Upside Down Weather
July is usually quite a hot month where I live, but this July has been the strangest ever, without explanation from weather sites!? It has been exceptionally hot with temperatures reaching 42c and 46c. However, two nights ago we had cold strong winds resulting in a blanket to sleep with. This morning I woke up up shivering with cold as the French windows were open. Believe it or not 25c feels cold with a drop in temperature to 25. Most welcome during the rising heat in the days with a cool breeze with high temps. Fires have raged in Greece and Cyprus. My friend’s car battery caught fire in the heat of the day yesterday.
The weather is upside down and unpredictable. Usually August and September stifle with relentless heat night and day. We will see come August.
Snow was reported in Germany a few weeks ago.

A Russian earthquake caused tsunamis in Japan. Torrential rain caused flooding in Chicago, pets had to be rescued swimming around inside their homes. An owner caught endangered pets swimming around. Texas also had floods.
Our weather is upside down. What is the cause?
Unfortunately, it isn’t raining men, and insurance companies don’t always pay out when needed.

Due to the very hot recent weather, the sea is too hot to swim in, and much of the beautiful sea has warnings not to swim due to contamination. Many tourists end up in the hospital with burns!
Have you had problems with outlandish weather? Dealing with insurance companies?
How do you protect yourself from the sun in hot weather? In small doses, the sun heals the skin, and hospital patients need windows and light. Many hospital wards here don’t have windows; patients near windows do get better more quickly.
We all love summer days with sunshine, but not when it's too hot. Animals can also suffer from heat or cold. Take care of pets in severe weather conditions.

Are You Destiny’s Child? Or Is Your Destiny Laid Out For You And Unchangeable?
Come on Inner Peace!
Do you believe in destiny or fate? Or do you believe in Karma? Karma is balance.
Karma you can change, by action word or deed. Are the two intertwined?
Every thought word or deed is recorded in the universe. You can’t eradicate anything that you have done, but prayer, chanting, meditation, and positivity, can lessen karmic retribution.
You can change much in your life, but always have a goal and be aware that sometimes to examine or change of part of your character is necessary to obtain that goal. Challenge your life.
Then there is the question of coincidence, is there such a thing? Personally I don’t believe in coincidence.
Instant karma seems to be in newspapers these days, it would be a rare event, it can take a lot of work to change a negative aspect of your life that is problematic.
Imagine is a beautiful song by John Lennon, and today’s reality of open borders is very much in the news, the reality appears to be very different, some refugees are living in first class hotels, some cause riots, and some are not prepared to blend with their hosts or their hosts culture.
This is not an ideal world..yet we must strive for the world we need or want.
Let me read your palm.
There are many songs from the sixties about love, destiny or Karma…The Beatles, the Stones, and many more groups searched these themes. The world was a more positive place.
Hans Zimmerman - Dune, Time Of Quiet Between the Storms
Culture Club - Karma Chameleon
Destiny’s Child - Say My Name

City Life Versus Country Life Or By The Sea
The two most beautiful cities I have visited are Venice and Istanbul.
Istanbul has so many beautiful historical places which are magic, and a wonderful atmosphere. I feel homesick for Istanbul. The Bospherus straits and constant ferry trips and boats, as the views.
10 Top Tourist Attractions in Istanbul
Venice is unique too, however the canals smell in the summer, and its overcrowded, food is at a premium, and hard to find. I fell in love with Venice one frosty misty January. I was in a Pensione next to Rialto bridge, the room rocked as Venice is built on wooden structures that sway with the canal traffic and tides. The room had turquoise walls and a polished wooden floor, and the canal boats passing by the window always a fascination.
Melbourne was the best planned modern city ever, buzzy and exciting, beautiful too with an amazing library and some lanes with antique and jewellery shops.
In recent years, many beautiful cities due to an influx of immigrants and perhaps bad policies, have become dangerous when they were once safe. Although London was once an amazing place, I visited it last year, full of face lifts and flowers. I regarded it as dangerous with people sleeping on the streets, stabbings and rapes were rife.
After living in Western Australia in Albany, the most southern western tip, I never wanted to live in another town or city again, but here I am in a town on a small island again.
The beaches in Australia are out of this world, white sand, blue clear seas, and the wild life and sea life really amazing.
So what are your views on country life, city life or living by the sea?
Would be nice to post music relating to the name of the city or country music, or about places by the sea where you have lived.
Spell check mentioned the camels in Venice LOL, and mentioned read as tinned???!!!

May romance blossom into love…

Who should pay for a date?
Call me old-fashioned, but I believe the guy should invite and pay for the lady on the first few dates.
By all means split the bill, but bad manners for a guy to present the lady with a belated bill…Show him the door!
I did use dating agency forms in a class, that was popular. I never filled one in!
One very likeable Italian got a date. The date went well, even though the whole class turned up to see how the date went in the pub. The couple did continue dating, of course they didn’t inform me till after the event. LOL
If I were that lady I may well have been embarrassed. It was a small class of about ten people.
That was a crowd!
All taken in good humor…
Personally I think many society weddings are over the top…divorces often cost far more, too.
Ok I’m not rich but I would only invite a few close friends to a small wedding.
What would you do?
Have you ever been on a blind date?
