I have absolutely no energy when it’s like this. And I sweat profusely.

Just the same as any other day, but slower.

oops, I meant sew

I sow because that means me moving and my mind busy, today I did 5500 steps without thinking about it and I am mostly standing up. It was 32 outside today and I managed to keep downstairs at a nice temperature, so it was a treat when I came downstairs for a change of scene. I kept downstairs at a steady 22 then 23 degrees, no fans

When indoors I do housework.
Have all windows and doors open and have fans going.

We tend to do stuff in the morning and sit watching tv or reading the papers in the afternoon.

I might also have done some online shopping. You could try that for the presents you need.

I was up early and cleaning while it was cool, my husband went for a walk.

We then met friends for lunch.

Since coming home I have done nothing and my husband has listed things on Ebay.

Tomorrow is cleaning a bedroom and bathroom upstairs and jam/chutney making.

When it’s hot I can’t go out apart from very early dog walks. I have no transport. I sit indoors, too hot to do anything useful like housework or gardening. I know it’s not good for anyone to be sitting most of the day and it’s so boring. I’ve done puzzles, read a book, done embroidery, had a nap. I need to buy several birthday presents but won’t be able to go shopping until the temperature is back to normal.
How do others fill these long heat wave days?
