What are you avoiding doing in this heat?

I have to lift my dog onto the shady side of the road and avoid the hot pavement.. She refuses to wee in the garden and I worry about bladder infections! She has a quick wee and then home again. I feel as though I have to explain to every passer by that Im not a cruel dog owner1

I need to put washing out on the line.
I know I'll regret it if i don't.

I’ve done very little today. Went out early to buy some new line for my ancient strimmer, spent a ridiculous amount of time getting it to work and then thought “really can’t be bothered!” Did some laundry, made a big jug of iced tea and wrote half a poem which I probably won’t finish. Will shortly prepare a cottage cheese salad for tea and then when it has cooled down, water the garden.

I worked for half an hour in the school library then came home and hung out a washing. The rest of the day I have rested, did some Spanish and read. I have stayed out of the sun

I seem to be giving everything a body swerve today

Have been indoors all day avoiding the 33 deg heat and just looking forward to sunset and opening the back doors and giving everything a good water. I may have a Zero Guiness at the same time. Need to pop a couple in the fridge.

And a packet of crisps

Don’t fare well in this weather would have preferred to do as little as possible but family descended, am now completely shattered, just had a nearly cold shower, London is really sizzling 🥵
And have tried everything to make the bedroom cooler, but is like a furnace.
DH sleeps downstairs due to disabilities and his bedroom is not bad, I slept on a bed topper in his room last night with no duvet just a sheet, will probs do the same tonight.

I do things at the end of the day and do things slowly during the day. I need to get my walk in though so will probably go at 8 p.m. Had a dreadful night last night as the heat collects at the back of our house where we sleep. Will watch a film this afternoon and perhaps carry on painting my picture.

I am at a local beach with two GS’s it’s glorious.

Bet the sea is freezing

Wearing a bra! At least around the house - fortunately I was never well-endowed so no big deal.

Unless going out, I just wear 2 long, loose, pure cotton dresses bought in a heatwave a few years ago.

They are of a sort of big seersucker material IYKWIM - TBH they are a bit sack-of-potatoes-ish, but who cares? And hallelujah, they don’t even need ironing! - I just hang them up to dry.

I watered the garden yesterday, early morning and again last evening as I had been away for three days. So at the moment I'm relaxing under the cantilever parasol, reading and keeping hydrated. I cooked salmon and made enough potato salad for two days, so no cooking tonight.

Almost everything except drinking loads of water!!

I've fed the birds and that's about it for today

I'm avoiding everything and watching Montalbano and pottering now and then. IN an out of GN a bit. A siesta, later

Last evening I went to the park for a walk at 5.30 and will do the same today. Had a lot of strain recently and resulting fatigue and this really hot weather just makes my brain a mush which suits just fine.

I've just hoovered and done a bit of washing up. Domestic goddess here 😂

Now relaxing as its 31° and then I'll do some lunch.

Avoiding everything! But today I went out at 8.30!with my son in an air con car into a air on Waitrose - bliss to buy a few things that “was not available” in my Ocado delivery. We have a big birthday week here over half term twins GC ,GS and DiL. We are all getting together for a BBQ (sons doing it) and I’m providing cake (bought) and strawberries. Can’t bear to have the oven on . So that’s it for the day now indoors with a fan and closed blinds as I am actually finding this heat quite difficult. Maybe it’s because I was still wearing a jumper this time last week in foggy Cornwall …

Resting, drinking lots of water, wearing linen loose fitting dresses, prepared a chicken salad for later. Watered plants at 7.00 am. Not much going on while it’s this hot but I adjust my days to suit.

I like it being this hot.

Its like having permission to have a holiday from all the Usual Stuff guilt free.

I do have to water the tender plants in the evening tho, but one picks up and is livelier.

moving! i hate heat and am just sat by an open window though not as much breeze today
worried about my dog as he has typical Chihuahua trachea issues Due to issues long story he normally lies in his bed in the corner. I moved his bed today and just put down a blanket as I thought a fur basket bit hot. Anyway i put down a big bowl of chilly water and put the fan opposite him so not too frightening but does get the breeze. the window is close too dont know what else I can do; bedroom is lovely and shady most the time but he wont go where I am not

32 here! We have a small Southwest facing garden which is paved, so we are not using it much! I’ve just ordered another fan, a tower one for our sitting room. I’m not doing anything apart from some sewing, having said that, I did go out for some salad earlier, saw a woman in a thick fleece, really?

32 here too.
Nothing, or as little as possible.

Personally, I'm avoiding shorts!

Hunkered down in a room with an aircon unit installed a few years ago. Went down to the shop for eggs at 8 am.
Wondering why people are lying about in the sun. I did 10 mins gardening at 4 pm yesterday and the back of my neck was burning.
