Still Hot.

Not a lot to say tonight. Feeling drained. I think the heat is getting to me. It's been about 6 weeks since it rained, and the temperatures have been around the 28-30c range for about a week. News and weather bulletins are full of talk about an official heatwave, and things to do to make sure you don't succumb to heatstroke.

We are not used to this in Britain.

I'll have more for you this time next week though. The schools break up for the summer this Friday. Next Wednesday little Barbara will be an apprentice carpenter's mate.

She's looking forward to it. The carpenter is looking forward to it. Two of the brickies (who've met her before) are looking forward to it. And one of the plumbers (who's not met her yet) is looking forward to it - and trying to work out if there's anything that's easy enough, and safe enough, in the plumbing area that she can have a go at.

Should be a good day.

Enjoy your updates. Goodnight and may your God/s go with you.

Just remember...cold showers are your friend. Also...don't dry off after that cold shower.

E's trick is to have fans running during the day. At night she sucks as much cool air in as she can. Does this in the morning too. Around noon we shut up most of the house and let the fans stir the trapped cool around around a bit.

Investing in a room sized portable AC is a great fix too.
