Re: Heatwave
Hi Margaret, you certainly do learn how to cope when you have to, and do have to be sensible. In the early years of us being out here, and without the luxury of air conditioning, the kids would play under the water hose – watering the lawn at the same time. By evening the indoors would be very hot and so we would put the TV outside to watch. Slept outside many times – the only danger in those days being from the mossies. Sadly it’s a bit different now.
As for spiders the kids had pet ones, very spoilt they were too (the spiders not the kids!) as they (the kids) would catch flies and throw them into the webs. Large one lived in the house for so long that we gave it a name (Sebastian).
Btw, have to tell you that I remember suffering sunburn every year in Lancashire (many years ago) believe it or not. Trying to get that healthy tan look (that’s a joke, Joyce!) used to rub the body with olive oil or coconut oil I think it was (idiot!) and lie out in the sun, cooking! Suffered sunburn, peeling skin – and lots of pain. Then did it all again the next year. Never learnt!
Anyway, I’m sure you will all find ways of coping with the heat. Keep well!
