Just checked the temp of the water in my foot deep wildlife pond..35° at 1.20pm.
30° in the shade next to the house, 37° at the top of the garden in shade under the apple tree.
My phone says its only 31° outside.
Either I've got 3 different wrong thermometers, or someone is telling porkies!
The street is so quiet , nothing moving,, not even the bees or birds.
My little tame sparrows , are usually flying up to me within a few seconds of me going outside, not a sign of them.
I have water in shallow trays all about the garden for wildlife, but its evaporated within an hour, or too hot for the wildlife to drink, even if it's shaded.
This is getting silly.
Checked on an elderly friend yesterday evening about 7pm, they had a bad headache and hadn't drunk all day, skin dry, not sweating, didn't want a drink, just wanted to sleep... electrolyte mixture made up, got them to sip it slowly. ambulance called. Waited untill they arrived, (1.30hrs) diagnosis, severe dehydration. Off for an I V, rehydration at the hospital.
Thank heavens I called by!
Don't forget to check on your elderly neighbours folks. Know the signs!
Very jealous. )
