Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

Always a pleasure for a peep at princely, Pipsqueak Pippin Uki - this is for him from OH 
I went shopping early to try and avoid the heat but failed, miserably, and I ordered OH to stay at home as the sun won't do any good if it's trained on his neck.
A collection of lovely posts this morning and I hope Amanda manages to send a picture of her apple tree, as we all love naturey things.
I wonder if Helen's looking on the nursery closing early as a bonus - two delightful kids that might also be heat fractious, demanding and sticky snot monsters? We may find out later.
Uki, we're not gonna get any storms in our neck of the woods hon, so just grin and bear it! Love to you both and Pips, of course xxx
Absolutely stunning, Amanda
Thank you for sharing it with us sweetheart

Congratulations on your milestone. xxx
HOT HOT HOT
Yes it is - even in the darkest North West. I can see the "dark satanic mills" shimmering in the haze -SO here's a link to help you keep cool:
Feeling the heat? Here are some tips to help you stay cool
If you have any good ideas - please feel free to add them.

Thanks for that Brian, and some great tips there.
I already do the washing hands in cold water as that works for me. The one about standing a bottle, or freezer bag, full of cold water in front of the fan will be tested today.
Someone who isn't suffering from the heat is OH. He's still wearing his fingerless gloves and cardie indoors, thanks to the PN his radiotherapy gifted him. I don't know whether to feel envious or sorry for him - it's an odd one.
Hoping our handsome Ryder is keeping cool 
oh, and you too Brian xxx
Hello Gill
All good here thanks, it's hot and I am Billy no mates in the office today, Dan's gone on a cruise and John's working from home, however there's no wind which means I can work without the papers blowing all over the place.
I feel for your other half - as someone on the Prostate Group said
"Prostate Cancer - the gift that keeps giving".I think it applies to all cancers.
We are lucky as we live within a couple of hundred yards of a country park so Mrs Millibob took Ryder for his morning walk there about 5.30am when it was cool. He had his "Zoomies" chasing a couple of squirrels and tonight's short walk will be about 10 minutes about 9.50pm (half time!).
Happy days

Aw that sounds great and especially for Ryder 
️ I've got an image of him - racing round the park, tongue out and enjoying every second. Good boy Ryder!
I've just pegged out and the heat's gone beyond a joke now, lad. I'm having to force myself to get things done, so will definitely head upstairs for a snooze when they're finished. The trouble is it's like a sauna up there - I guarantee you'll never hear me moan and whine during autumn and winter!
Enjoy the game tonight hon xxx
