Today, I’d like to heartily endorse: Having A Cold Bath.

That is all.

Oo I say!

I actually can’t, I cringe too much. Somehow a bath is easier.

I've started wrapping a small wet towel around my neck. Makes a massive difference. I saw lots of people in Tokyo doing it some years ago and now I know why! More convenient on the school run then a bath.

Yes they do don’t they? And they have water bottles on shoulder straps, which seems sensible. Someone should make those here.

Wish my cat would let me give him a cold shower. You can’t help them though can you

I’ve only bathed a cat once and it was because he somehow got covered in poo.

Never again. Still have the scars.

Even better. Freeze you bottle of water and drink it as it melts..
