we are doing ok, i have the airconditioning running all the time. as its evaporative it struggles on above 40c weather. and if it gets at all humid it just becomes very very sweaty. so far its been pretty good, when outside is 43c inside is about 33c a drop of 10 degrees.

foo sleeps all the time, there is plenty of cool water to drink. i take him outside a couple of times a day so he can have a pee and we get up before sunrise for his morning walk and wait till the sun sets for the nightly.

rosie actually seems to like laying in the hottest places during the day, she'll get in a window between the curtains and window! she comes out every so often and flops on the floor but once she cools down returns to the window!

i put fresh water in the canary cage every day, on these hot days he jumps straight in the water and has a bath, flinging water everywhere.

we have been very lucky as we have not had our power cut off, i feel for those who have lost theirs. its not good enough in 2017 for anyone to be cut off because there isnt enough to go around. so i'm crossing everything we do noy join the cut offs whilst this heatwave continues.

most of the time having a privatised elecricity system is fine, its during heatwaves we discover its pitfalls.
