Oh my wordβ¦ itβs hotβ¦..I feel I need to explain something to anyone reading thatβs not based on the UKβ¦. We never get this length of prolonged heatβ¦. And most certainly not in Scotland. None of us have air conditioning (apart from The Windsor Waffle π), our houses are heavily insulated to keep heat in and our bodies are used to much lower temperatures.. We sit outside in the sun if itβs 14C!!!
We love it on holiday, in fact we expect it on holiday and are devastated if we donβt get it but it feels very different at home.
Craig and I were laughing at each other yesterday as it was far too hot to be sitting in the sun (26C here although it feels hotter). Yet we slogged it out. We could hardly breathe, it was like sitting in a sauna! Now we know the dangers to prolonged sun exposure but as I said yesterday, we just never know when we might see it again.
Yet we get up again today and here it is againβ¦. Wow. Another day of glowing with perspiration π₯΅π
Claire and I headed down to the coast for sunset last night and had such a lovely time.
We heard a woman shout βoh there it isβ¦.β And weβre scanning the horizon for the βitββ¦.. she just slowly crept down the side of Arran and it actually seemed like her engines were off at one point.
Now last night was great in a good few waysβ¦. First of all Claire agreed to come down for sunset in the first placeβ¦. Secondly I managed to fit Abbie the camper under the height restriction in Portencross car park!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is huge. Iβve not been down since I had the van raised as I was scared Iβd be too high. Claire jumped out to check (immediately after admitting she has no spacial awarenessβ¦. π¬) and I sailed on underβ¦β¦ and thirdly Claire turned the brightness up on a phone and gave my phone a whole new look!!! Iβve been on the dimmest of settings and all of a sudden my pics took on a whole new light. Wow. Every day is a school day!
The next photo is is at 11pmβ¦β¦ arriving back home. Unheard of these daysβ¦ we went to McDonalds for a milkshake on the way home. The moon rise was just as attractive as the sunset last night. It was very large and pinky/orange. We had the giggles in this pic as I thought a streetlight was the moon as we tried to take the selfieβ¦.. π€¦π»ββοΈπ€·π»ββοΈππ€£
Quick dog walks today before it got too hot.
So I had the osteopath today and he said that my knee has a swollen goose footβ¦.. (only meβ¦..) and thatβs the reason for my pain. It obviously has a much more sophisticated name but I can only remember the crazy one. He says I should put some ice on it after exercise I have all the tools to correct it but could do with some new trainers to help support my foot a bit more. Ok thenβ¦. I have to βkeep doing the exercisesβ that I have not done enough ofβ¦. And stretch. I really must stretch.
Just before my appointment I bumped into Anne from my tapping groupβ¦. Itβs maybe been about 3 years since Iβve seen her. It made my day to get a huge hugβ¦ even if we did only have 5 minutes if that!
I did a quick food shop after the Osteopath⦠came home and hung up the second last washing of the day and then tackled some of the meadow garden weeds.
Needless to say there is no after photo as it looks a mess and I have nettle stings under my right armpit and on my right wrist. I also got bit on the leg by and evil horsefly that drew actual blood. Booooooo to gardening!
Sitting back down and enjoying the sun. Hope you all have a a great weekend.
Stay safe everyone πππ
Love the sunset pics. Happy weekend πXx
