Hot weather struggles

Ah there's no comprehending some people's logic but then we spray crops with pesticides to stop the insects eating them and then eat it ourselves

I have never liked heat, but the heatwave in June was something else.

My part of the country I had 5 nights in a row over 20C despite the news saying was less.

My flat hasn't dropped below 30c for several weeks now. We're not even half way through summer yet. 😕

In the winter it's freezing cold and draughty. There are only about 2 weeks in spring and autumn that are a comfortable temperature. 🙄

Cooler today at 21 degrees.

It may heat up later like it did yesterday.

I'm not. Just had to accept this is how it'll be for the foreseeable future. Nothing I can do about it. Losing calories/weight and can't even get out for a walk anymore, the damage has already been done.

Can't really do anything about winter either. Last year I went through a huge amount of hassle and stress having heating changed in the hope of a more comfortable winter. Wrote down exactly what I needed and the way in which the work could least impact my health. All completely ignored, or possibly purposely contravened? Ended up with one heater I can't use at all, and another one that costs a huge amount to run and doesn't keep that room at an even temp. So I'm left with even worse heating than before all the work was done. The windows and doors are all draughty as well as gaps around walls and floors. Not allowed to touch the fire door, and the others all need replacing really, twisted and bent. I tried some cheap stick-on draught excluder but it didn't work. So again a lot of hassle for no benefit. Sooner I go, the better!

I am not going through any more work being done at this flat. Too much damage was caused to my health last year, and the end result is that I'm left with a flat which doesn't allow for any recovery or improvement. Things can only get worse the longer I'm here.

The person that advocates for me oversaw the work being done while I used temporary accommodation nearby (at great cost to myself). For reasons that I still do not understand, they actively encouraged the work to be done in ways that would not benefit me. And frequently then tried to 'persuade' me that I was wrong about my own needs for both health and property.

It's a very difficult situation because I do believe that they want to help. However they also want to decide what that help looks like. And unfortunately that's based on their own needs, wants and abilities, rather than mine.

Its reached 31 degrees here.

Its extremely busy with holiday makers.

I've come home for a rest and a bite to eat before I venture out again later.

Making the most of it while it lasts.
