Hoping it's going to be more like this, less a degree for wind chill.

some Brits. Others of us are still in cardies in mid summer, and then there's the whole gamut of eccentrics who express themselves chiefly through their choice of attire... e.g. this is supposedly 'cool'

My SIL is from Sussex & wears the skimpiest clothing ever in all sorts of weather conditions. I do not understand it.

Beatha is an Australian Aracauna. She is not a people hen so this is extremely unusual.

Prayers for them. I have learned to accept that kind of heat but many can't.

I have tried a few of the social media platforms now. I'm really not a fan. I have enough trouble with BYC.
Some of my family are very active and I've come under some pressure with the but it's so easy to get in touch with each other in case...
We managed, or not before. Or not, looks pretty good at the volume I've seen.
If something major happens it gets to ones door soon enough.

I used one when OD was in Chile as it was by far the quickest way to get in touch. Not good internet in most of the country. It kept her in touch when her Grandfather was dying as she couldn't get home. It drove me crazy & I have since ditched it.

I keep thinking about getting one of those basic type phones. I did need some of the smart phone features when I first got to the UK but about the only apps I use are bus and train info.

I keep thinking about stepping back to a simple mobile phone that only does sms and calls. It's so much easier to maintain data privacy on a proper computer.

Day off today. I shall try to go to the allotments a bit earlier than usual tomorrow, not that I can do much about the heat. As it mentions in the article, 25C to 28C (high seventies F) is normal hot weather here.
