How do you manage HH with no warm weather, I couldnt stand to have no warmth from the day or sunshine to cheer me, its hard enough living in Manchester , the so called rainy city. Am hoping you take a good vit d supplement and thank goodness for electric blankets x
Having moved from a place with hot sunny weather for much of the year, eating outside and growing veg and herbs, it’s still a shock to the system and I haven’t got used to the wet and windy weather here, where nothing in the way of veg etc grows. I do now take a good Vitamin D as of a few weeks ago, it’s one that 2Greys recommended, with I think K2 as well. Or was that the dog from Doctor Who?!
That must have been a culture shock to your system. How long have you been there? Hopefully things will settle for you. Funny when I lived in Hong Kong I longed for the cold weather, until we moved to Germany in the January and perhaps one of the colder winters, I was only there a few weeks when I started yearning for the hot weather ha! Keep up with the vits x
Morning Don & Midge. When I lived in a little Spanish Village, and everyone sat in the village Square, The Elderly Gentlemen would be in their Smart Attire regardless of the Heat, it is "Old World & Traditions" I would not like to see that Change. All Children would be left with them while young parents went about their way's and come back to pick them up in the knowledge that they were well Looked after, The gentlemen were never asked to "Child Sit " it was The "Norm" & acceptable, Some Traditions never Stop. Respect for all Our Well Turned out Older Gents. xxxx C.
Yes, you’re sounding like my Dad, Don. He was very partial to his tie and jacket! Only ever saw him without when operating a sit-on lawn mower he had.
As he got much older, he spent a short respite time in a care home, to give my Mum a break. I called to collect him at last, and he was wearing a polo shirt and tank top, neither of them his own!! How could they be!! Staff had decided it was summer and used the clothes kitty box.
He’d lost all his personality! He didn’t know what to do with his bare white arms! My dad had disappeared!!
I reached into his case and helped him change back into his shirt, tie and eventually his jacket. He looked five years younger, very much happier, and most relieved to be going home!! And never went there again!!
Stick with your familiars, Don. Or we’ll never recognise you! Although occasionally there was big news at home....’Its so hot, your Dad has taken his vest off!!’ Wow, we knew we’d got a heatwave then....!!
I seem to remember my dad wearing a tank top jumper all the time and i believe there is even a picture of him with it on sitting on a camel somewhere in Egypt and not even sweating,so now i know where i got my heat resilience from lol,also he loved to wear a bow tie normally bright red being a mad professor type person.Happy Days x
Ha! These old Dad’s! I’m impressed yours got up on a camel- that wouldn’t have happened with mine...not an Egyptian holiday!! The war took him to the Med, but my Mum wasn’t keen on another excursion.
No wonder yours was game for a tank top and bow tie too.... Well done, Skis senior!! xx
Dad was not an intrepid traveller and prefered tinkering with his scientific stuff in his garden shed,sometimes if good we were ushered in to act as guinea pigs in his experiments and we must have been the only kids in the street to have been gassed by homemade chloroform lol xx
I think they had a cruise on the Nile in their short retirement before sadly they both passed away in their very early seventies and Mum would definitely have arranged it as Dad's idea of a holiday was a timeshare they had in Powys in wales. xx
Sounds like my fella! What a shame their lives ended though just as they were really getting going. I bet you miss them both, that was really too early to go :-! xx
Always a different line Don to keep us amused but so relevant. My Dad thought dressing casual was replacing his jacket with a tank top and that was wool ha! x
Morning Mr.D and my lovely dad always wore his white vest and a shirt with tie(weekdays), so it seems like the expected dress code for all "toffs",lol😂
Thank you for this morning's chuckle,hope it's not going to be ridiculously hot this weekend - I will just melt!💞
