The whole week we were sitting or laying in an oven ! It was hotter than ever! On Monday, I really needed to buy some things for Rosie, and since it was on the way, I called my doctor and went to see her as well. I just can't seem to shake this virus, and I’m having increasing trouble breathing whenever I do something physical. She prescribed a medication that will hopefully help! Apart from that, not much was going on except for people repeatedly having to go to the hospital because they hadn't drunk enough. Old people don't have the feeling to be thirsty anymore.
Things improved a bit starting Thursday, and we were even able to play boccia (except me); it was really fun. Afterward, Kim and Elinor brought out some tables so we could have our coffee under the giant tree. For refreshments, there was fruit ice cream, watermelon, coffee, and cake. Most people had never eaten watermelon before, but that has really changed; now, everyone dives right in whenever watermelon is served.
We all enjoyed the game very much and under this old tree it was nice and cool
The rest of the time I was spending in my room, windows and curtains closed and light on !! My ventilator turned full speed, so the room was nice and not to hot. I continued my new hobby, trying out the AI picture creations. My son and family are actually in Italy and now at the Garda lake his Dad's home..
He is like me homesick and goes there nearly each year, combining with other regions. He sent me pictures :
Dog Leia in his normal look Here I dressed her with a bathing suit and a cap
Father and son dressed normal and then as divers.
Now I look at videos and photos with other eyes, you just can dress famous people like you want, put them where you want that could be dangerous. For me as a hobby and no celebrities it's fun.
I have written or rather AI has written an administrative letter, very nice. But other things I haven't tried yet.
Next week we will get to normal temperatures again !

Dear Ingrid, I am so sorry you are having health issues and trouble breathing! This heat has not been good for anyone! Yes, thank goodness the temperatures will be better and more comfortable next week! Here in Montreal, Canada, as well! It will be a huge relief!
ReplyDeleteWatermelon and cucumber are good sources of water...water is the best thing we need! I realize that not everyone likes to drink water, but there are ways to make the water tastier. You can put a couple of slices of cucumber or fruit or a squeeze of lemon or lime. And because it makes it tastier, it helps us to want to drink more water, and this is a very good thing!
Your photos are beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.
It has definitely been hard coping with the excessive heat and obviously for you with your health issues I know it is worse. I hope the new medication is helping and that the weather is at last cooling down a bit.
