my local Bargain Booze has some of that but haven't tried it - will take your recommendation and give it a go!

Give it a go.

Although I'm a firm believer that drinks are enhanced by environment.

Eg Guinness is much better in Dublin, Brothers far nicer when drunk at Glasto etc, so if you're not fond of Mythos here, then book a flight to Santorini for the full experience!

That stubborn one still won’t change, despite other stations now readi g 42 🙈😂

Have actually coped better than expected during the working day due to the curtains and windows closed tactic. Was sweltering last night though and quite amazed I managed to sleep in it! Also quite proud of myself for still going to spin class (although gym is at least air conditioned).

I have a ticket for the cinema tonight and I know that will be blissfully cold when I get there but am really dreading the bus and the tube... anyone here braved the tube this past two days?

Feel like we need a check in with notorious sun worshiper @FuzzyDunlop...

[Alvoram]

There we have it, I'm surrounded by 40c+ amateur weather stations!

I'll stop now 🙈

(The hottest one was reading 42c then disappeared, hope it's ok 🙈😂)

Fires now in Greater London 😔 this isn’t good at all. I just hope everyone is ok.

I am trying to tell the dog it is too hot to go for a walk. I was saying "No Walk", and then pretending to pant and look hot (not sexy hot, that would be weird and wrong).

Not sure he understands.

It's actually really hard isn't it... Keeping my German Shephard and Golden Retriever locked in the bedroom with the air con. Goldie gets it, and just wants to chill, GSD wonders why I'm locking her up, not taking her out, and won't play... It's really tough 😞

She has absolutely zero sense of her own body temperature, she'd play herself to death in any heat if we let her.

My parents have a Ukrainian lady and her son staying with them at the moment … the son isn’t quite old enough to understand playing ball with the dog isn’t good for her .

Seems very appropriate...

Finally the cash I spent in replacing the windows is paying off. 10 degrees less in the house than outside (curtains etc closed early this morning of course.

Just dried laundry outside in about half an hour. My tomatoes are ripening at top speed. Making the most of it.

If the dog does understands walk and you keep saying walk then you're just hyping up the poor pup.

Even the thread is suffering in this heat!

I was saying No Walk. He is very intelligent. He replied, ah ok, let's hope for more reasonable temperatures tomorrow so you can take me out and pick up my shit.

my dog doing all he can to keep cool!

DO NOT BONFIRE OR BBQ in LONDON give those poor firefighters a chance 

[Kizzie]

Hurray...it's raining 😃

I feel a bit subversive saying that in this thread 😄

[JoeyT]

Just started raining here in Keynsham. Took the opportunity to stand in the garden for 5 minutes. Beautiful.

[JoeyT]

 

[Crazyfool01]

Think we need some of those water bombing planes like they have on the continent rather than more fire service cuts … 

[Crazyfool01]

I think we can pray for rain today or dance  … along with fuzzy … it’s acceptable in the current climate
