It seems there is a seasonal dysfunction in this foetidly unaccustomed summer heat, exacerbated by the high humidity

Old Fart's Heat Exhaustion whereby feelings of exhaustion and ennui overtake the everyday activities (or inactivity) of so-called Senior Citizens

I am severly affected by this debilitating 'disease'

I am obliged, by this heat to take my lovely dog out at 5.30 am and I find myself cursing, staggering through nettlebeds and stumbling over tussocks, my hat rpped off by mendacious dog-roses, and the gross inconvenience of saying 'Good Morning' to other strange dog-walkers

When I get home I collapse in front of my list-of-things-to-do and decide not to do them. I wearily inspect my tomatoes and wonder why on earth I planted the bastards, cruelly chase cabbage-whites that infest my cabbages, look at my dear Lady Hamilton roses that so delightfully change their hue each day, then sit on my garden swing admiring my beautiful garden that so exhausts me

In the evening i fall asleep whilst watching the TV - that way I missed the Croatia-England match that I so looked forward to.

Then to bed -restless night, sweating as if in humid West Africa, then up at 5.15 to walk the dog

Answer: don't wear socks. Bare feet in the house, and garden if you can bear it; open sandals otherwise. Serious solution.

Put your pants, sunhat, flipflops and T-shirt in the freezer or fridge, before you venture out. Make sure you place reserves in the same place.

Preserves, did you mean? But move the cheese, meat, and fish? He wants to feel like a youngish man again, not smell like an old one.
