    We’re staying inside with the kids today. Got the curtains drawn in an attempt to keep the house cool. I always struggle mentally with not being outside and making the most of the sun but I’d just be a sweaty mess and don’t want the kids to burn!

    Investing in air conditioning was one of the better decisions of my past self.

      I’m starting to consider it. Do you have it installed to your house with a proper unit, or a portable one you can use in your room?

        I have four installed units, which have plenty of cooling power to keep the house nice and cool. On sunny summer days our solar panels produce excess electricity anyway, so cooling the house comes free.

    Appallingly. The old truck I spent most of the day in is basically all window, and now I am basically all crispy. 3/10, do not recommend

    Could be worse. Keeping the curtains shut all day protected me from the worst of it, and it’s cooling down now thank fuck

      £25 window heat shield. Sticks with water to the glass. Difference of night and day in terms if heat:

    Come on up to sweden. We’ve got rain, wind, maybe some occasional sunshine but don’t bet on it.

    I’ve just finished work and am sat in my lounge in front of a fan with the blinds drawn, chugging water and wishing it would cool down a little bit 😂

    Good day for laundry! Otherwise, staying sheltered indoors.

    We’re lucky enough to have aircon upstairs if things get too spicy, but just keeping the curtains drawn and the windows closed is working for now.

    Windows open from 6-8am. Then closed along with curtains since. Seems to have worked well today. Though I’ve just had to relocate downstairs until that hot, yellow bastard goes away.
