The HEAT...in UK

I've been indoors all day! Apart from walking the dog very early this morning. The doors and windows are closed, I never have them closed normally, but in this heat I think its helpful.
I'm just about coping by drinking a large glass of very cold dry white wine, with an icepack on the back of my neck! I wonder why some of us become so intolerant to heat as we get older? I'm waiting for the sun to go down before I embark on another dog walk! Oh and I've showered twice already today, with another one before bed probably. Bed......not looking forward to that one bit!

Me too. I had a walk early this morning but it was too hot for walking even then. Stayed inside since then.

best thing to do.
take sips to drink throughout.
easy to neglect and then have headache etc.
