so whats your message iza?

time to shift or viccies should move to tas? lol

If there needs to be a message in every thread...?

If anything posted helps a child who may have otherwise been left in a hot car or reminds others to be fire aware and drink plenty of fluid ....I think that'd be a pretty good and worthwhile message ...don't you think ?

Iza I love the hot weather...those 45 degree days where you can feel your eyeballs burning when you step outside lol. Nobody ever listens to my fabulous hot weather survival tips, possibly because they're worried about looking like the town nutter...but I don't care about such things ...

Here are my best tips!

Walk through the shower with your clothes on whenever you dry out

Wet a sarong and drape it over your head...it's like a personal air conditioner. I own sarongs specifically for this purpose 😄

Carry a squirt bottle and use it

Sleep with a wet washer,...or even wet sheets if it's really hot. The top sheet, not the bottom...and use water lol

Play with the birds under the sprinkler

Water the garden but mostly water yourself.

Throw ice cubes, water, a sprig of mint and a squirt of lemon into the blender

Keep your hair wet

On those really hot days, a small amount of water makes for a whole lot of cold...I know your water is limited there.

If you follow my loony tips, you'll enjoy the hot weather and look forward to it. Maybe lol

yesterday it was 47deg on our back deck according to the thermometer, OH says it is 45 today.

Just had some thunder and about 4 drops of rain.

once it hits 53, you're allowed a 10 minute break every 2 hours.

Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.

I heard on the radio today that record number of children had to be rescued out of hot cars in the past couple of days. Are people really so stupid?

I was quite OK during the heatwave last year, but i am finding this one difficult. Last night inside it was still over 30 degrees C at 2 pm and outside it felt even more. You know it is hot when the cat sleeps on the tiles in the bathroom 🙂

If the temp reached 53 degrees, I think I'd expire!

I love that wall of heat that hits you when you step outside.

A wet towel hung around your neck/shoulders is cooling, too.

Karen,

when I was little, my grandmother use to wet the top sheet, when the weather was hot in Adelaide, no airconditioners then, only fans.
