ALWAYS...carry a bottle of water.

[YOUNG GOLFER]

I guess many will know over here it is now nice and hot...however how many people carry a bottle of water with them whilst going for a walk or even going for a drive in the car.

Talking with a good friend of mine who is a Doctor here i was surprised by how many calls he gets from Patients only to find they are dehydrated.

SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL DRINK LOT'S OF WATER. MORE SO IF PLAYING SPORTS....OR DRINKING ALCOHOL;)

[Happy Days]

Amazed how many people don't. Took the dogs to the lighthouse at Palm Mar one Sunday Morning. Two bottles of water, one for me and one for the dogs.

When I got to the lighthouse, and it was red hot, there was a family there with two young kids. The mother (looking a bit desparate) asked me where there was a shop becuse they were all very, very thirsty! To be honest they looked ill.

I gave them one of mine, but to be honest I wasn't too impressed. My dogs can't go without water - so i had too :(

I have always taken Water with Me when going Out for a while taking Photographs. I carry it in a bum Bag with a Handkerchief and a couple of sweets.
my O.H. used to take the Mick but I persevered doing it.
Over the Years She has always drunk more than Me from this source.
This is something else We do automaticlly now.

Anyone with Kids, this is a MUST. for Them. Thanks to Y.G. for reminding us.

Its far safer to carry and drink a bottle of Whisky opposed to a bottle of water....Why?

Drop a worm in a bottle of water and the worm will swim happily about.

Drop a worm in a bottle of Whisky and the worm dies.

The moral of the story is...Drink Whisky and you will never suffer from worms!:D
