Too hot

[altariel]

Right, gods of weather, that's it, I'm not going outside again this week. Not unless there's rain, and the sky is grey, and it's a good seven or eight degrees cooler than it is now, and - dammit, WIMBLEDON is on, why isn't it chucking it down?! Stupid rubbish gods.

Oh, dear. If you're not used to that kind of heat, it can be really miserable. BTW, if it's been as much as 40c there, it's way hotter than it ever gets in most parts of Florida. It's rare for temps here to go above 93f (about 34c) because of the prevailing ocean breeze we usually have. Keep your wrists and neck cool with wet towels and that will help keep you cool. You can always lie down on the bathroom floor. Tile usually stays pretty cool. :-) I'm doing the South Florida rain dance on your behalf.

Thanks for all this, the rain dance in particular is much appreciated! I'm about as far from the coast as you can be in the UK, so no sea breeze, alas :-( The BBC website is telling me that it didn't quite hit 30 C today, but the still air really is the killer. I'll be glad when that fan arrives tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'm off to get a flannel and wrap it round my neck - brilliant idea!
