Am I the only person who currently has zero sun? It's trying to rain which brings me to my rant - having no idea what to wear because one minute it's sunny and the next it's cold, wet and windy
Sun has gone, raining now, but alot cooler!

Its hot. Its been like this for a few years. Its called SUMMER. some days are hotter than others .
The country is very unlikely to shut down because its summer , schools won't shut , work won't stop , the economy will be fine
Get over it
Its unlikely to change this year , next year , the next 10 years
Adapt
We pay to go abroad for weather like this
Get some aircon or decent fans
I dont want anyone else to tell me its hot .
I know it is
I paid 10k last year to go Turkey to get decent weather
Stop complaining. Its just the way it is
If it were raining tomorrow people would complain
Both my kids schools are finishing early tomorrow because of the weather 🤷🏻‍♀️

What is going on with Apple/iphones? I’ve never had to delete and rewrite so many words. Then when you think you’ve written everything correctly, you press send and it’s changed another word! I meant what I said! And half the time you make it grammatically incorrect!!
Android all the way for me

I got a taxi recently and I have never in my life experienced such a stink. And I travelled many years by bus, and experienced occasional soap dodgers. I had my head all but stuck out the window but there was no getting away from it. It was a mix of old sweat plus unwashed clothes. When we reached my destination, (thankfully it was only about 25, maybe 30 minutes but felt a lot longer), I opened the door while I was paying - before I closed the window. 🤢
Smelly git 😷

Enjoyed reading in the sun for an hour yesterday - have at least 8 insect bites which flared up middle of the night...
currently slapped sudocreme on them and hoping for the best
tips (to heal, or avoid all together) welcomed
The best thing I ever found for bites was surprisingly enough burneze spray. Instant relief. Jungle formula is good repellant, or bizarrely Avon skin so soft

I seriously thought I was losing my mind at one time as I would look back at something, especially on here, and think I definitely didn't write/type that!! People must think I'm illiterate. It's really got a mind of it's own these days.
Mine is having some sort of aneurism with voicemail. I have never used voicemail, ever since I had a mobile, but it keeps switching it on. I turn it off, then It’s on again

I had a strange time with my mobile phone at one point.
When it updated I seemed to have something on my phone that played annoying unrequested music.
Life was busy and I didn't pay much attention, until it started recording what was going on around me and being said.
Then it would replay it at the most embarrassing moment possible.
I nearly ended up smashing my phone up to get it to shut up.
Somehow, I finally managed to stop it altogether after much embarrassment.
I even thought my phone was haunted at one point, and I think my friends did too.
Has made me very wary of technology ever since.

I once adored hot weather. But now I cannot tolerate the heat at all due to various medications and hormonal issues. I am far more sensitive to heat generally and then it also exacerbates some problems. It’s not like how it is abroad, here our homes are built for maximum heat retention. Neither our hospitals or schools have air con.

I live in an apartment complex that doesn’t allow the installation of residential air con units. The portable air con units aren’t suitable for the types of windows installed as they won’t accommodate the vent. I have two tower fans, a ceiling fan, a pedestal fan and a neck fan. But fans without air con only circulate the hot air. They provide some relief but it is limited.

I find it stifling when it’s low twenties. I am genuinely concerned about how I will cope later this week when temps exceed thirty.

This is a rant thread and that is my rant.

There is a lovely family of swans living on a little fishing lake near my house. I have been visiting them a few times a week, and it is always a joy to see them.

Some horrible person drove into them as they were crossing the carpark. The male and cygnets are safe, but the female was hit and killed. There are pictures of the car that did it, but police won't do anything as there is no video of the event. Only the aftermath and the car driving away.

In the photos, the male is stood next to the body of his mate. He looked lost and confused, like he didn't understand what had happened.

A local animal rescue charity is going to keep an eye on them for next few weeks. The cygnets are pretty big so the male should be able to look after them himself.

It really upset me when I found out and saw the pictures. I wish someone would catch the guy who did it, and force him to watch someone driving over his wife and kids, see how he feels when someone destroys his family.

Ordered some new blinds for my bedroom I thought they'd be ready and fitted this week so took my old ones and the curtains down and painted the window ready for them. So I'm sleeping in my small spare room which gets boiling hot I was sweating with a fan on last week so going to struggle even more this week 😭

I have an android that decides to change the word , usually just on tattle or youtube . It's a bugger trying to type the name of a band because it just decides it should be a different word .

My phone issue is that I use Microsoft SwiftKey as my keyboard and it's a piece of tit. If I don't spend ages proof reading, it'll take my input and give out something else. However, I love changing its themes too much to get rid of it 🫤
