Hate summer

I just love the summer!! Long summer days, being able to sit or potter in the garden, no need for central heating. Last year’s heatwave was a struggle to cope with but generally I feel so much better in warm, sunny weather. I do of course have every sympathy for all those who don’t enjoy it.

I tried curtains, the sun still sneaked around the edges a tiny bit, maybe a blind would be better, do they fit flush against the window? Thanks.

I like the idea of a sunny day, but it just drains me

I have blackout lined curtains and a blind....!

May i join in 😁 the few hottest days last summer were unbearable during the day but the nights were horrendous, i prayed for even just one degree drop and a tiny cool breeze for nights, 😴

I think I’m Wyllow’s twin.

About 25 suits me, I too put a mask on about 5/5:30 am, then back to sleep, I enjoy the light evenings too.
We have storms forecast at the weekend, I hope so as I love them and the garden needs the rain.

I lined the bedroom curtains with blackout material.

However, I need ear defenders. The birds start their dawn chorus abou 5.00 - 5.30 am now

Why not get blackout curtain linings or blinds? You can shut out all the daylight perfectly easily

The hotter and more humid the better. There is nothing so fabulous as getting off a plane in Mumbai at 3am and feeling the blast of tropical heat

Singapore - like walking into a sauna 😁
Having a shower but never feeling completely dry!

We must buy some 'easy food' for the weekend, it will be too hot to cook.

I don't like too much heat, nor too much cold. Around 22C- 24C with a good shower each night would be perfect.

I'm feeling quite tired too, Biscuitmuncher, meant to take an iron tablet before dinner but I forgot.
Have you had your iron levels checked?

I have barely slept. Being an owl, I get to sleep (fitful) only by midnight and then the sunshine wakes me about 5 a.m. I don’t know when I last had a really deep sleep….

I have never been a sun worshipper but I loathe the cold my arthritis is at its worse in the damp long winter time. I keep mainly in the shade while nipping in and out of the house. I love the garden in summertime I put a lot of effort into it so I like to see the results.

Have barely seen much sunshine yet. We go out in the morning when it's still grey and cloudy and if we're lucky there is some sunshine in the afternoon, but with the NE wind it's still not that warm. I like the warm weather, and long light days. Still waiting for the heatwave I keep reading about.

I love summer, love feeling the sun on my body and the long days.

I'm so glad to hear it's not just me feeling sleepy. I truly hate the hot weather. It's nice that the trees are lovely and green and the flowers are out but hot summer days? No thanks!

I’ve been ok so far but not designed for hot weather. If we go on holiday to warmer climates I find some shade and venture out as little as possible.

I like it sunny and between 16 and 23 degrees roughly with a gentle breeze and occasional rain to keep the plants watered. I don't ask for much then...!

Be nice to get some summer seemed to have been under cloud and chilly most days. A bit warmer today and some sun at last.
I love the spring and summer with the glorious early morning light and the dawn chorus.
Autumn is not too bad but winter is grim and goes on forever.
If we were not so busy with work would have headed for the south coast.
Just 3 weeks to wait for our holiday in Jersey hopefully the weather will be good.

Totally love the summer. The hotter the better. But I suspect that I’m really a lizard. I love every ray I can catch and am happy luxuriating in the warmth of the sun on my bones. I can happily snooze in the sun In the winter I head off to the far east for weeks at a time. The hotter and more humid the better. There is nothing so fabulous as getting off a plane in Mumbai at 3am and feeling the blast of tropical heat.
I love being able to go for a walk without having to layer up jumpers, jackets hats and gloves as well as heavy duty walking boots. Shorts and a T shirt and walking sandals. Bliss.

Oh for goodness sake!
We are not experiencing sub Saharan temperatures, tropical monsoons, hurricanes, drought or Biblical floods.
It’s only weather, and May I remind you it’s only a week since we all complained about the cold north easterly winds
I am sorry you feel so poorly OP, I think you should see your doctor but let’s not wish our Summer, such as it is, away.
What is it with Brits complaining about the weather?

Just love this current warm weather and the bodily freedom/content it affords me. After all we have at least nine months of middling cool to very cold

LOve summer. Particularly the lovely long daylight. I have to get up to use the koo several times a night, on myvisit around 5ish when I return to bed I put on a eye mask so that the early light does not disturb me Would hate blackout curtains.

I am sitting here at nearly half past seven just in my short sleeved cotton nightie, and with my patio door wide open. No artificial lights, no heating, it is brilliant.

Okay I agree that when we have those very heavy, very high heat days, it can be debilitating, but my sympathy then is for those who ahve to go to work. Me, I can just sit down and relax and doze whenever I want to.

THis time of the year, I can sit and look at flowers, birds, trees for many hours each day if I want. I dread the winter - have alway said that normal stresses that I can cope with during the summer months, become so far worse during those cold dark months.

Having recently had a lot of very cool, grey days with very little sun here in the NE, I’m hoping to cast off my jumper at the weekend - so bring it on!
Love the long days and light evenings too.

I am with you Caramme, can't imagine anything worse than being stuck on the beach on a very hot day!!
Always looking for the shade .
