Good Morning!

@saturnzoon ooh Adelaide, yes, it's like you get stuck with our rotten weather after Perth has finished with it! Beautiful city though, another place I could retire.

Hopefully your air con will help get rid of the headache. Have you tried putting your feet in really cold water? I've heard that can help alleviate headaches.

Okay doki @TAB I will look into it more when I have my workers maybe they will understand them better and maybe get a couple of aircon places to see what they say.

Going to put the alfoil on the windows in the bedrooms and front room in the mean time as suggested by some

@tonys @Former-Member @Meowmy @StuF @Bill16

❤️ it on here always gets lots of suggestions from you guys and others I've missed, so many different things that have worked for different people

I lam always learning so much and something new

Just need it to stay in my brain. 😆 lol instead of leaking like a sponge 🤣

Hi @saturnzoon . Making a little progress I see. Plans afoot. Gooood..

So much going on in your life, hey mate. I bet you slap the next person that say's,

Get yourself A great Big Diary. Size of a phone book.. But don't worry, I won't.. 😋

Have a beaut eve Satz.. tonys

Hello @saturnzoon you can buy commercial foil off ebay, its sturdier than Alfoil and covers a wider square area. Bunnings may also sell it - thats another option.

You could get double sided sticky tape to hold it in place

or

adhesive squares with velcro on them.

With the velcro the sticky side would stuck on the window with the velcro facing up and the sticky side stuck on the foil also with the velcro facing up.

All you do is press both velcro sides together from the foil stuck onto the window and it should hold it in place.

I don't know what its called? Velcro tape?

So you can rip it off in winter and put it back up the following year without ripping the foil...

If you have awnings or blinds outside pull those down because once the heat hits the window it radiates through your entire house. Windows let in copious amounts of heat. So close curtains

I learned that from an environmental scientist who did an energy audit of my home and offered tips for pensioners - it was part of a community development initiative.

Another thing you can which the environmental sciebtist told me do is buy shade cloth that you see in parks. I think the shade cloth goes up to a 100% block out rating. You want a shade cloth with the highest percentage 80-100%. Its normally sold on a roll from Bunnings and you just cut it according to how much you need off the roll.

You use teeth to fasten the shade cloth to the top of the window frame and drape it like an awning and hold it in place with plastic clips on the bottom sides which you fasten with rope with tent pegs in the ground. The Bunnings website has it all. Its easy to do and its a cheap way to get awnings if your windows don't have them!

I checked out the Temu app, it was amazing. But the price range was pretty much the same.

@saturnzoon ha ha, need to keep it in your brain! I hear ya, my memory is shocking and I still refer to a diary to keep me up to speed.

Memory and motivation, the 2 things I miss since being diagnosed all those years ago.

Oh and a little bit of self esteem wouldn't go astray either 🙂

foil works , just wet glass first soapy water supposed to work better @saturnzoon

@ENKELI @Former-Member @tonys @TAB @saturnzoon @StuF

Good Evening All.

Had Minestrone soup and a busy day.

I am all for practical solutions... from foil to big diaries.

@tonys I am upset about the situation in Middle East too. So easy for things to get inflamed. I have contacts in continental Africa and politics and economies are all pretty precarious over there, so I WISH the big guyz would play NICE!

@ENKELI it’s very kind and thoughtful of you to ask.
The city is great, I have had a less than average day.

A regular sleep pattern eludes me and I lost half a day ☹️

I'm going to have a sauna now, in the hope of getting some sleep tonight.

Fingers & toes crossed.

Thanks @Former-Member will check Bunnings out for those, want to get it all done before next week when where going to have like 37 and above for about 4 days straight, it was 36 today but 41 in the house.

@tonys you always brighten my day and put a smile 😃 on my face with your words, very creative you have a special gift

@TAB @Appleblossom thank you guys

@ENKELI agree re memory and motivation love mental health illnesses

@Glisten @Appleblossom slowly starting to cool down, hope we get a lovely breeze tonight as going to be 37 again tomorrow

Hi @Appleblossom Goody.. Home safe mate. So you went on your mission incognito.

Very wise.. Bloke like me would have seen you coming a mile. Lol.. Probly in a heavily tattooed

combi van with some well chosen bumper stickers, and chitty gas millage. I know. I'm way off.

Well thanks for your encouragement. I count on yours more than you relize.

Well enjoy your tub. You'll need time to unwind, I do hope you and sleep can negotiate a peace.

Perhaps Gaza first, that'll be easier. So glad you had a nice little adventure away. C u on the street. tns..

Hey @ENKELI .. "angel" God I love that. Saw your posts earlier. Just called in to say Hi ..

first chance I've had.. Gee I hope you were able to seek refuge in the cool zone of your home.

I always feel scared asking this, but do you have an air conditioned room.

Summer and us.. Its become a test of wills Enkeli. The Fins are tough. Bet its in your , code..

Well I hope you have a cool nights sleep mate.

Hi @saturnzoon . You have absolutely no idea how good it feels when you say I made you laugh.

You have it so hard at times, says lot about you that you still can. Good on you Satz..

@Glisten .. Haven't heard from you n I'm a bit worried. Place feels empty when your not in it.

I hope my well intentioned words of motivation didn't leave bruises. I care about you mate. I want you to be happy, and see, in you all the good, that I see. I go to effort if I care, and my complements not to be seen as such. They are truths that I hope you see in yourself.

Now The short version. . . I will never ever stand by and see you put yourself down.. I envy you mate. Your friend tonys..
