Temperature

It's hot here again. 30c today and then 35 for the next 3 days. I don't do too well in the heat so I'm suffering at the moment.

I'm trying to keep cool and not worry too much but it's feeling hot here already and it's getting to me.

  • Found the past couple of days tough but got through them. A few more to go it seems, even hotter by the looks of things. That said, I have used some of the strategies described on here, which have helped. My plan for today, due to not being at work, is to shut out the world and watch some films with my family.

    I hope you are all fairing well in the weather, or at the very least, coping like I am.

    Good to hear you're doing ok. Watching films with your family sounds a good plan.

    It's hot here already but I'm doing the same as you and watching films today. I'm hoping it will start to cool off today.

    It’s tricky when the weather is like this. I personally find the heat overwhelming. It can be very overwhelming in a sensory way. I also, as described above, make a bit of a mission of keeping it cool- which is a battle I can’t really win! I’ll do what I can, but then I’m going to have to take my mind off it. So films it is. When we had the extreme heat a few weeks ago I was at work, so I’m definitely happier at not being for the next few days of heat.

    Enjoy your films, whatever you decide to watch, and make it through day by day. That’s all we can do at this point.

    We were okay thank you- I hope you were too. It’s a shame that you ended up feeling rough from it all. Today felt a bit much at times to be honest, but we made it. It’s hard knowing that there are more to come- it’s dragging on a long time now, but we will get through it I’m sure.

    I had hoped to get in the garage tomorrow to work on a project, but I’m going to skip it for another film day.

    How did you get on today? I hope the films were good and you all got through ok. 

    My day wasn't too bad, felt a bit rough this afternoon from the heat it got really hot here but I'm recovered now. Tomorrow I'll do the same, have a film day and try to use a damp flannel to cool myself.
