She’s back – hotter than ever! 0
Well, it’s certainly been a long time since I dusted down WordPress and actually blogged something. Several WP revisions, actually – I’m loving the new admin area!
This highly gorgeous theme is FREEmium, courtesy of FreebiesDock.com. It won’t stay looking like this forever… I have plans to customise it, as soon as I can find my designer hat. For now, the default look is more than pretty enough to hang around for a while.

Everyone in the UK is now aware that there is a heatwave going on. Ubiquity tells me that it is 25 degrees C where I am right now, but no thanks to the humidity, it feels much hotter.
Here’s a few tips I’ve gathered from a few places which are supposed to help us all bear this meltying (typo, but I like it!) heat:
- Stay indoors, especially during the hottest parts of the day (11am to 3pm). Especially my fellow asthmatics (damned humidity that comes with British heat).
- If you must go out, wear sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat.
- Drink lots of water.
- Close the shades on your south- and west-facing windows.
- Find the coolest room in your house. Chill out in there. (A good excuse to move the furniture around if I ever saw one!)
- We’re not like the Americans. We never cottoned on to air conditioning in our homes. To replicate some of the effect, put a fan in the window. Have it facing outwards during the day to blow hot air outside, and turn it around at night to blow cool evening air through the room.
I probably need to track down some advice out there for people who feel sick when they eat during this kind of weather… I’m getting tired of living on lettuce- and watermelon-type foods.
Stay sun-safe, folks!
