lol Suze I only did the garden in the mornings when it was a bit cooler. The heat yesterday afternoon floored me for the rest of the day. 🥵
I had all the windows open earlier and the front curtains shut against the morning sun. The sun is now moving round the back so I’ve shut the curtains at the back, shut all windows to stop hot air coming in and fans are on.
I’ve got to go out at 4pm to my friends as she’s cooking dinner, but the back of her house is shaded in the afternoon so should be cooler. 🤞
Aquafit in the morning. I’m not sure if it’s going to be too hot to go out with my niece and little lad in the afternoon. I will talk to her later. I ordered some clothes from next which I need to collect Wednesday morning, then it’s my hospital appointment in the afternoon, in the opposite direction! Am using more petrol than usual so I may need to adjust my monthly budget.
