At 9:30am it was already 29C here and my poor next door neighbours are moving today. 😳 😢 I'd have got a removal van in but they've hired a van and are shifting everything themselves. I was chatting to her outside at 8am and the poor girl already looked flaked out and her husband isn't picking the van up until 1:30pm.
I've got solid floors and the cats have crashed out in the back bedroom (coolest room). Seems they know how to find the coolest spots as well as the warmest.
It's 32C here now as well. Thankfully, the house is relatively cool, but when I went out to put stuff in the recycling bin a short time ago, the heat hit me like a sauna. Apologies for any offence that I'm about to cause, but anyone who likes this weather is raving mad! 😜
I feel so sorry for anyone who has to work today. I'm away at the weekend but, thankfully, the temperatures are due to be lower or I'll be throwing myself into the nearest fountain or melting.
Now you all know why I am up at 5.30 getting jobs done before it becomes really hot. I am normally up at 6am anyway, but don't treat things with such urgency as I do in this weather. It was still 28c at 5am today!
I don't know how Sam can bear to wear collar and tie.He doesn't even have to, he is his own boss but he says, and I understand it, that he looks, and feels, more professional.
It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.
I've got all the curtains and blinds drawn and the window closed so inside it's not too bad but the garden is unbelievably hot, Harry came in at 1030 and just laid on the floor panting but within minutes he'd gone back out again, daft cat!
This is the first house I've ever lived in that has solid floors which I think helps keep the house cooler in the summer and stores the heat in the winter. Mind you it also helps that the lounge is south facing and the bedrooms north so it's cooler for sleeping, the old house was east/west facing and even with the curtains pulled the bedrooms were like ovens!
Keep out of the sun and drink plenty of water everyone

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right, the only difference is they're wrong
I can cope for a few days, but couldn't take it constantly like you do Cass. Last year was too much for me, not happy once it reaches 29/30c
It's easier to take when we think about the winter when we struggle to keep warm - and it is only like this for a couple of months - Spring and Autumn are wonderful.
