What are you avoiding doing in this heat?

I like sunny days but the heat saps my energy.
I can’t do anything energetic for more than 20 minutes.
I have watered the plants but am not going outside until there is some shade. The housework will have to wait. I have no plans for today but will try to tick some admin jobs off my list.

I have to lift my dog onto the shady side of the road and avoid the hot pavement.. She refuses to wee in the garden and I worry about bladder infections! She has a quick wee and then home again. I feel as though I have to explain to every passer by that Im not a cruel dog owner1

I need to put washing out on the line.
I know I'll regret it if i don't.

I’ve done very little today. Went out early to buy some new line for my ancient strimmer, spent a ridiculous amount of time getting it to work and then thought “really can’t be bothered!” Did some laundry, made a big jug of iced tea and wrote half a poem which I probably won’t finish. Will shortly prepare a cottage cheese salad for tea and then when it has cooled down, water the garden.

I worked for half an hour in the school library then came home and hung out a washing. The rest of the day I have rested, did some Spanish and read. I have stayed out of the sun

Have been indoors all day avoiding the 33 deg heat and just looking forward to sunset and opening the back doors and giving everything a good water. I may have a Zero Guiness at the same time. Need to pop a couple in the fridge.

Don’t fare well in this weather would have preferred to do as little as possible but family descended, am now completely shattered, just had a nearly cold shower, London is really sizzling 🥵
And have tried everything to make the bedroom cooler, but is like a furnace.
DH sleeps downstairs due to disabilities and his bedroom is not bad, I slept on a bed topper in his room last night with no duvet just a sheet, will probs do the same tonight.
