[Help] This wretched heat

[Questions]

26 in London today 29 in Rome.

You’re right you know. That’s a lot cooler than the last 6 years out there. I’ll be sipping Aperol Spritz all the same to keep cool just in case.

cold dark and miserable.

Are you describing the OP?

A tower fan from Lidls set on timer in the bedroom, and sleep like a baby.

And you probably still wear a winter coat to pop down to the shops I guess?

It's one thing being hot commuting, out and about etc, but the heat last night, even with windows open, was awful. Took me ages to get to sleep.

I like the heat, but it's the humidity that's unbearable.

I had a summer job, painting council houses in Lancing in 76. We had the plague of ladybirds, and on the radio, a young Ian Botham was making his name in the tests. One bloke working with me was, like me, a big fan of the 101ers, and knew the guitarist from art school where he had been dubbed 'Woody Mellor, on pick and shovel guitar'. I wonder whatever happened to Woody Mellor? Here is a photo:

Here in Faversham it hasn't rained since early May. I have a bumper crop of plums but they are less than half their usual size, and are rather dry and tasteless. The asparagus, however (which I have been watering) have been insane. More than 250 from a bed only six feet long.

The commute to London has been OK, largely because I have been working from home for much of the time.....

Blimey! I thought that was a young Joe Strummer

Enjoying the summer but as usual someone has to complain when we get good weather

It makes me laugh People having a pop at others for not liking heat, its a bit like calling someone out if they dont like spicy food. Its personal preferance, it doesnt make anyone, more or less of a person.

Personally I love this weather I cannot stand horrible winter mornings getting up for work, this makes it bareable long may it last.

I'm in the "enough already" camp for sure.

18 degrees with a light breeze is where I'd set the weather year-round if I could. Warm enough to wear shorts and t-shirt all the time but not too hot.

It was school sports day today and most parents spent their time ducking from shaded area to shaded area whilst trying to watch their kids do their thing, most of whom soon got fed up of having to exert themselves in the ridiculous heat, and I don't blame them.

It stuffs up walking the dog too. I try to get him out early but even around 8 this morning I didn't want to be throwing toys for him, as he'd get too hot and I'll not be taking him out again until 9ish this evening when it's a lot cooler for him.

Fortunately the house isn't too bad, with a nice breeze blowing through, which is just as well as I'm inside for most of the day waiting for it to cool down a bit.

You woose (sp) you and your dog ought to man up a bit, you'll be no good on a dark winters evening in Rochdale?

Ps. Don't ban me Boz? Only joshing mate?

Au contraire. You'll find us out in the pissing rain, the howling wind and, quite often, the pitch black on the Downs.

It's just not fair to take him out in the heat of the middle of the day right now. Even if I try to keep things low key, he's a Lab who has just turned one and only has one mode: really playful. He gets so hot it takes him ages to recover.

So, instead, he spends all day looking hopeful whenever I move, optimistically believing I might be about to take him out.

Vets are advising people to walk their dogs either early morning or into the evening, because of the heat.

Vets are advising people to walk their dogs either early morning or into the evening, because of the heat.

Vets should also be advising that Dogs take their owners for a walk in the early morning or evening because of the heat !!

I wish the weather would break here as well, it won't stop proxy raining !
I got laid off a week or so ago and started doing the handyman thing again.
I managed to get a couple of weeks work secured, but have to work outside on these jobs and so far have only managed to get out theirs 2 days over the last week, it's doing my head in, 'king raining all the time.
Never thought this would be a problem here !

Send it over here. I get paid to sit on my arse if it's raining.
