What are you doing to keep cool today?

[Rowena191]

I did my housework early and now I'm planning to sit in the garden with an iced glass of squash. Later I'm going swimming. Best wishes to everyone working today...

I fucked work on the head, working from home so no-one will know.

I'm pottering around my house with the blinds shut, windows open on the shady side. Lots of cold drinks and ice cream for every meal.

I was meant to go weight-lifting at lunchtime but I sacked that off too.

I’m WFH but not especially warm tbh.
I’ve kept my windows shut but the shutters open as the sun isn’t facing me yet.
Just had one drink of water so far.

Did my housework - cleaning, changing bed etc - yesterday
Dog wall all done before 8:30am
Then did the ironing - before it got too hot
Cool shower
Curtains shut all day today in our bedroom
Wesrinh a sundress with no bra to float around at home
Not going to sit in the garden - too hot - going to stay ‘in the shade’ indoors

Sitting in front of my new Shark fan. It is lovely. I have all the windows and curtains closed and they will stay shut until at least 9pm when hopefully it is cooler outside and I get a bit of a breeze coming in.

When I do the school run later (20 min walk either way) I will bring my parasol/umbrella as there is zero shade and also wear a neck fan which does a decent job.

My sympathy to anyone working today. I was working yesterday moving tables around after a indoor market so I am now enjoying not doing that today!

Going swimming.
Lots of ice lollies and coconut water.

Sitting in front of a fan in nature's own, with a cold flannel and iced water. Watching Supernatural. May lick a salad leaf for lunch. Windows open, blinds/curtains closed. Trying not to think impure thoughts about Dean Winchester, so I don't overheat!
It's 34°c where I am. I walked the very hairy dog at 6.30am. I might got for a dip in the sea tonight around 8. Or I might just melt. Have a cold shower instead.

It's not that hot where I am (south) and it's overcast at the moment. About 30.

Dogs out at 4.45am. Did a workout early too.

All windows and blinds shut at 8am and open them again at 9pm.

Off to Italy next month and it's 35 every day and I can't wait.

Apparently its 22 degrees here in the frozen north. It's overcast and I'm in the office with my Big Cardi (capitalised as it's a proper noun 😂) on

I had a lovely morning walking around air conditioned Morrisons, the freezer aisle was delightful 🤣. I got a drive thru iced latte on my way home.

But then I made a terrible error and just did half an hour of gardening. Now I'm a sweaty, muddy mess so am having a bottle of coconut water and a bowl of frozen grapes for my lunch.

I'm refusing to cook for a couple of days so have bought bread rolls, sandwich filler, quiche, salad and stuff for a ploughmans and we'll live off that until it cools down.

I'm not looking forward to the school run but refuse to drive it because it's only a 30 minute round trip on foot. I'll have a cold shower when I get home from that.

Opened all of the windows to let in as much cool air as possible early doors. Then closed all windows at 9am and shut all of the curtains on the south side of the house to block heat from the sun.

I’ve just been outside to hang laundry on my lunch break and it’s definitely warmer outside, even in the shade.

I washed my hair this morning and I'm currently sporting some pretty big hair as a result, so I'm going to make lemonade and start in on the 80s power ballads of my youth.

Living in Scotland.

Living in Scotland

Sensible.

Currently 34 weeks pregnant and after walking the dog at 7am, taking the kids to school and a midwife appointment I am currently wallowing in a cold bath and it's absolute bliss. Feeling guilty at not being productive but I can barely function in this heat

I'm at Alton Towers 😁😅

I live in Hong Kong. Get free AC at work and I have AC @ home, too.Low 30s here.

Haha yep! Rain forecast here later - really hoping it will help with the wildfires.

Having a cool bath then lying down for a nap hopefully

Living in Devon. I was in London at the weekend. Didn’t love the heat. It’s warm enough for an outdoor swim so I’m going after work.

We live in an old cob farmhouse. Nice thick cob walls. Nightmare to insure, but very effective for keeping cool. It’s a very comfortable temperature in here, no windows open. Kids will probably get in the river after school. I may join them.

Forgot to add Tesco's Sicilian Lemon Presse by the gallon. It's so refreshing.

Sitting in the garden under a parasol with a mint cornetto

It's not especially warm in the Midlands or at least not for my lizard self so I've been basking in it as much as possible.

According to my phone it's 29 degrees but I'm finding the walk to school quite pleasant. Maybe not so much after I've got the kids who were both on one this morning. Praying they will have cheered up...

Love this, total Supernatural fan and Dean is so gorgeous
