Past week was good, topped up by a nice weekend. Next few days look to be rather hot. Stay safe, folks!

It's just unreal. Sat in a well ventilated room with no sunlight and a wet towel around my neck, still gasping for air.

Bit tumultuous. I live in a second world island nation not far from here with extreme summers and our leader just resigned right after he released a youtube video. On the plus side, my DIY projects are moving forward.

Pretty busy, but a nice mellow weekend doing family tech support...

How was yours?

(Oh and happy cake day)

It was fine, uneventful really! Went out to the beach yesterday with the kids and had some food at the pub which was nice!

Blimey, 3 years on Lemmy! That's gone quick!

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago

Yep... seems there's only a few days between us 😳

Dealing with the heat has not been fun, on a positive note I went to A&E and only had to wait an hour to be seen.

I went for a run at lunch and it was awful, so muggy!

I hope it was nothing too serious?!

Nothing too serious, a horse fly decided to bite me twice and my foot swelled up quite a bit

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Ow.

Those things are so stealthy and they bite like a horse...

Well, my week is only 11 hours old, so I can’t say how it will turn out. But in the past 11 hours, I’ve managed to burn a towel, inadvertently catapult my cat across our neighbor’s fence, and kick my (now ex-) boss in the shin. So let’s see.

I should have posted this yesterday, but I was busy, but it's supposed to be for the week that's just gone :)
