Sunny with a little breeze. Washing going on the line i think.. 1st on the line wash of the year for me.. ☺
Love to all. 💕💕
 
Ditto here D.,......I've got a nice little pile of summer tops (collected over the winter)
languishing in the wardrobe.I had a rifle through earlier,and had forgotten some of them.
But as you say,a chilly weekend is on the cards,so I'll keep me vests on under me jumpers 'til it's safe.
 
Really lovely day warm in the sun..my is spring finally here !! Well it is till the weekend anyhow. Make hay while the sun shines 🌞
 
Temps have finally dropped to the mid twenties18c to 26c forecast for today with a sunny day. Funny how a change of seasons always results in a drop in my health. Battling peripheral and pulmonary oedema , probable congestive heart failure,1 litre a day fluid restriction & double diuretics, down to one dose of oxy in the morning withdrawel at night making sleep impossible . No oxy = no constipation - return of bile salt malabsorption - back on questran lite=not happy.Ron.
 
Lovely day,lots of sunshine but cooler near the coast.
I had to tie my jacket 'round my waist,while on a bike ride.First time this year I've been outdoors without a coat.
Also I will have to remember to put sunblock in my bag, as I could feel the heat on the back of my neck.
 
I have lived in Arizona for 40 years, but I grew up in Southern Minnesota for the first 12 years of my life. I loved experiencing the four seasons, always something fun to do outside when I was a kid. Snowy, rainy, sunny.....always outside. I miss the birds and squirrels and flowers there. :) :)

One state up (Utah) and it is only 70°, probably our high for the day. I too like the four seasons.

Ron, isn't there a way to drain that fluid faster? I know here in the states they sometimes insert a needle into fluid filled sacs around the heart. I know it sounds awful, but then there is immediate relief at least for the time being.
 
I see my neph next week Sandy and I have no doubt he has been busy plotting my doom. I took my last Targin(oxycodone/naloxone tablet) around 35 hours ago at the end of a 34 week taper from the 80 mg I was on daily for over two years. there has to be a better way I feel like my brain has rejected my entire body. I had to come home from work and go to bed It felt like the neuropathy in my legs was connected to the power supply, I really thought I would be feeling better as the temps dropped .It has been a cloudy 27c todaydropping to 24c over the weekend. Ron.
 
Must say, Ron, I do love your humour throughout your issues. I love a good laugh too, especially when my own health is down. Stay positive and I hope issues resolve themselves soon one way or another.

Hazy sunshine today and getting colder over the weekend.
Happy Birthday QEII, I won't reach 90 i'm sure, and you'll be lucky to Ron. Somehow I bet your health drags on until you reach 89. I'll be sorry if mine does. We just need to await that cure all pill, lol.
 
You have just given me nightmares Di on even suggesting that I would get anywhere near 89. I am however thinking of writing a book on how many parts of the human body are totally appendix like and not needed to maintain life. Using myself a an example at least half of my bits no longer function or are at best very dodgy and yet I am still upright and moving after a fashion. Might give the genetics bods some input on designing a newer streamlined human. Ron.
 
Another nice day,so nothing to whinge about from me.I'm happy I woke up this morning
and I hope to be happy tomorrow morning too......Hugs to you all.
 
It is a nice day here too, weather-wise. 54 for the low, 75 for the high. I should do some gardening, but having a hard time motivating myself. Feeling down about health issues for the entire house (including a dog recently diagnosed with colitis:confused2:), and need to develop a better sense of humor about it and stronger disposition over all.
 
We all have those days Sandy, and as bad as they are ,deep down we know it will get better.Let today take care of itself,tomorrow is another and better day.
 
The sun has just come up ,the birds are singing and unity water are digging up the street again. Life happens despite everything. Sorry you are down Sandy I hope your dog is ok and not in too much pain ,Hugs Ron.
 
8c sunshine and clouds.Cooler than yesterday.The trees are getting greener each day,and the birds are singing their hearts out.....love it !!!
 
Temps went up to 30c again today, getting toward the end of April and still no cold weather . Goodness knows what next summer will be like. I hate to think. Ron.
 
aw heck Ron,that's not good.At least over here we can be sure to get colder and very cold weather,after the summer's over.Hope it cools down soon,for you.

Sometimes we joke that we have two seasons (though definitely four), winter and street maintenance, also known sarcastically as cone flower season because street and utility maintenance cones (to block/reroute traffic) pop up everywhere. :rof:
 
I know Sandy. We got a note in the letter box to tell us the water would be cut off on a certain day. Since then we have had around seven more notes saying the same . Digging up sixty year old plumbing is like a surgeon operating, you never know what you are going to find. Another warm day , we will probably get to 29c. Ron.
 
was sunny today but clouded out now. Not too cold. Looking forward to some hot weather here, Ron. Would it help to take a job with the water board? Probably the only way to keep cool in your area. Hoping you get snow for your winter, too.
 
