Things not to do in a heatwave

Expect the Queens guard to wear bearskins - absolute nonsense.

Leave the freezer door ajar overnight.

That's what OH managed to do.
To be honest, it was three nights ago, so just before the official heatwave, but it was already very warm, and the results just as slushy.

Wear a bra.

DH has just brought some buttermilk for me to make scones!! Why didn't he just buy ready baked scones?

As I posted on another thread:

Cleaning up after a panicked pigeon found its way into the conservatory, leaving piles of feathers and poo behind, including on the cream fabric settee.
(Pigeon caught in a towel, recovered and flew off if anyone was worried about it)

Later:
Cleaning up flying ants and running ants in the kitchen (how on earth did they get in?)

Give him the recipe and show him the oven, MiniMoon!
I had buttermilk left from experimenting making butter the other day and thought scones would be lovely. But I didn't make any.

This makes me feel better about mine just being comatose!

Make Jam

Cycle up a steep hill as I saw a lycra clad man do just now.

Come down to breakfast to find the oven telling me to clean it!

If my oven spoke to me it would get its marching orders!

My kitchen waste is blocked so no cleaning today whether it is too hot or not (north Scotland ) - hopefully the plumber can sort it out later today.

Catch Covid.

Wear underwear

I'll start this off. Look after two grandsons aged 1 and 3. Now exhausted!!!

Two words.

Swimming pool. Took my DGS yesterday. We were in the cool water through the hottest part of the day. Painlessly.

Hands and knees floor wash, even if it was fairly early. That’s it for today now!

I'm not cooking if I can avoid it, I'm stacking up a pile of washing but I don't want to use too much water [good excuse!?] and I'm certainly not cleaning even though the place needs it - I ain't got no energy! I've just taken my car in for service and walking home [which isn't far at all] nearly wiped me out

Not take your dogs out in this blistering heat

It would be great to not have to wear a bra!

Feel a bit stupid now as have made bread...it is cool in my kitchen though

Get in a car that’s sat outside in full sun for two days without leaving time to cool it down first.

work in a fast paced environment

Not brave enough to take 2 very small people to a swimming pool on my own!! My did have the paddling pool though!

Have your boiler serviced, the engineer is here and the heating is on to test it!

And yet another What’s that? Seriously Abitbarmy your name suits you.

Put too much mustard on a mini pork pie at lunchtime. It felt as if tiny needles had shot up my nose into my sinuses. Moaning and weeping for ages.
