because on the last one my heart rate suddenly went up to 180bpm in the evening and I was only sat on the bed doing nothing. Then in the early hours of the morning it dipped right down the other way and apparently my heart paused 5 times for a couple of seconds fairly close together. The hospital doctors letter that was sent to my GPs has apparently suggested in his own words that "there seems to be some sort of tachy-brady syndrome going on" quite frankly I don't think they have a clue.

Well good luck and I hope all will be ok
I want to go on a picnic with my grandchildren, we haven't been on one yet this year 
.
I always do the food including home made bread ,cakes and jellies made with fresh fruit/ juice.
We usually go to the ground of a local Castle and have a lovely day .
What would you like to do Vonnie 
I would love to have all my daughter's and grandchildren with me and take them all for a lovely meal in a nice country place where all you hear is the birds sing and the river flows
I also would like to nominate myself for the day or two or even three Picnic sounds delicious
Doodle68,
That sounds incredibly delicious and fun! Homemade breads! Cakes! Jellies from fresh fruit! Come’on!!! Can I be a grandchild—just for that day!😆
If would be nice in a cool swimming pool chilling and reading a book and music in the background and not a care in the world 😄
Sounds lovely and relaxing Edm I love reading myself
Too late for me!!! Weather has returned to 'normal' here on the west coast of Scotland. Warm and cloudy, still nice. Been wonderful!!! Able to plan ahead for a while now without thinking about the rain!!!! Maybe a bit too hot further South. We've been to Aviemore for a couple of weeks & Portavadie for 10 days or so. Fabulous as the sun shone & no midges!!! Hopefully off to France in September but my husband is terrified in case my AF goes ape!!! How about you Vonnieruth? A spot of skinny dipping maybe?
Lol don't know about the dipping I'm feeling skinny though Lost two stone since I got sick and the anxiety kicked in
Sorry to hear that Vonnieruth. Anxiety can be a bear! Hugs to you!
I could afford it Was always a stick till I stopped smoking then piled it on
I am looking forward to riding my horse again. Now that the years are catching up with me, my riding may only be for an hour of walking around our place, but it is so relaxing. Im lucky to have a sweet gentle horse who has more whoa than go, he loves attention and Im pretty sure he doesnt mind not breaking a sweat!!! His name is Brumby. He may be part puppy dog, as his personality is similar, lol.

Oh I would love that I use to ride a lot from being a young girl Once ride a double reighed half arab
in reply to Vonnieruth
Wow! I was never a great rider, always chose horses you would put a child on, but have been a horse lover since birth, lol. Had to marry a man with a horse to get my first horse😉 Now we have been together 40 yr, many horses later.
I'd like to have my husband, three children, 4 grandchildren, 93 year-old mother and maybe a couple of my siblings, sitting in the garden under the trees while someone else cooks a barbecue and makes the salads! Oh, and strawberries and cream ... Oh and champagne ... I wish 😂
Lol oh keep wishing Hilly they can come true .Sounds a fun packed time with you chilling Which you would deserve xx
Lol I'll keep wishing then. I forget to mention that in that little scenario I'd be healthy but too thin and trying to eat my way up to normal weight ... will need a fairy godmother 😂 xx
Behave bet your family think your their fairy godmother
Aww thanks Vonnie. You can come to my fictitious party too if you like, but best get here early before my siblings drink us dry - joke (sort of) 😂
Ohh pour me four I got some catching up to do 😐😲🥨🥃
😂 x
Hilly....ditto but include a clean-up crew!🤣
I always forget something lol. That's essential x
Do we get doggie bags to
😂 You do!
Loving this post Vonnie. It's made me laugh and given my imagination a good shake-up. I just need to win the lottery to make my sunny dreams come true - so many expensive flights involved and so much dieting to get down to too thin 😂
Hope I haven't been a bad influence with the champagne I've enticed you with lol xx
Oh keep going Been a while since I had a drink lol

Just had the perfect morning. Riding up to Sparkford for the monthly Haines Museum Classic Car Breakfast meet in my mate's 57 Fairlane and rubber necking hundreds of new and old classics.
Oh so glad you had a perfect day Bob Sunshine all the way I hope
Bob if I do have paf can I drink alcohol now as I never had episodes with it before 🤔
Vonnieruth,
Thank you for always thinking of others and being so supportive. (My brain scan was clear by the way, other than some mild atrophy), and I deleted the post as not to frighten anyone.
I do love seeing the sunny skies and feeling warm versus cold on my skin. I do not care much for winter so I have been thinking of how to be a snowbird on limited budget. I have spent some days researching. I am thinking of going to Bluffton, SC in October to rent an apartment for $900 a month-has pool and good weather mostly year round. I would give up my apt here which is a whopping $1700 per month (near Georgetown and American University). I have a camp site in Virginia I could stay at when I want to come back here during the summer as I do not enjoy too much heat either. But .... those things in my mind only since the summer here will be closing down soon. I dont swim here because of the parking and logistics of getting to the pool. Swimming daily would help me so much! The pool in SC is very accessible and year round.
So-to more specifically answer your question-I’m spending time trying to figure out how to extend these sunny skies. Climate change has me a little worried about moving too. More flooding and storms everywhere—I want to make sure I am in an area that has resources to handle disasters since they appear to be more common now .
I would love to be outside , messing about paddle boarding .
in reply to GrannySmithgs5
Paddle boarding looks like so much fun
Never done that
I'd like to be out canoeing along a river with friends and then pull in somewhere and have a picnic. Used to do it a lot a few years ago .
Sounds fun and relaxing Jeannie Bet it was fun
The weather has definitely cooled in Norn Ireland but we still managed a picnic this afternoon on the beach on Belfast Lough. There were some people swimming in the sea but looked a bit too cool for my liking x
I am looking forward to staying up for the Perseid Meteor shower this coming Sat and Sun nights. With not much of a moon it is expected to be good. They are saying more than 1 a minute. Hope the weather cooperates.
Where abouts are you
To go to my favourite beach in North Wales so many happy memories of family holidays,there is nothing there but a small cafe,and an ancient church right on the beach...wild and beautiful.... X
Ooh that's brought back some happy memories. My family used to stay in an isolated cottage near Nefyn on the Lleyn peninsula. Loved the beaches and mountains x
Beautiful area isnt it Hilly ?,'our' beach is at LLandynwyg,near Harlech,love the whole area. We are going to stay at Portmeirion in September for a few days ,special celebration,there's posh now eh?
I think I remember visiting your lovely beach with my parents decades ago. Took a trip down memory lane a couple of years ago, stayed in a NT cottage on Porthdinllaen beach, beautiful.
Ooh how lovely, not just any old posh, Italian posh! Enjoy
Didn't that appear in TV series
I'm meant portmeirion on TV series
It did Vonnie..The Prisoner was filmed there.....late 1960s 1970s cult series...all about control of the mind...soooo excited about going there! Looks fabulous!!!
Hope its not too posh!!
Ohh watch out for those big see through balls rolling down the village lol
Hey yes!! I am not a number!!! 😀😀
Lol too true
Hope i dont show myself up!!lol! X
I wish I lived nearer the coast. My ideal day would be a day or 2 in Wales, the North Coast where I spent all my childhood holidays from 9 months old up to the age of 19. Would be even better if it was calm and sunny, not too hot and not too many people! Maybe a bit of beach cricket, the odd bit of ice cream and some photography!
Capture all the memories That would-be extra special Hope work is going ok for you
this was a good post Vonnie,cheered us all up XX
