[PotteringAboutIn]

Feels like it's been going on forever

Is every summer gonna start to be like this now, evause if so I'm gonna have to get aircon because I can't deal

Local splash pad?
Or if you have the facilities, cover as much of your garden as possible in a large gazebo with no sides, leaving a few feet gap between the gazebo and fence at each edge to catch a through-breeze. Then you can have a plain water paddling pool and a wheelbarrow filled up with fairy liquid bubbles in a bit of water and garden toys and live under there until it gets really hot in the late afternoon.

I agree with everything you say, about the planet just behaving as a planet does.

However, people just bluntly saying 'I'm loving it, get used to it' when they don't have health issues & just feel a bit warm, is lacking any empathy.

ive just heard about another elderly friend, the paramedics are on the way, because she's very ill with the heat. She's been doing all the right things.

its 32° in my room, the coolest room in the house. The sun is still around the other side. I'm contemplating trying to go somewhere with air con but not sure I can get there.

blind optimism is starting to feel impossible when faced with reality 🙇🏻‍♀️

Both & few more adjectives!!

This 🌷

I don't think it's bad in England? And I'm in South East - one of the hottest spots.

I was in Spain two weeks ago. Fuck me, now that was a heatwave there

I bet your not saying that now!
Im.not a million miles away in bolton its extremely warm now!

But they're different people so it's irrelevant to this thread.

having a positive mental attitude. That may work when it's just a bit warmif a bit cold. But it does fuck all when it's causing your body to shut down.

Well if that's what you were trying to say, 'get used to it' was incredibly 'clumsy' and every bit as enraging!

but I agree with what you've now said 🌷

Entirely fair comment.

Exactly Its the same here in the Sanctuary sweatbucket It Does Not Work And im sick of being told it does by people who just dont want ppl in the UK to get air con

Its 35 c here,im plucking up the courage to open the door and walk to the bus stop,needs must as i have to go to work😫

Im also in the SE and for me it is that bad, the fact its worse in Spain doesnt help!!
In fact, Im fed up hearing from people in hot countries telling me how its so much hotter there and they are managing fine. Good for you.....I dont care! Knowing you are hotter doesnt make me feel any cooler!! (promise Im not picking on you @MyFastZebra, your post just made me think of this!!LOL)😉

Im actually at the stage where Im irrationally angry with hot weather...like I want to punch it in the face! Me and the dog are hiding in my permanently muggy, warm home, spending too much time dozing and eating ice cream whilst I shout at the sun. I may have actually lost it by this point!!LOL😂

Yes but I'm talking facts. And facts are important.

In Spain I couldn't sit or walk outside at all without burning to a crisp. It was like sitting in an oven. It was uncomfortable to sit in the sun for more than two seconds in Spain

It is NOT THAT HOT in England. It is fine to walk and sit outside here

Have you been abroad this summer? Go to Spain or France and then you might stop complaining when you come home.

I'm enjoying how mild the weather is in England after how uncomfortably hot it is in Spain

I bet you'd jump on a thread and admonish someone for complaining that their foot had fallen off because other people don't have legs, you know.

I'm just laughing at the total drama queens complaining about the heat, and saying that everywhere should close down because of the heat.

It's not even that hot.

Mumsnet is just full of absolute cunts now. I’m done.

Went to Spain a fortnight ago, was hot there and I’m hot here.
There’s a fact for you.

It will end the second schools break up and then we will have incessant rain until September, when there will be a lovely Indian summer.

I wasn't asking you. But thanks for chiming in

Just get air con

no one in real life really cares

we have been talking about installing air con - or getting a portable unit or two

😂

It was always full of cunts

I think you were one of the ones she's referring to
