Just remembered a sight from my ride this morning, a young woman waiting at a bus stop wearing a fur trimmed parka like coat.

Surely you will need a shower and a change of PJs before bed.I've decided the same. Stuck the PJ's on so I can't really!
I had a cool shower about 2000 last night...that helped me sleep

I installed an attic 15 years ago that also required adding 4 large louvers to the attic wall. With the windows open it changes all the air in the house in about 15 minutes. Probably more importantly it gets the 60C air out of the attic which otherwise would keep the entire house warm. Early in the am another 30 minutes or so keep the house cool for a long time. We got along this way for many years, but when my wife hit menopause I got her central air which is nice but costs much less to run combined with the attic fan. Exercising in the heat requires lots of water and electrolyte replacement which I resolve with Gatoraid. In time you do adjust... last night it was 24C and I had to go outside where it was 30C becaus I was uncomfortably cold. In February we keep the place at 22C and it seems very toasty. My brother and sister in law live in southern Mexico and if itsc

Did it require much effort on his part?Another great night with the Zoom, a few beers were had and a good laugh. I used 5 of your questions which got them all thinking, they eventually got them right with a few clues.
Back from the park now trying to keep cool, poor Alan is totally whacked out sounding more like a tractor than a whippet!
Think I'll give the digging a miss today, Screenman has convinced me!

At a party many years ago and we noticed that our mate had disappeared, we found him 20 minutes later, flat on his face on the lawn out the back counting the blades of grass.

Hills round here are mostly filled with the sound of panting cyclists,I'm planning to head for Willoughby this morning, mostly a rolling route, just Mill hill and Huningham hill that qualify
Hills round here are mostly filled with the sound of panting cyclists,
Went out at 8 30 Full of good intentions To do my 35 mile loop.Nice cooling breeze to start with.After about 22 miles I felt as if I was being roasted alive.Decided to bail Finished with 25 miles.It took me a bit by surprise how quickly it heated up
My remedy for feeling knackered A chocolate milkshake and two cans of coke out the fridge.
Oh where has the exuberance of youth gone?🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️👩🦯🚶🏻♂️

Well done, it was tough out there today, I dehydrated a little this morning.
Just had an email from the council.
They've declared a " Major incident and multi agency emergency"
Here's part of the message, sorry if it is a bit long.
"A major incident has been declared after thousands of people defied advice to stay away and descended on BCP Council beaches on the hottest day of the year so far.
A multi-agency emergency response has now been activated to co-ordinate resources across the area to tackle the issues.
Council Leader Vikki Slade said: “We are absolutely appalled at the scenes witnessed on our beaches, particularly at Bournemouth and Sandbanks, in the last 24-48 hours. The irresponsible behaviour and actions of so many people is just shocking and our services are stretched to the absolute hilt trying to keep everyone safe. We have had no choice now but to declare a major incident and initiate an emergency response.”
Services were left completely overstretched as visitors arrived in large volumes resulting in widespread problems of illegal parking, excessive waste, anti-social behaviour, gridlock on roads and prohibited overnight camping.
BCP Council issued 558 parking enforcement fines – the highest on record – and responded to many reports of cars parking and causing an obstruction.
Roads in and out of the area were heavily congested into the early hours.
Crews received widespread abuse and intimidation as they attempted to empty overflowing bins on the seafront. In the stretch between just the piers, eight tonnes of waste was collected yesterday on the second collection run of the day. This morning, a further 33 tons of waste was removed along the full stretch of coastline.
There were also a number of incidents reported which involved excessive alcohol and fights.
Additional police patrols have now been brought in, security put in place to protect refuse crews and additional parking enforcement implemented to support the management of car parks and ticketing.
Signage urging people that the conurbation is full are now in use, including on approach roads.
Overnight campers were evicted and further patrols by seafront ranger staff will be put in place.
Public health messaging has gone out to ensure people stay hydrated especially if stuck in long traffic queues"
My mind is well and truly boggled, what is the matter with people 🙄
