    It's currently 35c here with a high of 38c forecast for later today,tomorrow and Wednesday. I dread this time of year and April can't come soon enough for me. Worst of all I have to go out in it later this afternoon. ;(

    Okay I know it's not like this every day so how do you cope with the heat...love it or hate it?

    Yes I suppose it's all about adapting and organising your life so you don't have to be out in it. Sometimes you just can't avoid it though. I can hack it for a day or two but if as they say we're in for an unusually hot summer then I'm done for. Talking about pools the wife has one of those round ones in the countryside in full sun and she said she was going to clean it and fill it later today. Bugger that!! I'll be watching from my seat in the shade.

I'm such an idiot......now it's working like a dream.... some nice Frank Sinatra disc in the player, aircon on, driving through the city..... couldn't care less about anything, or about if Mickey mouse becomes president or whatever.....with Western Union by 87 to the euro...... I can take the heat, the trouble, anything!!!!:D

    We're using the mother in laws old Ford Focus at the moment and have to fill the water reservoir every day. No sign of a leak so God knows what's causing it. The last mechanic who 'fixed it' obviously hadn't a clue either.

    Check to see if the cap is an original or a dodgy one .

    It sometimes pays to get the the original ...

    In very hot weather you will lose a bit on long journeys.

    I will check it. :thumbup:However as I know bugger all about car mechanics not sure I'll know the difference. We don't do long journeys in it which is probably just as well.

    It'll be too hot, even for baboons.

    I heard that it's going to be around 36-37 tomorrow and I've got a few errands to run on the bike, Nuñez being the farthest.

    Not sure about the heavy jacket though, in that heat.

    Over 35c here this afternoon and I found it hard going. Although it was actually quite pleasant in the garden when I was out with the dogs half an hour ago thanks to a gentle breeze.

    Tomorrow some say it's to be 38c others say 39c...we shall see. Not looking forward to it one little bit.

Thank you for the support!
