aGREE RE KIDS AND WATER BOTTTLES

all lunchtime they piss about then it" oh i need some water"

i took mine home for lunch today

I guess there is no upper temp because prior to global warming it wasn't thought nec

gave HT permission to turn garden hose on dcs today if hot tomorrow

Chocolate shoes - see the thread in style and beauty.

I'm glad i managed to find some specialist heat-rejection film to apply to the outside of our conservatory. Even in the full glare of the sun. i'm cool as a cucumber but the glass is boiling!
Just have to make sure cold water is NOT splashed onto the glass when it's this hot.
Don't want it cracking because of thermal shock.

i like this sentence ... "Animals were given regular hosings down and sprayed with dirt, which acts as a barrier to the sun," ... DS2 will be fine then - he is always grubbing around covered in a layer iof grime

(wonders whether to reapply suncream on top of it or not)

ooh look what i've found

Janeite if it is any consolation my skylight and automatic windows are quite annoying. They open and short according to temperature and I think if it rains, that can mean that when the conditions are borderline they open and shut, open and shut, open and shut.....

You can guarantee as well that if I have just got a bottom set year 9 class settled and into an activity they will start to open and shut again,

i knew there was mention of school's closing - so 2006 would have been right. at the time i was thinking pah it will be jsut as hot at home but you can get out the paddling pool/go to the beach/ swimming, have ice lollies etc etc.,
and didnt people die in paris during their heatwave, probably 2006 as well. <<more likely the elderly>>

Yes. My DD's school closed for a day in the summer of 2006.

ach, tuffen up
