It's so lovely to see the sunshine... 8)

BUT, I'm really suffering with swollen hands / fingers & feet...

I'm trying to drink plenty of fresh water & keep hydrated but I don't sweat properly and am swelling up.... :roll:

Does anyone have any advise..... PLEASE....

    Not really, freesia. I have to say I'm a bit of a party pooper too when it gets so hot. Everything swells, stiffens and/or wilts. Just drink plenty. Water is best but a nice dry cider in the garden shade is also very acceptable. I also have a big fan which I lug from room to room with me. And, from time to time, I just chuck cold water at my face and leave it to dry.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
