Hot Weather

How is everyone one coping with the Hot Weather?

I was thinking of getting my airbrush out to spray my Fire Tender hull. But at the moment my Cabin gets up to high temps at the moment. It was 41°C yesterday afternoon in there ! I think the paint would be drying very fast!

I can’t get to my desk in the loft at the moment as we have two of our sons and families staying with us.

I’m getting up before 6 to give my dog a short walk before it’s too hot, him being black doesn’t help.

I’ve started considering what I’m want to build next .

How about an icebreaker Tim?

My workshop is too hot to spend any time in. I have just been doing some work of Silver Mist fittings for a few minutes at a time. It is frustrating.

Just some ice would be nice, preferably in a nice long drink.

It makes you think when you are at an age when the Health Service tells you not to go out but stay indoors!

Our visitors have all gone out so I’m tempted to have a quick snooze !

Granddad might be volunteered to play games when they get back.

Think I’ll make myself a coffee to keep me going.

Tim,

Yes, take it easy during the afternoon and drink lots of water! (and maybe some beer!). You really are at risk if you overdo it.

People say ‘oh we are used to this heat on holiday’ but at home you have more humidity, no pool and no air conditioned room to retreat to.

When I stopped driving abroad I noticed the heat a lot more. We were used to spending the morning driving around in Greece visiting place of interest and then hopping back to our air conditioned hire car.

Yes we had done hot days in Italy, and America but it did make the beer taste better.

The worst was my youngest son’s wedding in Malaysia. 34 degrees, in a suit, walking in procession to to the brides family home for the ceremony! At least I didn’t have to wear traditional costume like the groom and my eldest son.

Still 82F 28C at 8.30 tonight! Really a bit too much!

Hopefully we will get a bit of a respite this week!

Looking at my vegetable plot, we may need to grow different varieties of vegetables. Very little seems to be growing to any size. We don’t have a hosepipe ban but are being asked not to use them to water the garden.

Guess that means the prices of  vegetables etc in the supermarket will go up!
