Hot is an understatement
It's in the 80's here and getting hotter according to the weather forecasters


I was talking to a woman on my train last night who's daughter lives in Clacton ( The southern part of the UK ) and she said it was 36 degrees on wednesday


Were just not equiped for that sort of heat here, but when we get it it doesn't last long so it's pointless getting air conditioning installed. The shops are all air conditiioned though so it's lovely


I love the heat but not in this country, but if we were allowed to come into the office in a cossi and a sarong well bring it on!!!!

The cats house, we just pay the mortgage..
It's only 26 degrees here in Dundee just now, not that I'd know, being stuck in the office, but it's meant to be gorgeous next week aswell, when I'm off. We keep getting showers though, and then it smells really wierd when you go outside, like that hot wet tarmac smell (anyone know what I mean...?).

Yes i know what you mean Lauren, you can smell the roads.Gil was tiling his sisters kitchen in Glasgow last week and he said the same thing.

I just wish we could have a downpour to clear the air

It's funny you mention the roads! We have been having to have the gritters out to help with the melting tarmac!


I remember the other year when it was hot like this, there were bubbles in the tarmac and we all stuck sticks etc in it!

At the kitty's beck and call
It was 38 degrees on Tuesday for us.

Around here the train tracks have buckled, so all the mainline services are running very slowly. On Tuesday all the trains were cancelled for a while.

They have also been putting dust down on the roads to stick to the tarmac because the roads have been melting.

We too have joked about sleeping in the car, that has a/c we don't. It's unbearably hot and humid right now.

Beth I can't believe the train tracks! Thats crazy!
I'm not complaining about any of this as I adore the hot weather, makes me feel great, but we don't have a garden, and on Monday in our flat it was just unbearable. We were sweating sitting watching TV. I can't wait to move somewhere with a garden...I could go home from work and sit outside with a glass of wine....aaaaaaah one day

That happened here too! My friends were stuck on the tracks in the middle of nowhere for half an hour in an un-air conditioned carriage!

I hate it
Too hot for me and no air conditioning anywhere. None in the office so we are just opening the windows and using fans to circulate warm air
and if most shops around here have air con they certainly aren't switching it on! I went into Manchester's Arndale centre on Tuesday lunchtime and nearly passed out with the heat. I don't have air con in my car either so it's like an oven after sitting in the sun all day. Nope, I'm not a happy bunny! The only good part is that I have trees back and front so my flat stays cool. Bring on winter I say!

Yeah, the Arndale is hot - even with the new high ceilings!! I guess all the glass just turns it into a greenhouse!!!

Don't you be jinxing our weather though!
We get enough rain as it is most of the time!

Well its a bit cooler here today, thank goodness


The office has been unbearable all week...hot..sweaty...yucky
10 minutes after a shower i feel like i need to get back under it


We went to Conwy on Wednesday (lovely little coastal town in North Wales) to see the butterfly house. Well to say it was warm in there would be a HUGE under-statement
I reckon i was in there all of 15 minutes, the sweat was running down my back, into my eyes..well it wasnt pleasant

But we did have a nice drink and lunch at a pub on the harbour

And hubbys car has a/c so at least the car journey was cool


How have the cats been dealing with all the heat ? Mine have hardly moved, sleeping all the time and waking up around 8'ish. They are not eating anything like their normal intake. The only thing they seem to want is milk and the occasional mouth full of biscuit

Was it the Pili Palas?! I can imagine it was sweltering!!!

My four have been pretty hot too! I bought them some granite chopping boards for them to lie on and have had the fan on - keeping the furries cool!

Yes i think thats what it was called. I waited outside for 2 hours because Pete wanted to take photos of the butterflies. He had to take his t-shirt off it was so hot in there
When he came out he was covered in sweat, it was dripping of him. I must admit i was worried in case he got ill being in there so long, i just couldn't cope with the humidity

Lucky, lucky mogs
When we have both been at work the best i could do for mine was to keep all the curtains drawn to try and keep the heat out.

I have no idea how Pete coped in there for so long?!! No wonder he was dripping - I'd have melted, I think!!


It helps with the curtains shut though, doesn't it?! Maybe your mogs would like chopping boards too!
I just wish that my house wasn't south facing!! (not always, mind you!
) The cream curtains on the back to nothing to stop the heat!
