LOWS?
Was nice and sunny early this morning but now grey and quite cold.
Counting down the days till lighter evenings.

Last one Wins Diane......It's for all the sad looneys with nothing better to do.Join us,you'll be more than welcome.Not that I'm inferring that you're a looney of course.Well maybe only a little bit.:rof:

It's been wall to wall sunshine and 12c today.
 
32c tomorrow, currently 1030pm still 23c humidity 79% . Starting to forget what a good nights sleep is. Ron.
 
Not having any sunshine here today. Grey and not so cold though.

I get sleepless nights due to little big Dave being the hedgehog he is. Right noisy.
 
a chilly 10c today and overcast.
The fairground is being erected at the coast, for the Easter weekend,so it's sure to rain.
 
We just had a repeat of weather in the 70s, followed by rain this morning which turned to snow. They even had to cancel a local semi-pro baseball team's game due to being snowed out. 😨The good thing about snow this time of year is that it will be gone very quickly.
 
All wiped out by the Easter bunny Di. As far as the weather is concerned I could just post ect ect ect. Not much difference. Still high 20cs and low 30 cs ,high humidity ,storms and showers. Normal Easter weather except for the heat , humidity and storms. I don't go anywhere at Easter. It is by far the most dangerous time on our roads which usually means wall to wall traffic police as well. I am going to try to go fishing after the holiday is over, I am taking the rest of the week off. Happy Easter to all. Ron.
 
I might be very sporadic the next several days on this forum as we have major family happenings going on, but Diane, I think most everyone is having a hard time getting notifications these days.
It was back to spring weather wise here Utah. I have a faint recollection of snow this week...
 
Well, the Brits will report great weather for today, but the next few days will be indoor days.

You make sure you enjoy the time off Ron, Consider it practice for retirement, lol.

Sandy, hope all resolves well for you. Keep the chin up
 
It's a bright.bright,bright sun shiney day.......Going to put my Easter bonnet on and make the most of it before the bad stuff rolls in tomorrow.

Scrap that,I don't even wear a hat in winter.I always look as though I've escaped from somewhere when I do.
Ron,Scotts back in Aus.,says it's overcast in Kalgoorlie.He's left a few warm clothes here for the next time.
 
Big front and lots of rain about to hit mid and south WA. Might even make it into the goldfields. We are expecting rain tomorrow and Sunday and a couple of degrees cooler.. Ron.
 
Rainy day, just nuisance stuff tho . nothing substantial. Fining up tomorrow. Hopefully most of the crowds will leave tomorrow along with the rain. Ron.
 
9c.,sunshine and showers.....We're like you Ron,hate crowds, especially on holiday weekends.Cars are parked nose to tail in the street and surrounding area ,because there's stuff going on at the park over the road.It's started to rain again,and still they keep coming.The Brits are a resilient lot.It's holiday time and we WILL go out and make a nuisance of ourselves,no matter what the weather throws at us.Except me and the old man.We stay out of the way,mostly......Hope you're coping ok,health and weatherwise.
 
Skies are still gloomy today. Easter used to be a symbol of peace and hope but with Brussels and now Pakistan it is just a target. there is good and bad in the world , it is just a shame that the bad is so nasty. Peace to all Ron.
 
Cool/cold,grey and miserable.

Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather
whether it's cold or not.:cool2: :thumleft:
 
Easter is over ,26c light winds and sunny skies and lots of p'd off people back at work. At the moment I am not well enough to go fishing , sadly. Perhaps in the next reincarnation. I sure hope there is no such thing as reincarnation. Ron.
 
Well iv had no notifications for here for about a week ???. I noticed yesterday i had none at all for anywhere ? Had 2this morning oh dear whats going on ??
Weather dry at the mo ☺
 
I had no notifications for a few weeks and had to log onto the site. I had discovered you all in the spam.

Sunny and birds were singing beautifully early this morning.
 
My internet is like my health I get everything whether I want it or not , no lack of notifications here. They said it would rain today so I didn't go fishing. no rain .Now they say it will rain tomorrow. Odds are if I ignore the forecast the heavens will open. I will try Friday . Tomorrow can be blood test day. Ron.....You gotta have a plan.
 
