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.

  • News is, we will be having more heat waves - so better make plans than panic. I decided to buy anything that helps right now, in case there is a rush, forgoing my usual treats. My latest is a cooling blanket suggested by one of the mods - big thank you Thumbsup. Planning ahead gives you a bit of control. Let's use our creative thinking to help ourselves.

    I freeze bottles of water (don't fill them too full because ice expands), wrap one in a pillow case and take it around with you. It's so nice to have by your feet, behind your neck (which sounds awful unless it's really hot), or to just hug in bed.
