One day of hot weather and people are moaning. Bring it on.
It's too hot :(

Looks like a scorcher today! The air con is cranked up in the office this morning though, I'm actually a bit chilly!
I think a lunch time stroll along the river is in order today
I'm already salivating at the thought of going for a pint in the sun this evening

If it helps, my bro lives in Gibraltar and has two children (grown up now) but he recommended for my 3 year old (at the time) to give as cool as bath as you can get away with without it being too uncomfortable and then wrap in a cool blanket.
He said it keeps the pores closed so reduces sweat and you don't feel quite so hot - at least enough time for them to drop off (albeit you have feeds to contend with).
Good luck

I was going to be good this weekend - not going to happen.

Appreciate the advice. We're already second guessing everything we do with the little one right now and this weather has just exacerbated everything.

My office is roasting and surprise surprise the air con is having issues, got a desk fan but it's just taking the edge off, not actually cooling me down. Can't wait to get in bed with the Mrs tonight...

My little boys room was 28 last night and he was up till 4am due to the heat 
autism and heat dont mix, he's worked up due to the heat and wont sleep due to being hyper with no way to tell/get him to calm down. i felt for the poor sod!
We've got an aircon unit but far to loud to run while there in bed, but in this case its going to be the lesser of 2 evils!
Now glad to be sat in an office with AC to say the least

There's a breeze today so the office is actually quite nice currently.
But i know i'll be sitting in ball soup later when the sun comes round and blasts through the single glazing..

Loving this weather!! It was 18c when I left for work at 0830 this morning. First thing I did was put the roof down on the car. Long may this continue
Feel for you there, my little one is 15 months but last summer he hated this weather couldn't sleep, his room was super hot ended up with fans in it was only thing that helped him, even now he can be bad on a night if too hot! Like his mum that way i love the heat all the time her and him not so much
I agree it can be stuffy when in work atire. Suits and shirts etc, but you can't beat it. Just the look of the world changes when it's nice and warm as does my mood. It's well worth a little bit of uncomortableness for the benefits imo.
It needs to be about 24 constantly for me. I need to move.

I have to say I'm not looking forward to the tube later today - except for the lack of clothing that many of the female persuasion choose to abide by in this weather.

Well recommended room temp for a newborn is 16-20, 18 being optimal, it's currently 25 in all rooms
Need to get a fan methinks.
