...asks me how I'm enjoying this lovely weather, I shall wring their necks, arthritic hands or not. No, it's not good for my joints. They hate it. So does the rest of me.
After washing and dressing in as few all-cotton garments as possible, I stood in the kitchen, blouse left open for the coolth, fan on, blinds down, muscles like water, joints playing up and a headache to boot. And what did my beloved say? "Isn't it lovely again?" :shock:
You'd think I'd be used to it after 48 years of marriage but when it comes to heat / cold, I'm an eskimo and he's a meerkat. He's just gone for a walk

I'm thinking I can't face my exercises :too-hot:

I'm coping better thanks to my weight loss but my joints swell in the heat. Again like SW I get people saying inane things like "I thought your joints would like the heat"! Well, I don't and my joints certainly don't.

When OH puts the aircon on in the car he has to do it in short bursts, as if it's on for any length of time my neck & shoulders seize up. We had it on last month, driving through Switzerland & for the next couple of days I could barely move. We have learned!
Yes, it's the humidity and this morning, with doors and windows open, life is quite pleasant though that could change as it's only 8.30am.
Tez – I've always, during my arthritic years, had a problem with wind and neck / shoulders. In the car I always ensure I have a gilet to put over the shoulder nearest the air con at my side.
Bea2 may be air-conditioned but it's not been that effective probably thanks to the heat: it works better in winter. As for Mr DD he is still wearing a fleece of an evening and last night had both the 4.5 tog quilt plus bedspread over him. WHY? :? DD
Next door thinks it is amusing that I get in such a lather. He best mind, or there will be words at some point if I am that way out.
If we could, we would move to the highlands of Scotland, in all seriousness. Should the chance arrive, we will.
Autumn, winter and spring, I love. It seems to get worse year on year.
We have an air conditioner in the lounge, thank the Lord. Even with that going, the other day it was struggling to keep the place cool. I love being in the car, only trouble is, you have to get out and it is like opening the oven.
Roll on Autumn. Take care XX Aidan
We're moving to the Scottish Borders, in time for next summer
