Yesterday, I went downstairs and watched TV for less than two hours, came back upstairs for a sleep.
Several km in the heat is great!
Thank you. I've worried a bit as I'm aware that I'm not doing much, even walking around as the therapies wipe me out most days!! And if i go to walk in the gardens, the mozzies feast!!!
I'll keep working at getting more from my twp 25 min cycles each week and will try to walk at weekends to see if I can improve a bit
The heat is a sodding killer down here - I like the mountains, its about 10 degrees less at 2000m!!! Manageable on the worst days!!!
Do you mean 2000 or 200? We are 315m up and its a lot colder than sea level.
I definitely mean 2000m!! I live in a ski resort in the Alps. Bloody gorgeous in summer too - missing it madly whilst stuck down in Grenoble!!
I've got no idea exactly how much cooler it is up where I am, equally, the bit of the valley I usually compare it to is probably a bit higher than Grenoble!!
If anyone is seriously bored -
Currently in Saint-Martin-d'Hères, Grenoble - altitude Min. 206 m Max. 610 m
My usual bit of the valley is Aime (596 m) or Bourg St Maurice (744 m)
I live at Plagne Centre (ok, probably 1900/1950m not 2000m!! Whats a few metres between friends when you get that high
) [EDIT : Google says 1970m, so not far off!!
"A 1970 mètres d'altitude, la Plagne centre"]
My phone has been telling me that we've had temps of 38 here, but pretty sure that's in the shade. Today it says it'll get to 34 - home says 20!!
I miss the mountains!!!
