    Hot weather!

    At the moment all of us are experiencing very hot weather.
    Some areas hotter than others.

    I think it is set to stay for a couple more days at least.

    We all know about keeping well hydrated with plenty of water, squash and tea.

    Avoiding being out in the hottest times of the day if possible. Dressing in cool, loose clothing. Keeping our homes as cool as possible with fans, closing blinds and curtains etc.

    Does anyone have a other tips to share with us?

    I try and remember to put the washing machine on overnight so I can hang the washing out before it gets too hot.

    We're also living on salads at the moment. Refreshing and no cooking.

      Yes I think salads are the way to go Daisy.

        I need to get my compression on, very early, or I can't get it on!! I won't mention what it is like removing it in the evening!

        I made a screen for the balcony when GD2 was a year old, so 16 years ago, it was the WK as well, they had been in the pool and after they had been picked up I sat out on the balcony thinking of a way I could make a screen and get it hung up!! I worked a few months with another system then DS2 drilled holes for me, 16 years later it still works!! A friend at the gym was saying they have ordered one for her mother from Amazon, as long as this works I will use it!

          Brilliant idea Lizzie ,
          We are thinking of having a awning installed on the patio doors
          The type that comes out like a canopy above the door ,

          I have a ice machine so I drink lots of iced water ,
          On a night I try to put my feet up as much as possible as feet swell in this weather,
          I do all you mentioned Gem ,
          We don't use a duvet in this weather we have a flat sheet we drape over us if we need it but last night even that was pushed to the bottom of the bed.

          We went to farm foods and bought ice lollies and ice cream ,
          We had ice cream last night but I just felt thirsty after it 😁
          Im not fat just 6ft too small

            Lizzie, what a great idea, and fantastic that it's lasting so well.

            Oma, I agree, ice cream makes you feel thirsty!

                I agree, ice cream is lovely but you need a drink too as it makes you thirsty!
                Juice based ice lollies are thirst quenching I find.

                Lizzie that's really good and what my OH would do. I think you two would get on well, with all your ideas and abilities!
