They were talking about highs in the 90s, and I thought to myself, our summer norm is triple digits. 😂😂😂 Role reversal - our winter storm took us to extended days in single digits. This has been a strange weather year!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873375271470225199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-91079157620599242762021-06-28T15:50:09.600-04:002021-06-28T15:50:09.600-04:00Hope your brother heals well.

I love that magazine too and sometime pick it up at Barnes and Noble. The Christmas issue is always my favorite, but they don't usually get it until right at Christmas day or later. Shipping costs from the UK these days are crazy expensive.

Glad to hear that Bob's checkup went well for the most part. <br />We are in the midst of a sweltering heat wave - it's really incredible - and temperature records are falling everywhere. There's a lot of sitting with my feet up as we (like many here) do not have air conditioning. <br /><br />My Country Living UK magazines are arriving late, too, although not as late as yours. I don't have the June one yet, but the May one arrived the first week of June. I hope some time for yourself lifted your spirits. <br /><br />hugs,<br />LorrieLorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-14939859125053793482021-06-27T15:04:55.102-04:002021-06-27T15:04:55.102-04:00I hope your brother gets better soon.

I can see it in myself; I feel mostly fine after my operation but my body knows it needs time to recover, and then the next op is in just over two weeks - back to square one!<br />How lovely to have your paper as a reminder of home; I have a subscription for The Dalesman to keep in touch with all things Yorkshire. Same as you, I receive it rather late, and more so since Brexit became effective, but usually still within the month and not months later.<br />Good news about Bob‘s health! How are you doing with your strict food regime?Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-17529349325992971722021-06-26T23:33:09.727-04:002021-06-26T23:33:09.727-04:00Thanks for sharing.

I think a lot of it is the weather here. We were in a severe drought and now we're having nothing but rain every single day. It's getting depressing. It's so humid and gross out that it's hard to breathe outside. I'm sure you're more than familiar with that feeling, with where you live! <br />I am so sorry to hear about your brother and Bob being diagnosed with A-fib, too. He's the same age as my mom - she'll be 81 at the end of July.<br />Country Living British edition is my favorite magazine, too. I haven't been to Barnes and Noble in a long time since the closest store went under. I now have to travel 1/2 hour in a direction I rarely go, just to get to a B&N. But I need to go there to get my magazine fix! <br />It's never too late to move...you could still do it. :-)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-80925882507401674832021-06-26T17:55:06.504-04:002021-06-26T17:55:06.504-04:00When I first went to a little seaport town in New ...When I first went to a little seaport town in New England it struck me how like an English village it was.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-65513110436945382142021-06-26T15:14:54.864-04:002021-06-26T15:14:54.864-04:00I can think of nothing better than putting feet up...I can think of nothing better than putting feet up and enjoying the latest edition of Country Living.

Also there is a digital online magazine facility on our UK library - I would think it's likely your library has one too (you select magazines to read free - we can get magazines from other countries to a limited extent - maybe you can?)Elderberry-Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197689596360708239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-32304647730621486772021-06-26T13:00:10.000-04:002021-06-26T13:00:10.000-04:00I am sorry to hear about your brothers knee.

Having lived for about three years in the tropics, without any air conditioning (mainly the lack of extracting moisture from the air!) indoors we missed that.<br />Personally I hate the cold seasons and would never want to move back to any such area.<br />Bronchitis and asthma have not bothered me here... so it speaks volumes.<br />Yeah, mail is RIDICULOUSLY slow the final years!!! We are receiving magazines months late and it makes no sense. Often Pieter gets reactions and we have not 'yet' read the article.<br />On May 21 I've mailed a parcel to my youngest brother and it has not arrived there. Strange as it showed up on the tracking in the ISC in San Francisco on June 23 and it was in Miami on May 31... Can't follow this but know that next time I opt for the more expensive but far more secure UPS!<br />Hoping that Bob can manage his medical condition and above all, steer clear from stress. Guess this is still the best place to live for medical help. Expensive but reliable and above all FAST.<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.com
