Poo Cass. Poor Sam having to travel about in those temperatures - hope he has his Tena Ladies in place.
LOL! Tempted as I am to leave that remark hanging, I'd better assure the others that Sam is not incontinent.
As he wears collar and tie for work, even in the hottest weather, he has discovered that lining his collar with panty liners, keeps his neck dry and collar unwrinkled
He actually has some 'proper' collar liners for this purpose but they proved to be expensive, and useless, but gave him the idea.
We got some curious looks in the supermarket as he scanned the shelves muttering things like " I prefer a more streamlined shape, a bit longer" while I edged a bit further away....
It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.
I know he's a stickler for a smart, professional appearance but in temperatures like those you are experiencing, surely no-one - especially his regular clients - would mind him dressing more casually?
All through my senior school, I was friends with a girl whose mother, Aliki, was Greek (English father, local coal merchant) and each summer they would travel by boat to Athens to stay with family. Every year she'd write to me about the unbearable heat, even when they were staying at the summer, seaside homes. We lost touch but I found her on Facebook and she's a renowned photographer, based in Paris. www.brenda-turnnidge.fr/
I tell him that, Nellie, but he insists it’s a state of mind. He puts his tie on, he has his work head on. Some of his customers are so bloody annoying that he needs that detachment. it has it’s funny side. I broke a beloved casserole dish and he popped into a large warehouse type shop where we had bought it, to get a replacement on his way home from work.He thought it was rather quiet but he strode purposefully to the aisle he wanted, picked up the dish and took it to the checkout. The store manager appeared, flustered, and asked him what he was doing. it turned out that the shop had just been robbed and when Sam strode in they had assumed he was a senior detective. Just then, 2 squad cars arrived and the police also assumed he was there to investigate …

I keep a 7.5 tog duvet on the bed all year round. In winter I've got a thick bedspread plus a woollen blanket for backup. If it's very hot I slip the duvet out and sleep under just the cover.
I’d melt with a thicker duvet. Mine’s a 1 tog rating and I have it on the bed in winter. Now that it’s summer I’ve just got a cover over me. I used to have a 4.5 tog on the bed but got fed up with waking up and having to bale out because I was too hot. It’s been relegated to the cupboard. I guess I must just be hot blooded. 😳
Ideal temperatures for me today ,….. 18C and no rain.
