Oddly enough, I do Finnish shower with a sixty seconds cold, after Michael Mosley saying it is good for the immune system, but Im not standing scrubbing, washing shoulder length hair in cold,dear Me no!!! Hubby has it scalding,takes ages and would be fuming to be disturbed. I do actually have it warm. Come the afternoon,any electricity stored in the batteries not used goes to the grid. Seeing as we're making 30kw a day,and our gas has more than tripled in price,am trying not to use it.
Grey and cold again, but doesn’t matter today, as off to the hospital. Weekend looks much more promising.
I have been told I was being creepy in my reply to @D0rdogne_Damsel picture of Charlie. It was meant to be light hearted, but sorry if I have offended.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Punkdoc, agree with PatE, but I love younger guys (like the radiographers at the hospital) calling me darling. Hubby got called "my love" in our local Tesco recently. Apparently if you brush against some ones arm in a lift....they will accuse you of sexual abuse!!
Hello Forkers, not much to report, still hot and dry here. I can't believe how much this country has warmed up (in summer) since the 90s. I am also a lot more intolerant to the heat so it might be that! Still not sleeping at night but at least I can open the window and listen to the dawn choir. Have a good day all.
Morning all. Sorry your day started so stressfully @Nanny Beach. I tend to get cross when I'm running late too and in my experience husbands tend not to think too much about things - they want the answer to a question and they are not prepared to wait.
Lovely sunny day again, but still that cool breeze. Off into town in a bit - that sounds grander than it is - I live just half a mile away from the town centre - and it is ever so slightly uphill most of the way. Good exercise!
OH has had a bad night with chest pains from his angina. He has only been on the meds a few days, so I suppose it will take a bit longer for those to have more of an effect. It's looking more and more likely to me that he will have to have a stent.
Enjoying a leisurely lunch, for once. 😉 Car parked in long stay car park at station and I have two hours to get back to the platform. Not very often I have two hours to do virtually nothing. 😁
I'm hoping to get to the hotel in Paris and be able to check in before meeting Charlie at Charles de Gaulle airport, will work if the train is not delayed. Means we won't have to worry about getting there for a certain time and can enjoy dinner, although, I suppose Paris hotels have 24 hour check in. I'd still rather find it before it gets dark.
No offence taken about 'Chipper Charlie' @punkdoc, nothing even remotely creepy crossed my mind. 🙂 Seems particularly easy to offend some people these days, I seem to be able to my foot in it all too easily. 🙄
Anyway, I'm desperately trying to relax, so going back to my book, a book club nomination, The Sisters of Hardscrabble Bay. Can't decide if I like it or not. 😅
Good afternoon all.

didyw,yes, I think you're right,men have no patience. Same if they have to queue in the car. He wouldn't have been any good in the wat, with ration! Ironically, before he stopped work,I used to go shopping before 8. Put shopping away, have breakfast, take dogs out at 9.30. I get up early now,get on with chores, mostly garden related. Everything is changed now we have the solar of course, because we need to make as much use of it as we can.we get 15p export,and am now paying 44p pkh. Sorry to hear yours is having chest pains in the night frightening,let's hope the meds work soon.
Hello from the Ferry. The drive went smoothly, took 8 hours, including coffee, loo and lunch breaks. I'd made a chicken and vegetable quiche for dinner last night and there was enough for lunch today. OH said it was better than sandwiches. Crossing will take 4 hours then Hello England!
OH is patient, more so than me. We are happy sharing the bathroom. In France the loos are separate. He always tells me when he wants a bath or shower and asks if I need it first.
I hope your OH is OK, @didyw. Is he taking the tablets you put under your tongue?

A mixed bag of weather with us all. It’s warm and dry still here, possible thunder tomorrow. My grass is starting to look parched.
