Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Washing dries faster (forever practical me). Not that we're having any hot weather at the moment with it being winter and all that. With my wife being laid up in pot after her operation, I have been doing everything in the house, cooking cleaning and the washing, for the first time and with this rare great summer we are having, I have put the washing out and it's dried very quickly, I can imagine it's difficult in winter, but winter doesn't last long in Australia.

HappyHeart Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Dries in about ten minutes in summer. Takes longer to peg it out and you get all hot and sweaty. Best time is first thing or overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't all live in Utopia (upon Avon) :daydreaming: Youll be moving soon due to all the over-crowding. After all, you've promoted it that much, there will soon be in influx of migrants.

Cheers for that, she is slowly on the mend, it's too early to say just how successful her op has been, but fingers crossed she makes a good recovery. She managed to sit in the garden in the hot sunshine a couple of days ago and she said she felt a lot better having some sun on her face. Sunny weather definitely lifts your spirits, it's good for people's emotional well being, it's a scientific fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly is Hoff.... get her out into the sun as much as you can and give her Vit D pills too as they are so helpful.

We aren't geared up for it, no air on, no pools etc, don't worry the last time it was like this was in 1976 so the chances of have a long hot summer again here in the UK are very slim, even if they are predicting we might, they said ths summer was going to be a wash out again, like last year.

I agree it's been too hot for most people, I'm lucky I've been hoff work for nearly three weeks looking after my wife thats why ive psted so mych, lol. I agree also i don't envy those who have had to work in it, but like I say it's rare this hapens, if it happened more we would get air con and a pool.

Air con... pools? Its only been 30ish... a bit more on a few rare days. Love it.. absolutely love it. No air con for me, hate the stuff... I hate that I have to freeze in an office at work due to air con as soon as the temperature goes above 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petals Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I like normal summer temps 25 -30 does me and for the most part that is what we get in Melbourne.

HappyHeart Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 This fear of the sun is making people sick..you actually are advised to get your lower legs, arms and face exposed to direct sun every single day to ensure your body makes enough vit d. Deficiency is common with sunscreen use so rife here. Theres a set number of recommended mins, I think its only 10 mins in summer if that....more in Winter but no sunscreen allowed!

Paul1Perth Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I always think people are happier when it's sunny however I could be mistaken lol xx I wrote on another thread about my son. He's on a 3 month holiday at the moment and after being in the Greek Islands and then Croatia on boat tours for a couple of weeks he had a week in Manchester with relies and a week in London where he caught up with a mate. He went to Spain from there and skyped us from his hotel in Spain. He said he was glad to get out of the UK as most people were miserable and moaned all the time, that was when the weather was still bad. He's back in Manchester now and the weathers good. He says it's like being in a different place than when he was there a few weeks earlier. Everyones happier, more upbeat, going out more. All because of the weather (and maybe the royal baby?).:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