27 c today and blowing a gale but the forecast for next weekend is 30c again, hard to believe..Ron.
 
Sunny but cold , light wind ,from the North Pole. We had a walk to the weekend craft market,and although it's under cover at the Victorian railway station,everyone was dressed warmly,as though it was a Christmas Market.
 
Hi its me back from oblivion..gawd the notifications are very arwy for me recentley.
Had a few nice warm days last week but cooler for the last couple of days.
Sorry some of you are having a rough time lately and hope things improve very quickly. Love n hugs 💕💕
 
my notifications are still sporadic too.
Have you got snow yet Mandy?
drab weather here, shouldn't complain though. Sorry you're having a tough time with that weather, Ron.
 
Hi Di not had any snow lately, tho had some in march i think ??
Ah so not just me then dont know whats happening with the notifications. Hope you are keeping well hun x
 
We've been having "disorganized" storms the past few days (though Sunday was sunny :)), a couple more days to go. We had quite the lightening and thunder show today. I love a good spring storm.
 
I could do with a good winter storm Sandy but it does not look like winter is going to happen. Ron.
 
Cold northerly, gusty, wind.Feels like 2c or less.
We've had heavy snow showers,sleet,rain and sunshine today,and looks like it's going to be the same for the rest of the week.
 
We had a rainy night but still nothing cold , minimum overnight was 19c and 26-28 during the day. Carol your son had some relief yesterday the maximum in S?W western Aust only reached 18 c tho in the north around Broome they had 34c and Darwin was still 36c.Ron.
 
WA is cold , SA is on fire watch with very hot temps and we are heading for temps getting toward 30c on the weekend. Crazy. Ron.
 
Still wintry here.Temps dropping as I post. 0c by tonight.
Glad I held back putting the bedding in.
Is Dave still at home Di ?
 
Dave is still at home with me, lol. There is a hedgehog in the garden each night, but I don't want Dave catching pneumonia yet. It would be unfair.

My house and green house is full of bedding plants awaiting warmer than -2C at night. Would be a shame to have them killed off having spent on them. Tis a nightmare. I just want a real spring and summer, but not the extremes that some on here have to suffer.
still sunny and slightly warmer before the cold night ahead.
 
Was a very hot day today. Crunched data from the morning and got only a few hours sleep in the night. A lot of work to do tomorrow as an article is in the process of being written. My head is aching, probably due to the heat. Hoping everything goes off well.

Wishing the best to all of you.
 
Rain and warm , heart ultrasound came back. Neph has discounted congestive heart failure. He sent me for an ecg to prove no atrial fib. No atrial fib found but numerous ectopics and scar tissue on the bottom of my heart from a possible heart attack. neph did not believe it .I told him my liver was too big for its allotted space. He checked my liver functions . A month ago several rose into the red and the latest test they doubled . I have an ultrasound next week. He is looking for either auto-immune hepatitis or most likely what every colon cancer survivor fears liver cancer. Ron.
 
We'll all be rooting for a good result, Ron. Fingers crossed.

cold wind today, thunder and lightening with hail briefly (whilst I was out, of course).
 
Ron i so hope that is not the case.. wishing the very best result for you my friend. 💕😚:hug:
Woke to some snow this morning..raining now.
Hope there is no snow monday as iv got to do a 100mile round trip of removals for my son, he is moving to his new house (finally getting rid 😉). He is not moving that far but we are getting some things from his ladys late fathers house ,which is near Blackpool...not drove a van in years!!! I could do without snow if you dont mind mr weather thank you..☺
 
Cold.but not as bad as the forecast threatened.YET !!!

Ron,best wishes weather whinger.Hopefully these tests will make things clear.
At the very least you will know what NOT to worry about.Given your history,I would say your a tough old cobber,so don't let the b*ggers get you down now.
 
We are finally pretty much done with our blustery weather of the last week (we had a little flooding in our basement again after a couple of large downpours.) It will be partly cloudy with a small chance of rain for the rest of the week, the highs around 70°. Perfect in my standards. :banana: David, you can keep your heat and we will continue to buy Florida (pulp free) orange juice.

Ron, you worry me. :hang: :getwell:

Does anyone know a contractor who will re-seal a foundation for free? :biggrin:
 
A good start to yet another Bank holiday weekend,but it's gonna turn wet and windy
later in the day.People who didn't get away at Easter, because of bad weather,will
be out in their droves.Everyones desperate for fine weather,and will be trying to make the best of it..............except for us,unsociable as ever.
 
