How to Survive a Heatwave

Water! Lots of it:
- big glass mugs (3dl) of iced water throughout the day.
- neck bands, soaked in cold water, replenished during the day
- running cold water over wrists and forearms, often.
- cool showers
- stretching out (like a starfish!) on the bed with the Dyson cooler on high
- a big (new) cooling mat for Honey’s comfort

A bad night because of the heat. I got up at 4 am, opened all the windows to let in the cooler night air, had a shower and returned to bed with the Dyson cooler on and woke with Honey walking all over me at 6:30 to let me know it was way past her breakfast time ! I woke up slowly, had breakfast and then went down to the end of my road to do the weekend shopping.

Please excuse my obsession with the heat. I will get over it very soon. Roll on thunder storms and plenty of rain and a ten-degree drop in heat!
