Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 4,835 Send Message	However, this time we have gusting winds that are cool, but somehow do nothing to help indoors. OH.. Barbequed.. T-bone steaks and I made lots of salads.. Both boys went to a wedding in our area so will have them both home this evening and they have leftovers to nibble on. My eldest son went dressed as if he was going to a Bahama's party, white and beige sandals with open backs, the expensive kind not the beach kind. Beige top and white long shorts ...I said that all he needed was to have a straw hat to look like a holidaymaker, he was not impressed... His partner look great as he always does... Youngest son decided not to take anyone ..mmmm....he is too good looking for his own good and I have warned him not to bring any other would be wife home. I have warned all of them...no drinking and driving...take a taxi which I will pay for if need be... As parents, do we ever get a good nights sleep..?! I already have problems without having to worry about them, even if they are now adults..but when they sleep at home..I worry. Lindy ;)))))))))))))))))

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 4,835 Send Message	Maz, If only we had summer rains, it would really make a difference and the evenings would be cooler... As a mother I am an old dragon and have done the best I can with my boys. To try to steer them on the right course, to be sensible young men, and not follow in their parents footsteps....lol.. They know that they can depend on me and I love them to bits...but if they do the wrong thing...Well...I don't even want to go there... Lindy ;)))))))))

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 4,835 Send Message	Keith.. No! No!........ too hot for me... So far we have been lucky as the humidity is very low for this time of the year. When it hits over 30 degrees and over 100% humidity, I am nobody's friend.. Then to top it off when that hot wind blows over from the North African Desert. I am ready to commit murder... I will now crawl back into my corner. Lindy ;))

Member Since: April 2006 Posts: 5,644 Send Message	Cold shower Maz, Hilton across the road charge about £20 to use the pool! However the Indian ocean is only about 150 yards from me, but would not go in it, not a public beach and lots of Muslims here of course.

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 4,835 Send Message	In that case Keith I shall die and go to hell! Off to the pool as this is that time of the afternoon...Our backyard is very much lower then the house, with high walls so we do not feel the gusts down there... However, once the sun goes down round about 21:30 nobody can be out there as the mosquito's take over... Have a pleasant evening everyone...wherever you are... Lindy ;)))
