I like the sun and tan up well, but I'd still prefer it to be a lot cooler than it has been in London this past couple of weeks.
A couple of somewhat ghetto tips for cooling down if you don't have AC or loads of fans:
Submerge your wrists in cold water for about a minute, for whatever reason this works really well in cooling your overall body temperature, and it can be done pretty much anywhere in very little time. I've been using this method and it really works, from uncomfortably hot to feeling nicely cool in a couple of minutes.
Use a spray bottle to dampen closed curtains over open windows, any incoming breeze will be cooled by the water. I haven't resorted to that one yet, but it was used a lot throughout history in pre air conditioning days by all accounts.

That happens to me if I play football on the computer. ******** to actually running around and doing it myself.
Yeah. we all live within cycle distance of picturesque lakes and villages.
I live in Camden, there's plenty of picturesque greenery within cycling distance. Where the hell do you live?

Finished work and went to the beach. I can put up with the heat at night if it means we get a summer of gorgeous weather throughout the day.

I live on the south coast and we generally get the beaches to ourselves unlike the north coast which gets absolutely rammed with holiday makers. 30 minute walk or a few minutes in the car and I can be at a number of beacheslucky sod living by the sea. would live to go sea swimming ever afternoon.
