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 became overwhelmed this afternoon in the garden. I was trying to rehang washing on the line but the combination of the heat, circa 30 debrees, and nova bright sun set me into a panic, head spinning, light headed, disorientated, etc. I got in as quickly as possible. This prolonged high temperature is giving brain fog too (I prefer the term cognitive impairment but think brain fog is more understood). Once Id drunk lots of water, cooled down inside, grounded myself and rested I recovered quickly. Th8ng is though I hate leaving our home in this, had this happened in the town I wouldn’t have had the things I need to rescue myself.
