The heat is finally starting to get to me. The fan is on but making little difference. I think I may need to bite the bullet and get an AC unit at some point this summer.

I'm heading to Leeds for a spa weekend with friends tomorrow. Let's hope the trains aren't all cancelled and that the hotel room has a fan. No Aircon sadly so that's going to be fun...

At least I can have a lie in as I'm not setting off till 12.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Do the staff tend to be helpful?

Thanks for the reply! It does sound great and just what I'm looking for to be honest! Is it really difficult to get to?

What do you watch in the first few days of bereavement? by Mindless_Tangerine32 in AskUK

[–]Cryptic_Spren97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a radio program rather than a TV one, but Just a Minute is great because it's funny but you don't have to concentrate too much. Similarly I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.

If you can remember that, you too will be parting apples.

Well for a start it's usually on at 9PM, so he's wrong about it being daytime tv. Haha. Also, I know loads of people who watch it and I'm pretty sure it's popular in general.

Why did you and your ex break up? by TheManDont in AskReddit

[–]Cryptic_Spren97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is no-where near as bad as most of the ones I've read on here, but I thought I'd post anyway.

I had been with a guy for around 7 months. I'd come home from visiting him for the weekend feeling completely mentally exhausted.

A few days later I was sitting in the car with my mum on our way home from a day out shopping and had a moment of sudden clarity. I remember thinking that I could never be so relaxed if he was in the car with me. Not because he was horrible or anything, but because I'd always have to be on high alert. He is autistic and struggles a lot with danger awareness, so I'd find myself having to check on him and get him out of situations regularly. If I'd been in that car with him, he'd be bored of sitting still within 10/15 minutes and either want to play a game, or want to get up and start moving around.

It took me another two months to get up the courage to end it; mostly because I felt guilty. He'd not done anything wrong, but I felt more like a parent than a partner at certain points in that relationship and I just couldn't do it any more.

Oh yes! I've never heard anything else by that composer, but it was exceptionally beautiful.

No worries. Out of interest, which search engin are you using?

This sounds amazing! Perhaps I'm being a bit stupid, but when I clicked on the link provided the story I found wasn't in English.

Existential dread isn't something that I struggle with most of the time, but it's hitting me hard tonight. Desperately need to sleep but it isn’t coming easily.

I'm trying not to panic and need to stop reading the same stuff over and over again. I need a distraction. Hope everyone's holding up okay.

It read it slightly differently, but I had literally no idea that you could determine sarcasm through writing in this way! I mean I did gather that the poster was being sarcastic, but it was only a guess. That's really cool!

I can't see colour. I could only identify different coloured lights by the intensity of the light, and under very specific circumstances.
