It's too hot.......& I don't like it.....
Apologies to those of you that embrace this weather with factor 15 & a Solero, it's just too much for the likes of me who, even with Factor 50 on will go as crispy as an air fryer chip! I've just never been a sun worshipper.
Just to clarify, I do sit in the sun (I'm not a vampire!) but I need a big parasol, hat, sunglasses & plenty of the aforementioned SPF & even then I can't sit out for too long- unless there's BBQ, I can always stick it out for BBQ! 😋🍔🌭🍗🥩
So I'm currently sat indoors, tapping away on my my laptop, with the fan on full blast & the curtains closed like some sun loathing hermit wondering what to waffle on about this week..! I know I've been absent for a couple of weeks, I'm ok though, no drama here, fortunately...
I suppose the most exciting thing to happen is a hospital review with my consultant. I've decided that doc/hospital appointments are like buses...nothing for ages then all of a sudden...you know the rest. I counted them up & in the space of about two weeks, I had FIVE appointments- FIVE!!
It was like being in some weird pin-ball machine being pinged from home to the docs or hospital & back again....🫤🫤
Anyway, all is fine at the mo, kidney function has dropped a teensy bit but not enough to be concerned. I've had a couple of vaccinations as my immune system is now pretty rubbish & have had some new medications to add into my daily routine- I now rattle like maracas in a samba band but it's all for my own good- I just need a bigger pill organiser! 🤣🤣🤣
What do you lot eat in this weather?! Nobody wants to be slaving over a hot stove obviously (unless you enjoy sweating like a polar bear in a sauna.....) so it's got to be quick & preferably "ready to eat"!
For me it's "Picky bits"- I flippin LOVE them, cheeses, olives, quiche, scotch eggs, potato salad...the lot- YUM! I like a bit of salad too, as long as it's chopped up small, I can't stand chomping on big chunks of lettuce like an overgrown bunny! Needless to say, my veggie chopper from Tiktok shop has been getting a lot of use in the last few weeks...
I won't lie & I know I'll probably be a bit unpopular when I say this but...I am looking forward to Autumn, I just find it easier to stay warm than to stay cool. I can't wait for slow cooker stews, hot chocolate & snuggling under blankets! Yes I am mad , I know but I'm pretty sure that some of you feel the same.....🍁🍂
In the meantime I shall continue to sit here in the dark & try not to melt....I might even treat myself to an ice lolly in a bit...mmmm...lolly...😋🍧
Stay cool my little choc ices!
Love Sarah xxxx
