Not liking this heat

[Arry 24,575]

I remember 1976 the hottest year for 350years didn't bother me then. Was a slim racing snake doing ground works. Worst thing was the dust 4 inches covered the whole site we went home looking like the black and white minstrels.

Now it gets to me and it's so humid. Blood hard getting a good nights sleep. Still if it was raining I suppose I would be moaning about that Lol.

Cheers Arry

Same here ,just saying to Mrs how I remember summer of 76 ,lived in a massionet  chigwell ,everyone out on communal balcony, first time I had a prawn cracker ,so hot

I have good memories of 76. I was walnut brown working outside all day and freelancing  harvesting at night. Then I would go home and take my turn at wiping my kids' arses and changing nappies at night. Happy days. I had boundless energy, but now, once it gets beyond 24 or so, I'm knackered. Not that it happens very often in Scotland.

If the weather forecasters are right and we see increasingly warmer summers there's bound to be an exodus from the North to the South. I'll be long gone. So I'll get my "piss off home you soft southern b*****ds" whilst I can.

I used to make up 2 litre bottles of orange squash the night before work and freeze it. Drink it as it melted even top it up.

I struggled on Sunday sat on the river bank...was that hot I reeled in the rods around 3 pm,stripped down to my shorts,had a swim for half HR,went to the van and cooked lunch,then put the rods back out at 8 o'clock when it cooled down a bit...got a  tree job tomorrow ,try and get as much done as possible before 2/3 pm both days..

I've been off for 5 weeks, working in my house,I don't plan on going back to sites to work,most of my  tickets run out September time...I won't be renewing any of them
