Not looking forward to extreme heat

Homebird

It is just about reaching as hot as I can bear, towards the upper 20s. If we get extreme heat for a few days I get through it by thinking that it will be over soon. At the moment next week is predicted to be around 30 all week and often the prediction gets higher as it gets closer.

I like to be outside at least some of each day, but I am not sure there will be much that is bearable. 

I am hoping they have got it wrong and it reduces sooner than Monday week.

  • I hope people are surviving, I watched the heatwave programme Marianne recommended and now having one it really highlights how bad it can be for people's health. It's comforting to see people still posting so everyone knows they are okay!

    Even we (In Scottish Borders) are finding it too hot, so dread to think of how others are finding it. Working from home is proving awful now, as it's 29 outside and 33 in our office as the heat from the machines builds up through the day (a converted garage). 

    I hope the schools are being sensible, my kids were still made to play rounders outside in the middle of the day.  I think the PE teacher is a bit mad.

    Contemplating sandwiches for dinner so I don't have to put the oven on. 

    Sending cool thoughts, like basins of cold water for feet and washing hair and leaving it to dry. Washing some towels and letting them dry inside to cool houses down? Stay safe!

    Try hanging wet washing [sheets/towels] in front of the windows. I fixed a pulley maid in the veranda outside my bedroom window, which makes this easier.
