  1. Cabling job this afternoon… 3rd storey loft and it can’t be postponed… Wish me luck.

    UPDATE: It’s been postponed til Monday 😅🎉

  2. Mega rare Friday off. Will be spent blowing my nose and itching my eyes by the looks so far.

  3. Hoping the hot weather in the UK stays the hell away from here in Norway until our holiday tbh. Working in 30c in my paint suit and mask and gloves sucks, so I’d rather not

  4. Ha! I was just coming to post this here! It’s 21°c with cloud cover here in Carmarthenshire, and it’s not even 8am. Cloud is due to clear by about 10-11am and then it’s going to hit 28°c quite quickly. Wouldn’t be surprised if it actually gets a bit higher again.

    Back to normal tomorrow thank fuck.

  5. Yup out with a coffee, and the cat having a sniff about before it gets too hot for him at 0615. Going to be Scorchio in central Scotland today.

    Have a splendid day every and don’t forget to drink water.

  6. Woke upwith a banging headache after two hours in the sun yesterday with hat, cool clothing and water. Sigh!

    Have a cool weekend everyone 

  7. I’m waiting to hear back about an interview I had on Wednesday. I was supposed to hear back yesterday afternoon so think it’s a bad sign I still haven’t heard anything 😭

  8. I started running (again) a few months ago, and many a morning I’ve dragged myself out knowing that by the time I’m back home I’ll feel loads better and been glad that I didn’t back out.

    Opened the door this morning and straight up noped it back indoors. No regrets.

    (Monday’s run is thankfully looking to be 9 degrees cooler!)

  9. With the heat, the fact that the house is now holding onto the heat it’s absorbed and nicely radiating it back at night and no breeze at all overnight.

    I also have a meeting with the facilities manager at the school opposite with a few neighbours and a local councillor about the noise from the badly maintained air conditioning unit on the roof that turns on at 5:30am to hopefully get them to do something about it.

  10. Got boxed in at my local Tesco express, bright sparks can see the car park is full from the road yet they proceed to turn in and block anyone wanting to exit. A delightful man in a merc dumped his car directly behind me making it impossible to move meanwhile people stare at me for my space like I’m a shapeshifter 🫩🥴 So off to a good start. I have full control of the air con today so I won’t be a sweating mess nor shivering my nipples off, I’ll get the sweet spot 😮‍💨 Anyway, I digress, have a great day everyone!!

  11. Travel to Finland. 19 max temp with sprinkles of rain.

    I can’t wait to get away from this boiler room of a country for a few days

  12. Just home from work. According to my Fitbit I walked over eleven miles yesterday, and I’ve walked nearly six so far today, so no wonder my legs ache. Banana milkshake for breakfast, shower and bed. Whether I actually sleep or not is another matter.

  13. I’ve got to get on a train to London for the weekend, it’s too hot for that shit. Ilive 500m from the sea in Cornwall, so it’s very counterintuitive. Last time I went it did the same thing, nearly 40 degrees.

  14. Off work sick for the first time in years thanks to some horrid tummy bug.
    And the guilt at being off is rubbish!

  15. I’m actually looking forward to the school run for once as its 30 minutes of air conditioning.

  16. I’m at work with six fans running full blast with every single window open just to keep the temperature at a bearable level in the office space

  17. But the bullet and bought a portable AC for the house. Worth every penny.

  18. Just packed my campervan for a weekend away with lots of wild swimming. Already sweating and dehydrated 😭 going to drink lots of water and rest before I set off

  19. Off to Manchester on the train for a few hours. Did the journey ~month ago when it was also really hot, and the AC in my carriage wasn’t working. It was hellish.

    Packed extra water and have my deodorant on hand, just in case!

  20. Heading to London – hot tubes and even hotter Brixton academy tonight !

  21. I have the day off due to an awkwardly timed physio appointment. I was planning on cutting the grass before it gets too hot but I might just sit in a puddle of my own sweat instead

  22. Kids sports day.

    Last one got called off midway because of torrential rain. This one might get called off cause all the wee Scottish Gingers catching fire.

  23. Butlins adult weekender with fancy dress both nights. I’m going to be a sweaty drunk mess

  24. Don’t mention the Weather! I did once, but I think I got away with it.

  25. Had a banging headache all day yesterday, made the mistake of going to lie down “for an hour” after work. Woke up sweaty and confused at 10.30pm and wandered around in the gloom eating grapes and bits of rolled up ham until 2am. Slept a few more hours and woke up to find someone somehow turned my house into a giant air fryer when I wasn’t looking.

    I don’t work Fridays, so am going to a local yarn shop for wool and Asda for icecream, then hiding indoors with my knitting until the sun goes away and I can maybe get some weeding done.

  26. I made an iced coffee this morning to prepare myself to get on a train to London

  27. Looking forward to taking a urine sample to the doc’s later today. Nothing like sitting on a hot bus with a pocket full of piss.

  28. Well today is off to a mildly awkward start. Went out to go to Sainsbury’s before it got too hot, spotted the neighbours had rubbish in the wrong bin again (see yesterday’s complaints thread), took it out to put it in the right bin and may have sworn loudly in the process… only to then see said neighbour coming up the drive. So now I’m doing that classic British thing of hoping he’ll be gone when I come back and when we see each other again we just both pretend it didn’t happen.

    Anyway. Shopping done, now on the way home to start work. Thankfully it’s relatively steady at the moment so I’m hoping I can slot a few household chores in around admin tasks I need to catch up on. My boyfriend is coming over tonight as well so I’ll make paella and patatas bravas for dinner and we’ll probably watch a film of some sort.

    Have a good day everyone!

  29. i’ve reached the point of considering buying myself a paddling pool so i can fill it with ice and have a mard about the current heat situation.

    my dog’s miserable too. the heat can bother me all it wants but i draw the line at upsetting my dog.

    i also can’t be arsed to cook anymore because of the heat so i’m living off little nibbles here and there.

  30. I have a 2-part job interview today, it’s going to be 27°, can I interview with bare legs, or do I suck it up and wear tights? 

  31. Weekend plans have been cancelled due to the heat, so I’m going to lie in my garden eating ice-cream and occasionally spraying myself with the hose. Lovely.

  32. WFH day.

    The light, heat and music are all set to my personal taste and rather than the sound of angry bosses, chavs, car horns, plant machinery and safety alarms the only sounds outside are goldfinches, goldcrests and the occasional crow.

    Is this what inner peace feels like?
