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 was in Petworth House during the height of the heatwave and it was blissfully cool.

    There is a cold room for storing meat that was built in the north with only small high windows and tiling.

    The thick stone walls of old houses are so much more practical in the heat.
