Just to compound the misery of runny nose and itchy eyes, I have a shower (have no bath) which malfunctions in hot weather
The water pipe which feeds my shower runs through the loft, and as the air in the loft heats up the shower gets fed hot water and shuts down.
I have re-set it, after locating the instructions how, but the effort of doing that has sapped what little energy I had to take a shower in the first place.
I sit here sweltering and smelling.
I can only open two of my four windows due to those sodding beech trees at the front. I have an air conditioning/cooling machine but to use it I need to put the air exhaust pipe through a front window.
I think the answer is to become a night owl - sleep during the day and awake all night, when it's cooler.
Oh dear - won't be possible - the empty flat below mine is to have its bathroom and kitchen refurbished (smashed to bits) starting tomorrow.
A thunderstorm and heavy rain would be wonderful.