Same here D., I did some laundry but didn't want to risk putting it out while I went to the shops.It could have dried nicely.It's on the line now,but I keep watching for the first rain drops on the windows....Bit like Ron and his fishing trip really.
So Ron, Carpe Diem........seize the day.:thumleft:

We have just had about three days of stormy weather, but because of droughts of recent years really needed needed it. The mountains look so pretty shrouded in low lying clouds though. The sun is coming out again too.
(BTW, I haven't had any email notifications in weeks or months. But I'm coming to like it that way. :) )
 
I'm in Oklahoma for work, this morning was beautiful. It had just finished sprinkling, there was a warm wind and the sky was overcast with low clouds. The birds were singing and it just felt like Spring.
 
Very cloudy today , no rain yet. well my bloods are out of the way so maybe tomorrow I fish. If you don't hear from me I may well be lost at sea. Ron.
 
Just enjoy the fishing Ron,I'll put the pan on the stove. hahaha
It's been a spring like day today.I even wore a lighter weight jacket to the shops,and also enjoyed an hours cycling this morning.
 
No fishing. Had a night from hell trying to breathe. Cpap does not seem to help which leads me to suspect that it may not be breathing related but oxygen transfer to the blood. I seem to do a lot of breathing for very little oxygen. Both of my sleep studies have commented that I don't stop breathing but I do seem to stop absorbing oxygen it drops to under 80%. Nice cloudy day, suits my mood.:mad2:
 
The maximum is 38 C and it is hot and increasing. The weather is hot, and it is matching people's attitudes and behaviors :)
 
38c is hot smt , It has been the norm for much of Australia this year but we are breaking every weather record with the hottest March ever recorded which does not impress me at all. Last year was our hottest on record. May I ask where you are located. One of our other friends here is in south Africa and they have had similar heatwaves. Ron.
 
I am located in a small town in Western India, in the campus of a premier management institute. We are not very far off from the desert. Australia would soon have winter, and so would S Africa.

I am originally form Kolkata/Calcutta, where a flyover disaster yesterday took many lives. :(

I hope your family and friends are safe,smt.
 
Likewise smt :hug:
Well no notifications for abit for here.
Yesterday was lovely n pretty warm.. today cold n raining
Oh english weather ☺
 
On a different note, congratulations. Your country is in the finals of the T20 World Cup and the match would be played in Kolkata. May the best team win.
 
Well, India has already lost to the West Indies in the semis, and that is the team that England would play.
 
Still very warm of a day. temps in the low 30's. Very unusual for April . It is just after midnight and the new thermometer I stuck on the puter is still at 28 c. They predict a low of 20c overnight but I won't see that till 5 in the morning. A very unworthwhile break. I just could not commit to getting out and around particularly fishing. It is bad enough getting the boat trailer on the car and the boat loaded but the thought of coming home and having to clean and wash everything then push the boat back up into the carport was too much to even think about. I don't even know if I can face work tomorrow.. Ron.
 
You're really struggling eh. Ron.I hope it cools down real soon for you.It must be difficult to know how sick you actually are,when that infernal heat and humidity stops you getting on with life.Feel better soon.
It's still raining here but there's no wind so it's falling gently.10c.
 
Sunny & warm here - winter has lost its hold for now. Snow is gone - grassfire season has started as its so dry. Farmers are complaining as usual that they need moisture. Dare I say - Spring is here in Canada?
 
Spring feels like it's here too. The sky was beautiful but then the chemtrails went up so now we have a more white sky. Why the hell do they do it? A few bedding plants in today.
 
I think we are finally done with the snow, and spring is here to stay as well. We might even reach into the low seventies this week.
 
7c and grey........38c where Scott's working at one of the outlying mines.
He's been checking flights for a return visit.
 
Summer just does not want to leave Australia Carol. It is going to be 29-30c all week on the coast whilst out west at Windorah it will be 39c all week. We are all over it. If this is what is in store from now on I am happy to opt out. We have had the hottest year on record last year already we have had the hottest March on record now we appear to be going for the hottest April. The northern parts of the barrier reef are getting bleached by hot water. Things are not good and the idiot pollies have just sold the whole galilee basin in Qld to India for coal fired power plants. Economy fuelled global suicide.
 
