hi everyone just wanted to say hi and to let you know I'm still ticking I'm just trying deal with the extream heat it's averaging high 03 s at night and high 40s during day . We've a had a few fires but nothing serious. I've spent every night outside because I'm struggling to find air inside
cooking a hot beef Currys my Dutch friend who takes to me to my appointments. I envy you guys with the weather. I may be quiet at moment the but I'm struggling a bit to concentrate. Be back to full steam soon. Wishing you all well. David
Likewise, cut my food intake, only knocking back mostly salads 🥗 boring but can have mackerel or cold 🥶 sausage meats, salami, parma ham, even ⚫️ black pudding. Haha.l
I just ❤️ 😍 my food, I enjoy preparing, cooking and eating all of it. Used to enjoy cooking for others, but now I'm old and crochety, I say bugger it, get your own cooking 🍳 done, really, really mean and nasty, yeah,yeah. Hahaha 😆 😂
I've got a big bag of ice hanging in front of my fan right in front of me getting some cold air but lots of nice ice cold droplets of water hitting me. I'm high enough not to be overlooked so sat in my boxers 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂
In honesty someone did knock my door and I played possum and didn't answer 😂😂 in the words of John Wayne a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do and I'm doing it 😂😂😂
The other day, I had to do a quick scuttle back to the bedroom, to find something to throw on, as was heading to the front door (postie I think) and realised i had on a pair of very thin short pyjama bottoms and nothing else. I would definitely have frightened the horses😱
Yes i bet you could do with some light relief. You need the right heat and humid is not our friend. A nice dry heat is best. Wishing sone rain to come your way soon Dave and some cooler temps at least. Although the curry would heat you up 😅 Its a shame you can't take a dip in the sea any more 🏊♂️
I know I would love to go to the beach and just have a nice swim but apparently it's like getting into your bath tub at the moment 🤣 I'm cooling down a fair bit using my ice bag and fan routine and because I have marble flooring it doesn't matter if it gets wet 😂😂👍🏼
The extremes you have to go to 😂😂 normally this time of year it's nice and hot but not extreme heat and at night a nice cooling breeze but global warming as killed all of that we start a hosepipe ban on the 24th never had one before on the island
It's never been like this before everyone is complaining about the heat at night and the Greeks usually use the Aircon but like the UK can't afford the electric
Good to hear from you Dave. I really don’t know how you’re coping in the heat over there. We had about a minute of light rain here when I was sat in the garden - it was lovely.
Yes!! Good song that,and dancing in the rain, naked or not is just amazing (better naked!). My mum was a good witch and she was known for her rain dancing, especially in 1976!! Xx
Could seriously do with some here right now . If you can send me some let me know when to expect it I'll have my shower gel and sponge outside ready 😁😁😁
I don't know how you are coping in that heat. If I was you, I would put water and ice on your marble floor, lie down and do snow angels for as long as it took to cool me down! Hope you manage some sleep my friend xx
Cripes !! I thought marble was supposed to stay cool 🤷♀️ I don’t know what to suggest Davey , I couldn’t cope with it at all. I hope it’s cooler now and you get a little sleep xx
I have not had cold water come through the taps in the past couple of weeks it's always warm even left running. I'll ask pharmacy about diorylite thank you
Hi Davey. Have you tried a hand held fan? I've found it helpful in the hot hot weather recently. However in temperatures like the ones you're enduring I'm not sure if it would help. Just a suggestion. It's cooler where I live now so I hope it cools down a bit for you to make your life a bit more comfortable.
My husband and I found putting wrapped freezer blocks on our pressure points helped the day we were caravaning just 15 miles from Coningsby the day it reached 43 C
Hope you manage ok, it’s weird weather here, although we have rain it’s still very humid, could do with a good thunderstorm ⛈ & clear the air properly, stay cool, hope it improves for you soon 😊🤞🏻⛈
HI good morning glad you got it hot where you are it starting to go cold & damp here on morning its staring to take my breathing now had heat checked yesterday saynit fine going back to drs toady ay ten i asked for second apinyan they did not like at the drs last night i had no help in 12 ths aprt from that can you send some sunshine over here for this afternoon thanks matey speak soon 👍
Oh my word I could not manage in that constant heat and humidity, I do not know how you are managing Dave. The drop in temperature here has been welcome and Im enjoying being cool for a change. I do hope the rain heads your way and gives you a little respite. Take good care x
We’re with you Daveyboy. Take it easy in the heat.

