Washing dried in 15 mins.

I've just brought in some crispy towels 

I never had a problem sleeping until diagnosed with prostate cancer, now just two years on with my hormone injetions finished I have many a night awake, sometimes just an hour or so, other times I see the sun coming up. Doctor gave me sleeping tablets which helped somewhat but I stopped them after a month.

I read somewhere, prehaps on this website about counting backwards, it works for me unless I've had a stressful day.

If I sleep durimg the day that really doen't help.

I was given18 years ago, mistakenly ,a CD for patients recoving from a heart attack.

I had a double pulomonary embolism, when it came to my driving licence the DVLA had revoked it because I had according to them, had a heart attack, my GP printed out 40 pages of my health records and handed them over saying they will find the neccessay information, didn't take long until my licence was to be reinstated.

The CD though was a great benifit, pair of headphones on listening I could wake up 4 hours later like a new man, and unable  remembering falling asleep,

At 78 the hormone therapy has destroyed much of my physical capabilities!!!

Listening to music with earbuds, setting it to switch off after 2 hours,works sometimes, our dalmation has taken to jumping up next  to me and sleeping against my back, okay in the winter but not so in the heat of late.

horrible things uki. glad you got them all.

i am the same safeways it varies but i usually wake up at 1 30 a.m. then again at 5. 00 a.m. i get up and make a cup of tea and after 30 minutes i go back to bed.

Yeah, it really has today. A great drying day. I got as much done as I could before the rain comes tomorrow. x

Good evening every one hope you are all well and kept safe today. 

I anm currently sat in Medical same day emergency care in our local hospital as my temperature spiked this afternoon to 37.5. I was advised to come in to make sure everything was ok. Cant be too safe can you. Its gone down nicely now but have to wait for results. I feel much cooler now.

Evening Amanda  

I'm late to the party tonight as everything is just too much effort right now. Lethargy is in total command.

We're praying for storms here my lovely, but our chances are always pretty slim and the most we get are a few drops of rain.

I've been saying hot weather is the devil's own doing for the longest time, and now it seems others are agreeing. I win xxx

Met office forecasts up to 60% chance of rain / thunderstorms early hours tomorrow here in Tadcaster, Yorks..

I watered the plants just in case they're wrong again.....