Good Lord Ron,has the whole world gone mad ??? No need to answer that,of course.
I'm glad I'm the age that I am, because goodness knows what the future will bring, and none of it will be good......we're doomed.
 
I agree, the world has gone mad. Here in the states with the upcoming presidential election, no-one looks very presidential, in fact I think they are all as corrupt as can be. Why we have retained them as candidates is beyond me, they are all crooks and liars.
The weather is wishy washy today too, it started out beautiful, then we had quite the downpour, but the rain didn't last (just the gloom)and now it is cold.
 
Sunny ,hot and humid. Rain overnight. My birthday today ,66. Got a present from my nephrologist yesterday. Kidneys are good but he was shocked at the amount of fluid in my legs up past my knees. It is ramping the neuropathy up something fierce. He checked my lungs and found fluid also found a heart murmur. He suspects pulmonary oedema and possible pulmonary hypertension. He thinks the murmur is a leaky valve.I a have to double my diuretics and am limited to a litre of fluid a day till I get rid of the oedema. He wants me to shed two kilos of fluid and see if it helps my breathing. I have to get ultrasounds done. He wants me to take a couple of weeks off work but I have tweny machines lined up for service..SIIIGGGHHH. Ron.
 
Happy birthday Ron 🎂
Oh blimey lad.. afraid id be tempted to say "sod the machines,im going look after n try n fix myself"right now..but knowing you,you wont will you???.
Sometimes tho Ron you must put yourself first..
Best wishes n hugs 💕💕
 
Happy Birthday Ron.
I'm with Mandy on this. How about paying attention to your body! It needs you to co operate with it and take it easy. Retirement might suit you. You just need to use a sewing machine at home for a hobby!
Take it easy and I hope things improve.

Dull and wet out.
 
Ditto what was said above, Ron, because we care about you. :ghug: You never have it easy, do you? I hope you have been able to have some sort of happiness with a birthday celebration, because you deserve it. You are a wonderful person and deserve the best. Please take care, and hope your birthday was as happy as could be.
It was a beautiful, but chilly, spring day here (though a little too busy).
 
:bdayparty: Happy Birthday Ron.Please,please take care of yourself.Those machines can wait a couple of weeks.

9c and blustery today.Scott tx'd from Jundee earlier,600mls from Kalgoorlie.
Temp has dropped to 15c,blowing a hoolie and pouring rain.
I told him he should have taken his UK clothes back home with him.
 
Thank you all for your kindness. My birthday was business as usual, lots of work then a trip to my ex's to feed the pets as she is away doing training in central Qld. Pretty awful day yesterday , hot humid northerly wind and some heavy showers. It is really hard only being able to have a litre of fluid a day. I finished up with a dreadful headache , probably a combination of dehydration and lack of caffeine. Ron.
 
restricting your fluids must be really difficult in those conditions,especially when you have to work,and I expect you're sweating a lot too.But I suppose your Doc. knows what he's talking about.
10c., sunshine and showers.
 
I can't even imagine restricting fluids.

It's a beautiful day here, over 70°, but I'm afraid it's going to get too warm this summer. (And personally, I like it in the sixties. )
 
high 20's c for the rest of the week. Cloudy and humid. Lokks like your son could be in for a little more rain Carol then their temps are going to ramp up to the 30 c's again so they may be in for some high humidity as well. Ron. PS Sandy I don't think much of it either , I can tell you now I won't be able to keep it up for too long . I always start my day with a cup of tea that resembles a small chamber pot. I'm not much good without it.. Ron.
 
Cool and showery,got a soaking on the bike ride.
Apparently we're in for a rather cool April,with quite frosty nights.
I think I'll leave the bedding plants for a while.
Ron my friend,is there no end to your torment ? I don't know how you get through the days,and nights.
 
slightly cooler today at 27c . Cloudy with a chance of showers or storms later.Feeling very ordinary I don't know whether it is the disease or the treatment , I'm also down to 5mg morning and night on my Targin withdrawel. It has been 28 weeks now and sometimes I think that I am getting some withdrawel symptoms when I halve the low dose. Four weeks to go. The things we go thru so that doctors can justify their charges. Ron.
 
