I've had the patio doors open all day, ate lunch outdoors - my neighbour is barbecuing as I write, and actually came indoors earlier because I was too hot. Okay, we're not that far into October, but I'll take it while I can - today's weather is more summery than most of actual summer was.

But apparently not me.

I've been feeling fairly miserable since the heatwave started, where I normally do distinctly better in hot weather. Some advice from a couple of friends, including [personal profile] kaberett suggested that the headaches that had been plaguing me every morning might mean I was drinking enough water to take me through the day, but falling short overnight, and that I might also want to think about whether I was also getting enough salt  - which given I was having one of my periodic bouts of not eating salty snacks was probably a good suggestion. I've now laid in a supply of salty snacks and made sure I'n drinking enough. There were some signs of improvement the next morning, then the weather broke. (And that was fairly disappointing - a couple of rumbles of thunder in the distance, not the spectacular we were led to expect).

 

Sunday and Monday were wet and windy throughout, Tuesday was unpleasantly sticky, today is apparently headed for 26c - not extreme, but warm. My sister's flying off to the sun today, whereas I'm thinking "maybe it'll be cooler when I head North at the end of the month".

Disgruntledly yours...
