How I wished for rain and a rainbow last night!
It's HOT! P and I had take-aways for supper! Stacey and Kate have gone to The Cradle for a couple of days, so we're home alone! I had all the lights off, fans on and doors open. Somehow having the lights on made it feel hotter. I should not complain, no-one else is, but damn it all - I just cannot cool down. I am convinced it has to do with that "M" word again - u know - menopause!
It's drivng me mad! Hair falling out, metabolism slowing down, I wake up soaking wet at night to find P all wrapped up in the duvet because I have the ceiling fan going full tonk! Who said growing old was gracious??
It's not ALL bad though and I know it will get better. But I cannot tell a lie - I envy my blogging friends in the North. The closest thing I'm going to get to "COOLTH" is a vanilla ice-cream! LOL!
(Oh hang on a minute - P brought me a Bailey's on crushed ice - that did it for a while!)

Hey Janet, just found your blog. and i see you read all the same ones i do to. (Mckmamma, Kellys Korner etc).
Looking forward to those afternoon thunderstorms, i am moving back to Joburg this weekend, cannot wait!
Now Baileys on ice sounds a LOT nicer than my red wine I've just finished!
It's bloomin hot!
I hope you get some relief from the heat soon. Your picture of the rainbow is gorgeous. Is it over your home? What a beautiful part of the world you live in.
You have all the symptoms I have but the difference is I'm a guy in my early 30's.
Hair falling out - Jip, I am receding way to fast for my liking.
Metabolism slowing down - Jip again, this I can see around my waist
I wake up soaking wet at night to find P all wrapped up in the duvet because I have the ceiling fan going full tonk - Well not P but the Damselfly. I haven't had a good night this whole week. Just too hot.
Who said growing old was gracious?? - NOT ME!
Yes, I've been throw all those menopause symptoms, and, it truly does get better. If you're looking for ideas for menopause ideas, I've got some on my site. I bought a hand fan and carried it everywhere with me.
.. And I thought it was me and my "M" word !!!! I follow the sway of the portable fan! No ceiling fans in this house!
I have a fridge magnet which reads "Are my hot flushes causing global warming"
Let me tell you Janet!! it's been cold here but even I woke the other night soaked!! you would have thought I had been out in the summers sun.... yes the 'M' word...lol take care Judith
Stunning! I love rainbows
