Just to make you all jealous

I go for long walks in the countryside and beside canals to keep cool and get some shade.

A few from last week's heatwave.

I came across this garden it reminded me of Alice in wonderland. I was expecting to see Alice, the white rabbit and the mad hatter having a party.

Later a phone box being used as a giant plant pot.

Beside a canal, free range eggs being sold with an honesty box.

Ah no I haven’t tried that, I will have to give that a go later. I used to have a fan that you fill a tray with cold water (which I’d put in fridge) and then the water vapour would spray but that broke but your idea sounds very similar. Thanks for the tip

It was cooler first thing. Had a walk with cool arms in preparation for the warm later. ,

I’m using my ice packs and headache ice hats to cool me down but they are warm in five mins.

have you tried having a fan running on slow speed with a bowl of water in front of it so it blows wate vapour at you?

I live in a hot country (Brazil) so use this on the really hot nights.

Having a quiet fan and using a timer plug are very useful options otherwise it can dehydrate you if it is running all night.

Oof I’m sorry to hear that. I’m using my ice packs and headache ice hats to cool me down but they are warm in five mins. I feel I’m having my summer depression again

Too hot here for the second day. I find it difficult when the day doesn't start a little cool. Hoping it is better tomorrow as looks like cooler by morning. Now just longing for this hot spell to end and a few rain showers. I like Spring when it is sunny and not too warm. I have things to do in the garden and it is too hot to stay out there.

I'm a winter girl too, or rather any season but summer.

It's blisteringly hot today and last night was awful, even with my dog mat, it wasn't helped by being constantly woken up by dog's and cats wanting things.

I’ll be honest with you, I’m more of a winter girl. Glad you had a nice time though  

Lovely!

Glad to hear you had fun!

Nice I hope you enjoyed I hope I get some sleep tonight it’s so hot
