    Aloha everyone,

    Zigs, you be careful out there. I don't know your weather forecast but ours is 25C today and rising gradually to over 30C on Friday! :hate-shocked:

    The last of the seminars went well and people are asking for me to run it a third time. I'm not sure that there will be enough people to make it financially viable so shall postpone it until next year.

    I did some more weeding yesterday afternoon but gave up when it got too hot. May do a little more this morning before having to open up the club this afternoon.

    Keep well and enjoy the good weather :biggrin:

    Aloha!

    Good Morning All,

    It is lovely to have good weather, but alas I can no longer take the heat. I cannot avoid it when having to walk Amber three times a day. I shall have all the fans going indoors today. I have four so enough to place around this small flat. I had a terrible night, no sure if it was because of all the exercise I got yesterday but I was up and down all night with chronic cramp. I got up and put the pc on at 1 o'clock this morning to research leg cramps and ordered some homeopathic quinine tablets. Hope they do not take too long to come. What is quinine extracted from?

    Take it easy on that roof today Zigs, don't get burned.

    Have a good day everyone, God bless. :wub2:

    Good morning everyone,

    Woo..your verse has set me up for the day:dbgrtmb::)

    Shiney..It's hot here already:phew: go easy out there:thumbsup:

    Moyra...I'm not so sure about quinine these days,it was always used for cramps but I'm sure I heard somewhere that it's not advisable to use these days,I don't know why though:dunno: I bought some 'Hot weather cooling spray' and use that if I get it,plus a lot of stretching and jumping around:rolleyespink:...

    Steve and Zig...go steady at work it's going to be a hot one:thumbsup:

    I'll have to keep an even closer eye on the dogs in this heat,Archi has started with a 'hot spot' on his back and it spreads like 'wild fire' (pardon the pun) once it starts..a bag of frozen peas wrapped in an old tea towel placed on his back for a few minutes and a blob of sudocrem on it does the trick:blue thumb: Theo is doing great,he only goes outside in this weather to antagonise the chickens when they're sunbathing otherwise he keeps well out of it:pathd:

    Hopefully it's Mums last visit to the nurse today as her wound has healed great just wish her other problems would be so easy to cure.

    Waves to Penny,LWW,LIF,Kandy,Jazmine et al

    It's a hot one :phew: but it is beautiful:spinning:Stay :cool: everyone and take care:SUNsmile:

      @moyra quinine is extracted from the bark of the Cinchona tree. Homoeopathic quinine is OK but don't get any non-homoeopathic from the chemist. You have too many other problems for it to be safe.

      You could still have just a little tonic water before going to bed but don't drink too much. Tonic water with quinine (there is some without) only has a small amount in it and the equivalent of the small Schweppes mixers is the most you should have. There's no restriction on the gin you can have with it :heehee: (unless you're not supposed to have any alcohol).

              Morning all, hope you are well.

              Going to be another hot one today, must remember to stay well hydrated.
              No one can complain about the Summer so far, apart from a lack of overnight rain :heehee:

              Yet another busy day beckons, so just time for Coffee and then off to work.

              Have a great day day :SUNsmile:

                  Aloha everyone,

                  Woo, happy birthday and a happy anniversary to both of you. Here's a special song for both of you. You may remember it from 1959. I'll get around to putting it on "What are you listening to" together with her only No.1 hit in this country (and a few others).



                  Here's a link to it
                  http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/...ng-to-mark-iii-2014.55771/page-13#post-828711

                  My mind has the bouncability factor but I'm not sure about my body. :heehee:

                  Yesterday morning I did about two hours of digging and weeding before it got too hot :blue thumb:. My back was protesting about it - but I tend to ignore protestors. :snork: I did an area about 30ft x 4ft and removed loads of bindweed, brambles, strawberry weed and other easier weeds :phew:

                  I'll do another hour this morning before it gets too hot. Then out to lunch with an accountant whom I give some business advice to (usually things like how to get money out of clients that haven't paid, whilst still keeping them as clients :heehee:). He pays for the lunch :yahoo:.

                  Keep well and stay cool. Have a great day :biggrin:

                  Aloha!

                        Morning all, hope you are well.

                        Another hot one on the way ! Pity I seem to have picked up a cold from my colleague (car sharing hasn't helped) I have a few days before my week off, so hopefully it will pass quickly.

                        Try and keep cool everyone, and have a great day.
