Louisa, not sure what the glitch is but you have kept the wonderful diaries going ,I for one am very grateful to you.
There is no obligation yet you come up trumps almost every Monday.
On occasion another starts it so thanks to those people too .

I just looked up what I said re wet flannels kept in the fridge ,it is the recommended way to cool down,also a wet towel hung in a room will lower the temperature.
Look it up folks .

I have defrosted the hot pot in the fridge overnight —- what a numbskull I am! It might be O.K defrosted until tomorrow but I don’t like to do that really.

I also think sitting in the edge of the bath  with your feet in cold water would be a good thing to do .I know though Inwould get severe cramp !

Do look after yourselves folks ,we mean a good deal to each other.
Viktoria.

Feet in a bowl of water is refreshing, I might slip off the edge of the bath.

Well , let's look forward to cooler weather, we will all feel better  for it

Just washed 2 cellular  blankets, they won't take long to  dry, will cook in this heat

26 degrees already at 10 a.m. here in Devon!  I'm staying indoors with curtains semi-closed and a glass of water by my side.  Tomorrow evening we are supposed to be going to a local society social, but we are waiting to see how the temperatures are before we set out on the 10 minute walk (uphill) to the village hall.  Even 10 minutes in this heat is too much for me!

Keep cool, everyone, whatever it takes (feet in cold bath, wet towel, etc.) and drink lots!

For those with fans, if you put a bowl of water in front of the fan the cooling effect will increase. It’s especially helpful if your leg are hot , put the fan and water on the floor. We need very little trick at our disposal in this heat🥵

Louisa, not sure what the glitch is but you have kept the wonderful diaries going ,I for one am very grateful to you.

I’ll second that   

My sister and family live in South Wales where they have a red weather warning.  Yesterday at her grandson’s primary school they were all sitting outside in the shade with their feet in buckets of water. Very sensible but the image did make me chuckle.  Today the school is closing at midday.

Hope everyone manages to keep cool and well hydrated.
