Now we have a baby, and possibly moving in the near future so not currently for split aircon, we spend less than 200 quid on a portable air con unit. Cheap chinese brand, good reviews - what a game changer. Yes, not the quietest thing in the world, but we'll be sleeping much easier tonight!

It's much windier than I'd thought it would be considering its very warm (Not complaining).

I am! Normally hot weather means calm(er) winds. Bloody headwind on the ride home as usual.

Think the breeze is just here for today so it'll feel warmer as the weekend goes on.

'Tis the season for Americans in the UK to post videos on YT, whining about our rinky dink little homes not coming with AC.

Going to go somewhere on the cheap in the touran this weekend to the beach. I'll camp out in my tent and gf will stay in car with dog.

At home it's going to be super hot! Coast will be cooler.

Somewhere west Wales.
Play it safe as its first time with dog and might go to Rhossili bay. Or might go all way to Pembrokeshire

Extremely unpleasant at the moment. West facing room.

Perfect day, and a perfect evening. A few months of this would lift my mood considerably.

Sitting here in the shade at Sywell Country Park, the reservoir is about 7ft below where it should be

Car parked in the sun for a couple of hours showed 31C when I got into it!

It’s even warm on the coast at this time. Going to be a hot one. Managed to get out of work lunchtime. Just woke up from a beach nap

A bit worried about my reef aquarium, but for the first time it has a decent cooling system built in, so we’ll see how it goes.

Has it been packed down there?

Did you go for a swim and got out again?

If I'd been there all day I could have filled it up with sweat

Heaving, even toward the quieter ends. Going to be crazy over the weekend.