I'm hoping we get even one night of rain I'll sit outside naked all night
Mind those spiders ! 😀😀

Think they've already been there I am covered in cobwebs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Oh dear, that won’t do 😀
• in reply to
Ah well 😂😂😂😂

Hello,Maybe the water has cooled down and it’s time for a swim. By the way we’ve got a grapevine, down the garden, sadly neglected. If we can get it going, would the leaves be alright for moussaka ?
By the way your body will decide what will be, not the doctors, keep on going …….
• in reply to
Don't use grape vin for moussaka your thinking of domadis vin leaves stuffed with mince tomato and onion
• in reply to
Oh, how silly of me, 👀, of course. It looks as if I need another recipe 😀.
• in reply to
You can make domadis with cabbage leaves instead of vin leaves. Boil some whole cabbage leaves partially. Fry mince onion and chopped garlic add a tin of drained chop tomato scoop into leaves and make a parcel. Put into a saucepan just cover the top of them with water and cook for fifteen minutes but add a little vinegar before finishing off . Drain and serve
• in reply to
Thanks that’s brilliant. Hope you’ve managed to cool down a bit.
• in reply to
Not much 😂😂 it's heating up again and it's still thundering 😂😂😂
• in reply to
Don’t know where you are, but rain is forecast in a lot of locations in Greece. I just hope it comes your way.
• in reply to
I'm on Rhodes and we had a whole ten minutes of rain and even that was warm and now the sun's back out and everywhere is dry 😂😂😂😂
• in reply to
That won’t do will it !
• in reply to
That's Rhodes for you 😂😂😂
• in reply to
Looked at a few forecasts, some say rain later and a little rain tomorrow in Rhodes. We got some very fine rain here yesterday, but it’s not really proper rain. It’s very humid here. Nothing like the temperatures in Greece though, but uncomfortable. Could you try lukewarm or cold showers, iced drinks, cold flannels. There might be a breeze coming off the sea ? 👀 Could you put some ice in a flannel to keep yourself cool ? Have you got shutters, if so are you keeping them shut ? In Italy these used to be closed in the hot weather. Keep the fan going and I hope the night there will be cooler. We’re thinking of you.
• in reply to
I'm not letting it get to me 😂 soon be winter . One thing I've learnt is I never listen to weather men or Google their as accurate as Mary Poppins being a man 😂😂😂
• in reply to
Certainly the weathermen here haven’t been very accurate lately 👀
• in reply to
Their never accurate here like winter time they said that it was going to rain bit snowed from one end of the island to the other both sides except our village and no one can understand why our village had no snow what so ever
• in reply to
We do have freak weather, it has even been known to rain on one pavement and not on the other in local towns. It’s raining today, but fine weather is predicted again tomorrow. People were happy to have a hot summer, but you can have enough of a good thing. Our South African daisies and Australian bottle brush have been doing well, but our hydrangeas have wilted. The rain followed the hosepipe ban, predictably !We live in Eastbourne, and we get more sun here than Torquay, so tropical plants are on the agenda. 🌵
Keep going Daveyboy.

When I was a kid I can remember the top of the street covered in snow and the bottom of the street was bone dry . But unfortunately since the industrial revolution we've caused so much damage to the environment we would a miracle to happen to repair the damage. If we all moved to Mars give mankind a few years we would screw that planet up aswell
• in reply to
Unhappily this global warming has changed the weather in Europe. While I was in Rome, in winter, many years ago the Italians were so amazed to have a fall of snow that they went outside at midnight and played with their children in it. In the summer you were guaranteed sunshine every day from March until the Autumn, now rainy weather is not unusual. Climate change is affecting us all. Hopefully now it is apparent, something will be done about it. Yep, mankind is very good at mucking things up 👀
• in reply to
I can remember when I was a kid we used to have proper seasons certain plants and flowers came up with each season now your lucky if the flowers and plants grow 👍🏼😁
• in reply to
Like most things, we will have to adapt. I might get my wish and have bougainvillea in the garden one day, if it gets much warmer. Too hot and I reckon cacti will be popular 😀
• in reply to
Next year you will be able to grow coconuts and bananas aswell 🤣😂😂 because next year you will get the heat again
• in reply to
We’ll get the monkeys moving in next ! We’re waiting for the parakeets, they’ve got them in Regents Park, won’t be long before they move down here. Hope you are managing in the heat. Look after yourself.
• in reply to
The monkey's have started they sent the pox first then they will come 😂😂😂
• in reply to
It didn’t come from monkeys, goodness knows why they called it monkey pox. Time to look at the view with a nice cool drink and maybe a chat with some Greek friends. We’re thinking of you.
• in reply to
I know they always come up with some stupid name like chickenpox didn't come from chickens 😂 another hour or two and I'll be sat outside hopefully in cooler air and I'll have my JD at my side