I had always believed, I think, like most of you, that there is a relationship between mood and weather. This is scientific evidence backing this belief:

http://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/40064300.pdf

ABSTRACT - Prior studies on the association between
weather and psychological changes have produced mixed
results. In part, this inconsistency may be because weath-
er's psychological effects are moderated by two important
factors: the season and time spent outside. In two corre-
lational studies and an experiment manipulating partici-
pants' time outdoors (total N = 605), pleasant weather
(higher temperature or barometric pressure) was related
to higher mood, better memory, and "broadened" cogni-
tive style during the spring as time spent outside increased.
The same relationships between mood and weather were
not observed during other times of year, and indeed hotter
weather was associated with lower mood in the summer.
These results are consistent with findings on seasonal af-
fective disorder, and suggest that pleasant weather im-
proves mood and broadens cognition in the spring because
people have been deprived of such weather during the
winter.

This is on the association of weather and perceived severity of illness:

Hagglund, K. J., Deuser, W. E., Buckelew, S. P., Hewett, J., & Kay, D. R. (1994). Weather, beliefs about weather, and disease severity among patients with fibromyalgia. Arthritis & Rheumatism, 7(3), 130-135.

Abstract
Objective. This investigation 1) examined the relationships among actual weather, disease severity, and symptoms for individuals with fibromyalgia, 2) assessed subjects' beliefs about weather affecting their symptoms, and 3) examined differences between individuals with high and low “weather sensitivity.”

Methods. Eighty-four individuals meeting Yunus' criteria for the diagnosis of fibromyalgia participated. Subjects completed the Weather and Pain Questionnaire (WPQ), the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales (AIMS), the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R), and a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) assessing pain. A tender point index and a myalgic score were also obtained.

Results. Subjects reported that weather affected musculoskeletal symptoms predominantly. The strongest relationship was found between weather beliefs and self-reported pain scores. Subjects with high weather sensitivity tended to have more functional impairment and psychological distress.

Conclusions. Individuals with fibromyalgia believe that weather worsens their symptoms, but it is unlikely that physiologic changes are associates with actual weather.
 
Fine sunny day today ☺. Sorry for my absence .. no updates coming through again 😕 . Hope everyone is keeping as well as poss. Love n hugs 💕💕💋💋
 
Partly cloudy but expecting 30c again today. It was supposed to be cooler on the weekend but it finished up in the 30c's both days. I am struggling with the 1 litre a day fluid restriction and double diuretics in this heat. Only up side is my b/p was 118/83 this morning. I will continue on it for the rest of the week then cut out the second diuretic and keep my fluid input under 1.5 litres. I haven't drunk alcohol for the best part of twenty years. Sometimes I just feel like going to a pub and getting blind rotten drunk, but I don't think my doc would approve. Ron.
 
Oh Ron not only would your doc not approve, your head n bowels might have something to say about it too.
Darn good idea tho ☺..
:hug:💕
 
Don't blame you Ron. You have to have something to do with those pent up aggravations, and some times it is hard to find something that isn't more harmful in the long run. When you find what that something is, would you let me/us know?

It was hot and steamy today, a bit over 30c. The april average is supposed to be around 15-26c . It is still 18-30c+.The humidity knocked me around today thanks to little liquid intake and D. Always the moment my system is down D steps in . It is bad enough losing fluid thru diuretics without the dreaded D. I am really struggling to do my job and I am very close to opting out. My boss does not want me to leave but she has had over ten years to find someone else. Over it all Ron.
 
RON,when you have a "GOOD" day,few and far between I know,you should go fishing !!!
And when you're having "BAD" days the last place you should be doing is working.
Ask yourself this,when you eventually retire, will the boss give you a gold watch,a farewell party,and a extra few dollars in your pay packet ?

Nice day here,coolish, but good for cycling along the coast,which we did.
 
I agree, Ron should retire and relax off. Life's too stressful and wreaks havoc on unwell bodies.

No updates here either, Mandy. Not sunny, and cold enough to make my whole hands go completely white and utterly dysfunctional. Looking forwards to Summer, lets hope it's and Aussie one. Totally frozen here and heating up high.
