COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

It looks far too warm for playing football. It's a shame they didn't win, but hopefully everyone had a good day anyway.

Happy Sunday everyone.

Our house interior cooled down to 26C overnight :/ We have a fan that we use in the bedroom on hot nights and that helped us to sleep.

This morning feels a little fresher, but we are heading for more of the same today. It's a rest day at Wimbledon today so no tennis to watch. We are heading to our local famer's market and later to "Pub in the Park" in Tunbridge Wells... It's a very short trip on the train; no drinking and driving folks.

I can't stand this heat!
I think I may actually be a polar bear
Pub in the Park sounds good though.
I don't know if being drunk in charge of a swing or roundabout is an offence but it wouldn't be very safe after a few, so best to avoid those!!

Finally managed to talk with the lady who has the best looking cactus that I have seen in the area. She was kind enough to give me a large pad that had fallen off rooted and sprouted a couple of new pads.View attachment 244409

Wow. Thats the perfect way to get started! Good luck.

This heat is making us struggle too. We are glad of the shade available!

It's Clunker's monthly weigh in for his forum page... But he won't poop!
Been soaking for almost an hour and he has been "making bubbles" for the last ten minutes. He just sits there with a happy smirk because he knows that I'm not letting him out until he does.. I keep thinking I hear him whisper "stay together cheeks, just stay together"
I am the proud owner of a water tortoise

Hmmm, yummy tortoise food.

Hi Lena hope you are having a good time on your travels.

Thank you, Lyn! I’m having a good time but terrible internet coverage! Compared to Europe, Canada and to some extent the US appear overpriced and undercovered.
We’ve had a couple of crazy-hot days (over 36C). Several people,mostly the elderly and the homeless, died in Montreal because of extreme heat. I suddenly have trouble walking up the stairs. Husband says it could be dehydration. I already forgot how hot and humid this part of the world can be. The last time I experienced New York/DC summer was 2007. Ottawa is a little better though.
I’ll be sharing a few postcards sometime, I hope. For now, it’s just great to be able to keep more or less in touch with my roommates.

I tried this today. See if it works....

Good luck!

That’s a sharp-looking pad! Good luck propagating it. Is it prickly pear?

I’m trying to catch up on posts!!
It was a long hot humid day of soccer! We had a loss & a tie and back at it tomorrow.
Here’s my #99.

These kids are immune to the heat or what?

I am pretty excited about this one. The parent of this cactus is quite robust, grows pretty vertical, and has few of the larger spines.

Good morning / noon / evening, Bee!
Sorry to hear shingles are still acting up. Hope you’re better soon. [emoji173]️

Good morning Lena.
I hope that too .... Actually my leg is hurting....

I grow 3 big cactus pads ( ears ) in pots for my torts, hoping for a huge harvest some day

Sure is.

 

[Kristoff]

Sure is.

My torts never liked it, but many do. Good luck!

Oh dear. Drink plenty and feel better soon!

I guess it’s hot everywhere! I haven’t seen the news. We were at 106 with humidity. We where closer to the beach for soccer but still 90 with humidity.
I think I lost 5 pounds from sweating! I drank so much water at the fields and didn’t even go to the bathroom and I was gone from 10-6pm!

Stay cool everyone!! We only have one game today so I’ll be right back home with cool air on.

It sucks when you can't get decent internet.