Long weekend here too. People every where but it has been raining most days. Still hot and humid . warmest April on record . Still sleeping with a fan on me all night or at least trying to. I had another skin cancer cut out of my cheek last Wednesday and my cpap mask is rubbing on it . Five stitches this time. Annoying, Ron.
 
We have been given warnings about potential high winds tonight and tomorrow. Predicting sustained winds of 60 mph with gusts over 75 mph tonight and tomorrow.
 
:eek: :eek: :eek: I should have looked closer at the weather predictions yesterday other than an internet week at a glance page to see temps and rain. As Doug said, we are expecting extremely strong winds here for the next day, not unlike an unprecedented wind storm in 2011 that toppled just about every tall evergreen tree in our county (our town of Kaysville being one of the worst hit), damaged and destroyed roofs (ours specifically again being one of the worst hit, took off not only shingles but plywood, exposing roof trusses, ripping out insulation and exposing even light fixtures and ceilings inside. Parts of our roof were found several houses away.) We "joke" that our roof hit our car, causing a couple thousand dollars damage. We were without electricity for several days, and that was in December when it was quite cold. At least this time it is the end of April should we lose power (most likely). During that storm we had sustained winds of over 60 mph, wind gusts up to 140 mph. :eek: :eek: :eek: At least most of the shallow rooted tall trees in the area are gone so can't topple on houses in the area this time. :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
Thinking of you, Sandy and Doug. Sounds awful.
Ron, I hope all goes well and that you get some cool weather soon.
Was sunny earlier, but not so now. Not cold though.
 
It must be very scary Doug.I hate wind more than anything.I hope it's passed you by without incident.You've had your share.

Cold and damp,it's a staying in day......But temps are to rise by NEXT weekend.
I might even be able to cast off my vest and long socks with wild abandon.
 
The wind is still howling (made for an interesting night), but starting to die down. Our house is relatively unscathed, but there have been a lot of downed trees and other damage to other property in the area, including one house that had a large tree fall on it which crashed through roof, attic and destroyed kitchen and and living room areas of their house. One tree elsewhere fell into a power line and caught on fire. Many in the county have been without power, but we have been lucky. These "downslope" winds (off the mountains) make for some interesting cloud formations.

Hi Doug and Sandy,
I am glad that there has been minimal damage to your property and even happier that you suffered no injuries. I know what it is like to live with wild winds and understand that feeling of what will happen will happen when they hit. Hugs ron.

I agree.
 
Not cold again. Weather report states warmer weather this week, whooopeee. Bedding plants going in at last. Little Big Dave can trot off finally. He won't know his luck.

Sun is trying to come through.
 
clouded over, expecting rain.
Little Big Dave will get a go faster white stripe down his back so I can recognise him amongst the others. Perhaps I shall make it luminous paint in case he crosses the road.
 
Temps are still only 2c below the summer average. The weather bureau are now saying that it is possible that we may not get a winter this year. If that is the case next summer will be hell. I find no summer difficult to believe. Stop the planet I want to get off. Ron.

I wish I could think of something to cheer you up Ron,except you don't want to be going anywhere in a hurry.It may be hotter there.:devil::devil::devil:

And at least there is some hope where you are.:ghug:


Sunny here now,maybe I'll be whinging about the heat soon.:cool2:
 
81° at 11:26am here in Glendale, Arizona. The high is going to be 87° today. Not too bad, I guess. Some rain the other night with thunder.....I like that. And we sure need the rain here. Everyone have a good week. :)

It is about 1 AM in our campus in a small town in Western India, and the temperature is 85 F. In the USA, you use Fahrenheit, whereas we generally use C.

I would say you live in a paradise, weather wise. The highest here is climbing to 42 C and it has not rained for more than 3 months. :)
 
Doug and Sandy : I hope you guys are okay. I never knew the weather up there was crazy like that ! "Mother Nature" is so unpredictable. Keep us posted. :)
 
I just killed another flat invading rat. I don't know what they Find appealing I hate the place. Hot steamy day got to 29c..Ron.
 
Hi Catherine,
I was watching it on the news tonight. It looked fresh to frightening. I would happily settle for quiet and cool. I doubt if our minimum will get down to 22 tonight and expecting 28-29 tomorrow. Stay safe . Ron.

We came through it just fine. No damage to us or our property. Wind gusts were up to 91 mph. I spent yesterday helping neighbors clean up their broken tree limbs, etc..
 
Whew! Our "blustery" is over. It's absolutely gorgeous now. (Interesting side note to our wind reports, all that wind and the petals stayed on the tulips in our yard. They look a bit tattered, but they are there!)
I hope all of you stay as cool or hot as you want to be.
