I know I should not moan but I am .... its too hot for me just cut the grass I now I have a burnt back ( totally my own fault) should have slapped on the sun cream:

We are just not used to hot weather are we ? I am now trying to find the fan's from last year:

anyone got any tips for keeping cool at night ;)
 
Thank God I'm not the only one moaning - I really don't like this weather, it's way too light and too hot to sleep at night not to mention too noisy with the windows open. This weather sends the cat more loopy than he usually is - all that and no football - bring on autumn :)
 
Think yourselves lucky... I am on nights and have to try to sleep during the day in this heat:)

I love the warm weather though and feel like I have more energy when it's warm. I'm sure that I wasn't meant to live in this country and would be far more suited to sunnier climes.:D
 
If I can cool my feet the rest of me is happy. I have a little water spray to spray my ankles and a fan direct at my feet at night. Hot feet keep me awake and hot feet make me feel tired.
 
I dont want to appear smug - but the air conditioner I bought cheap in January works fine (I am smug really :) )
 
To keep cool at night......wear cotton nightwear...have a tepid shower before turning in for the night.......fill a 2 litre drink bottle and put into the fridge, take this to bed and pop your feet on it during the night......if you can cool your feet the rest of you usually will stay cool.
Those are my tips for keeping cool......oh, I also take a moist face cloth with me to bed and moisten my limbs...this mimics perspiring and keeps you cool.

For those of you disturbed by the light......a blackout blind does the trick...or the cheap version is to wear the nightmasks that they give you on laong haul flights.
 
I love the warm weather, thouigh I guess I'm lucky, as I was able to cool off this afternoon, by swimming half a mile in my Mum's pool.:)

It's going to go cooler on Wednesday.:(
 
Its nearly 01:00 am here and its 31d outside, 24 inside with air con on full blast. Should hit 37/38 by mid morning. (I wish it would snow).
 
Way to warm and sticky for me so I am hiding indoors away from it. Rather have the winter temps any day. :(

Then ask her to turn up the pool water temp then :rolleyes:
 
I'm enjoying the heat at the moment. It's the one time that the basement office comes into its own - it's always cool.

I love light nights, I wake up nice and early feeling refreshed.
