What is everyone up to today while keeping out of the heat?

What's everyone up to?

Very lucky I don't need to work. I got up early, so have done most of the essentials - hoovered downstairs, washing on and out, cooking a few things, so I can avoid having oven/hotplates on next few days and went on a short bike ride incorporating picking up a few essentials. I do need to clean the carpet due to a cat misdemeanor!

Optional things - clean laminate flooring, we both have a free drink at local pub to be used today, sort out savings accounts, mini workout with weights.

Ideally I'll keep out of the heat, so will indulge myself and finish my book, maybe watch Eastbourne tennis (tennis) fan.

Sitting in the garden in the shade with occasional trips to prune my roses, and showering the dogs every hour. We will go to the beach later on in the car, so they have a two minute walk into the sea. Northumberland

I work in DH’s business. Done some wfh this afternoon and going in to office shortly as it’s air con (well, a portable unit). Will get bus (I usually walk, but no way).
I’ve done my mini weight workout first thing
washing & hung out to dry
Will prob pop to Sains too near the office
DH will drive us home later
I’ll make dinner
Doesn’t actually feel as bad as predicted yet, had a mega thunderstorm last night which cooled it off a bit.

Working. We can't all sit on our bums watching tennis!

Most of us are entitled to a day or two off each week, as well as holidays. Sounds like it's off day off, so why shouldn't OP try and keep comfortable and enjoy some "me' time. She's already done some household jobs and exercise, so clearly not completely lazy!

I have a day off as I worked all weekend do you work 7 days a week?

Working. We got air conditioning in our home office last year so it’s lovely. We’ve got it in our bedroom too.

Cleaning my house before dd2 gets home and then I’ll chill by the pool for a couple of hrs before getting a takeaway and watching the game ⚽️

Counting the minutes until I can actually get outside and enjoy it.

Very resentful that I'm stuck in work and it's to be dull again by the time the weekend rolls around.
