...sitting indoors with the blinds shut wearing nothing but a giant pair of M&S nude pants and spraying myself with a plant spraying bottle.

Honestly, I'm not a troll and I'm so happy I live alone so that no one can see me!! What are you doing to keep cool?

Hate to say it, but it’s been reasonably ok (SmoreEish) by me today. Lovely strong breeze all day.

eyeing up the next few days with a bit more suspicion though.

Beees · 14/07/2022 16:08

I'm wearing short shorts. I'm honestly so hot I'm officially past the stage of caring what people might think so I even went outside in them despite not shaving my legs. 😅

CuriousCatfish · 14/07/2022 16:09

It's a beautiful day today. Not too hot and a lovely breeze.

courgettigreensadwater · 14/07/2022 16:10

Beautiful in the SW today. Sea breeze, sat in the sun after finishing work Smile

TuftyMarmoset · 14/07/2022 16:11

I usually wfh but I have to go into the office tomorrow and I’m questioning whether it’s acceptable to wear shorts…(no client meetings or anything like that) Shorts and a tshirt is the most I’ve worn all week and I’m not sure I can face anything else!

Solosunrise · 14/07/2022 16:21

Ive been out in public in shorts. And I'm about to soak my boiling feet in cold water

OdeToSadDisco · 14/07/2022 16:22

Also wearing shortish shorts, and on my second ice lolly

Yodaisawally · 14/07/2022 16:26

I'm in the loft extension with a lovely breeze coming through, it's pleasant. SE London.

Bluevelvetsofa · 14/07/2022 17:07

It’s lovely on the south coast. Certainly not too hot for me.

Plinkton · 14/07/2022 18:03

Currently wearing my knickers and bra in the garden reading a book. Can't wait to hear DDs comments about that when she gets home

Earlier I drive a fair way with DS to drop him off with family and as the car has aircon I had a lovely drive there and back

onmywayamarillo · 14/07/2022 18:07

It wasn't too bad here today! 23 with a nice nw breeze, south west of London

I'm absolutely dreading Monday and Tuesday. I think the kids will be mysteriously unwell for those school days 😬

SuperCamp · 14/07/2022 18:10

I’ve been getting through the washing and drying it in a flash in the sun and breeze.

Lovely weather.

Much less ‘close’ than yesterday.

Hugasauras · 14/07/2022 18:11

Thank god for Scotland. I'm wearing a jumper Grin

CeeceeBloomingdale · 14/07/2022 18:16

It’s freezing here, too cold to sit out and I regretted not taking a jacket on the school run. It’s my day off and I wanted to sunbath with a good book.

That was me yesterday. My skin felt hot constantly so I was also using my plant sprayer liberally (fine mist from a great height so it moistens the air around you as well as dampening your skin. Add a few drops of essential oil (my current favourite is lavender) and drinking copious amounts of green tea with mint...🌹

Crunchymum · 14/07/2022 18:23

Monday and Tuesday are set to be 10c hotter than today (today was 27c) so I'm making the most of today's relatively mild conditions 😅

CherryRipe1 · 14/07/2022 18:27

Used the ice packs that came with my recipe box delivery today. Bliss!

Wearing a light cardigan - its cloudy and windy and 17C

Better than yesterday when it was only 14C and I had to pop the central heating on for an hour.

East coast of Scotland.

Overthebow · 14/07/2022 18:32

It’s not been that hot today in the south east, around 26. I’ve just been in the garden in the shade watching dd play. It’s next week I’m more worried about.

toooldtocarewhoknows · 14/07/2022 18:37

I tried to hang wall paper but it was so hot I stripped to my knickers. Then realised I'd taken down the curtains but only after I'd hung a roll of wallpaper.
I hope I wasn't spotted.

Had to stop after that, just too hot even in just my knickers.

TheCanyon · 14/07/2022 18:40

I'm still wearing my cosy jammies. It's really not very warm here, I'm gutted.

takeitandleaveit · 14/07/2022 18:42

Ive been out in public in shorts

😂

Newestname002 · 14/07/2022 19:31

I'm making room in my freezer so that I can put a couple of (hot) water bottles in there, a third/half full of cold water so I can pack those round me - wrapped in towels- so I can sleep properly when the weather is hottest in the next few days. 🌹
