Heat Exhaustion.
Cassie58 said:
If this was yesterday, I understand entirely. By mid day, I was flaked out. Came round for dinner at 8.30. I can’t stand this type of heat. It’s muggy heat. Not the same as Mediterranean heat:) Thank you for Ella, Andy. My cup of tea or maybe something stronger later in the day. Happy Wednesday.

Suggest you start getting acclimatised now, Andy.
Alternative strategy may involve a move North.
This will make room for the occupants of that band round the earth commonly known as the tropics to move in as that area becomes increasingly uninhabitable……..

Fantastic! Completely agree! There\'s something wonderful about books. And yeah most film adaptations are awful. There are exceptions but for every Godfather film there\'s Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. :-)

A whole day captured on a single page .. I bet that beer went down a treat ..
I love the heat but then I\'m probably going to hell for my sins .. 👍

Books will last as long as language survives. No two people will describe an apple the same. When authors write they have a vision in their head, and only they know what it is. Once recorded in their book, it will never be translated exactly by any reader. Maybe someday when technology is capable of reading brainwaves exactly and reproducing them accurately, books will become obsolete. Not until then. - Phil A

I too get lost in books – among the sagging shelves in my local charity shop.
A trend away from books combined with lowered concentration levels…….

Nothing like a close shave to make you appreciate living. Each day a blessing when you have been given a second chance. Great read and a positive message Andy.

I was an avid reader, not so much now, apart from reading poetry. I used to love that feeling of getting lost in a book and getting to know all the characters. I can remember feeling upset when I read the last page of some works of fiction. I wanted more. So relatable Andy. Some really miss out. Happy Tuesday. Loved your posted foot tapping music.

Good write Gold.
Some things seem \'old\' these days. People may say \'What is a book - fax - letter - cheque - or video tape cassette, as a snooty shop assistant implied in unsaid words to me. Doh!

Having gone through what you did I can see where your love of life comes from, deep within your soul. You are so fortunate in the medical treatment you received, but also in the revelation that came upon you. Thank you for sharing your experience and for the wonderful song to accompany, it\'s one of my very favorites.

A fine write Gold. Yep, it\'s still you; you\'re still here!
I was very ill as a baby though I don\'t remember any of it. I shouldn\'t be here, in a way.
They say - it\'s OK you\'re here, but a pity you began to sing! lol.

Here, \"Christmas in July\" is a charitable event for kids in hospital. It usually has a Santa visit and gifts.
What we don\'t need is the heavy marketing of Christmas to extend into July. _ Phil A.
