To the person who very recently commented saying they wish the sun could be sent to the UK, OK, please take it, but along with the sun, why not also take things like the wildfires and everything else that is going on or as a threat right now? I posted a thread a couple of days ago, and one things I had mentioned was that people who tolerate the sun on holiday, or in a completely different position than those of us who have to tolerate it without air-conditioning, every day, and go about our business. I live in Greece, on the fifth floor, with floor to ceiling windows, with no air-conditioning. My living room at 9 PM this evening was 39 Celsius. It’s hot, I’m sleeping on my kitchen floor next to the fan, not going out all day, try not to move as much as possible in the day, jumping in the bathtub to cool off, and etc. I am also visually impaired, yes, there are some centers in our area which have opened for people who have no air-conditioning at home and we really need to get in the cool air for at least a few hours a day, but they are not so easy for those of us who have mobility issues.
I have lived in other countries in the EU, including Italy, back in 2004 to 2006, when it was also rather hot, but I don’t remember heat like this. And it doesn’t cool down.
I came across the book on iBooks, because I’m listening to audiobooks to pass the time during the day, and there is something called the heat will kill you first, it might be an interesting and an eye-opening read.
