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 spoke to a farmer today who farms the fields adjacent to my workshop, the wheat crop was 50% of last year and last year wasn’t that good. Last year produced 40 bales of straw, this year’s was 12 bales. It’s the last year they will farm wheat, next year will be rapeseed. I can see food costs rising.  The heat has far reaching consequences.
