The humidity just sucks the life blood out of me. The older I am becoming the less tolerant I am with the heat. Hang in there 2old. We are in for a frost this morning so that will mean a mild winter's day. Yeah.

Me to joybelle when we get the odd few humid days in summer , I say to DH …..if I wanted to live in humid part of Aust I would have moved to QLD …..so thank goodness we get very few days of humid weather …..however I think we may be in for more this coming summer due to climate change ( according to long range weather forecasters ) Parts of QLD that we like is beautiful in winter ( chilly this year ) but the summers are horrific

I would never want to live in the hot, humid areas of Australia. I know how horrific Coolangatta QLD can be in summer , I not only got drenched ….but one day I was at the huge RSL club with my friend ( she lives in SA) and I got sick of waiting for her to finish playing the pokies ( I don’t touch them ) so I decided to walk back to the unit ……..well I should have looked up the weather forecast cause I was the only one in the street, all the shops were closed not even a car to be seen …it was scary …the wind was a tail end of a cyclone 🌀 going through the area ( it was about lunch time ) The club is 5 stories high and more like a casino now days , we used to dance there twice a week but nothing now ….there is more money to be made by the club by hosting extra bingo sessions….. so they don’t have dancing anymore

I am not into bingo or the pokies either Dusty. Sounds like the end of the world story with that weather.

Sorry about the delay in getting caught up today. Every month or so, I seem to get hit with a migraine that kicks my butt! Knew when I got up this morning, one was coming on. Ate breakfast. Did a few Forum Games, Wordle, etc. Fighting a headache and some dizziness, when the wife woke hopped on the lawn mower and finished the yard work I began yesterday afternoon. Came close to collapsing. Made it to my recliner and passed out for about an hour. Woke up. Got a couple more Tylenol and went back to sleep for another 2 hours. A couple hours ago, began to realize some sense of recovery. Could walk from the living room to the kitchen in a straight line. So... ate a light lunch and then hoped in the truck and ran a couple errands. Still washed out, but feeling much better. Old age ain't for sissies.
Still, in the past 30 hours, mowed the next door neighbor's yard, his next door neighbor's yard, our own front, back, and side yards. Trimmed hedges. Trimmed our curb area with the string trimmer. Made minor repairs to my push mower. Use the leaf blower on our driveway to remove cut grass. Oh! Also played 18 holes of golf yesterday morning.
Life is good.....

Migraines are no fun and yes they knock the stuffing out of you for a time later. Pleased to hear you are on the mend 2old. What you call a string trimmer we call a whipper snipper.

Could be a little hit or miss the next couple days. Granddaughter's wedding tomorrow. Daughter from Missouri came in yesterday. Her whole family is arriving tomorrow. Wife seems to have a list of things I need to do before rehearsal tonight and wedding tomorrow. (How did I get roped into this?) Groom's family flew in yesterday from the East Coast. His groomsmen flying in today. Lots going on, I guess. I'm still up earlier than most so may be able to do some Forum Games.

After dinner, they had invited all his invitees who had come for the wedding tomorrow. Sheesh! Maryland, Pennsylvania, Texas, South Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio, Florida. He will have twice the crowd, all flying in from afar than we will have living is the area our whole lives.
