Anyone suffering in the heat wave?

The sun's gone down and it's still 24 degrees here....

Greenhouse temperature is 49 - so spend a few minute in there and then outside 30 degrees seems comfortable for a while.
Being English I always thought a nice cup of tea solved all issues.
Seriously - plenty of fluids - not too alcoholic - keep in the shade if possible or wear a hat.
Make the most of it, soon you will have something else to complain about.

Well i have to say it is too hot for me and i do tend to burn. I went to sports day the other day and had to stand in a field in the boiling sun for 4 hrs. I managed to fine a nice big tree but there mus have bin a gap in the leaves as i managed to catch the sun a little on... wait for it... my one boob, sorry to be rude, but yes i am now walking around with one big red boob and the rest of me is as white as snow lol oops

Low cloud/fog yet again today here on the coast. Just 2 miles inland it is hot sun (where my lotty is)

[rustylady]

Cloudy and cool here too. Got warm at the lotty yesterday afternoon, but much lower temperatures here on the coast generally.

Climbing to 30 plus again! and likely to stay that way for whole week ! Arms growing longer from carrying water ! Pumpkins growing a good 3 inches a day! Whew!

a dogs life

My poor dog, being a retriever he has a thick coat which must be like wearing a double duvet. Have to walk him early in the morning and keep him in doors on the stone floor. At least he is mostly sleeping all day and not bouncing around like a nut case.

I don't mind this weather, I grew up abroad in a hot climate so reminds me of being a kid again which is nice

My only thing is sleeping with the windows open, I just have this odd fear of someone putting a ladder up and climbing through my window. No idea why, but it means I sleep lightly as I need to be on guard or something.

I worry less about people and more about the blinkin' neighbourhood cats that come in the house when we leave the windows open.

Drives me nuts, we can't leave our bedroom window open more than a couple of inches without the little b*ggers coming in and waking us up with a fright in the middle of the night.

Chris how about one of those window security grills that would give you a good nights sleep, my problem is when the windows open it does make it noisier so that takes a bit of getting used to.

We did a car boot sale yesterday (30C in the shade). It was a tad warm for my liking!

When we got back my OH painted a shelf outside- again in the shade and it was drying on the brush whilst he applied it

That was my issue last week Chris, when I was sleeping downstairs. Didn't seem right leaving the windows open I don't give it a thought though when I'm sleeping upstairs

We can only have ours open a couple of inches too, or one of our own cats will find her way into the bedroom!
