It was definitely a good idea to go out for the walk before the temperature got up that far; it was only 23°C at that point.
I’m not even going to try to get her to eat; she is too hot for that.

Gus dear are you all right?
Shall I rev up my broom?
Carinthia will you stay indoors and out of the pollen
I do not have hay fever but even I have needed the odd anti histamine so I can only guess how you are feeling
I think beer is in order for all today

For a defined value of ‘all right’ that includes a hurty side, yes, thanks.
Have fed the cat and neighbouring cat - floors! ouchy! - and returned to bed.
He is not to blame and has an alibi.
Unhugs most welcome ;- )

A bacon butty with a pitcher of gin and a long bendy straw so you can sip without moving

Nice cold compresses with healing lavender and rose water in the airtight tub for applying to the sore bits and a couple of dihydrocodeine to ease the pain
Guses need to be cherished

Pore Armers, too.
Poodle has had a short walk across the meadows - Mr Bee had decided that the going would be too rough, for me, so I have merely welcomed the pair of them back with long cool drinks of water. The grass is flowering and our pollen count is also off the scale, Carinthia. I had hoped that the farmer would be cutting for silage, tomorrow, but we are forecast a fair bit of rain, later on. Bugga.

Maybe he’s saving it for hay.

We took water for DDD and a plastic bowl for her to drink it from with us on the walk earlier today. She seemed grateful.

Here it’s 25C with 98% humidity
I am just flollopped on my hammock
And the farmers next door are silaging like fury
I am trying an insect repellent and it seems to be effective against the darling wee midges

Send 'em my way. They bite me and turn up their toes.
34°C. I have a Flomped Hound here. (And indeed a Flomped Sparrer.)

Gadws - shouldn’t be allowed! We have a puny 24°C, so I shan’t complain. I have been considering a Food Parcel for yon Gus. The curried spinach flan should travel well, with some potato salad (none of yer mayonnaise, rather a Dijon mustard/olive oil and ww vinegar job) with rocket and cherry toms. Should that not appeal, I’ll leave it to the Cellar dwellers to suggest summick else. Seriously - I hope that Gus isn’t suffering.

It is cold (and there is bouzo) in the Cellar.
I have just been to Tesco and bought sandwiches for supper, because the idea of cooking seems to me to be insanity.
The first one I went to had a broken fridge and they were bemoaning the loss of sales, pore fings; so I went to a different one and bought what was needed.

A bog in the west of Ireland is on a par with Scotland for breeding small bitey clouds of midges mosquitoes cleggs wasps and rather more welcome bumbly beezzzz
So I am road testing an insect repellant made in Scotland and I am delighted to see things that bite me die in a horrible way
Thunder storm here now so I have retreated to the conservatory with the door open

Would that be Smidge, Twellsy? In my experience, it’s not as effective as Incognito, for either mosquitoes or midges. Wotevva w#rks, of course.
