Beat the Heat

[si_c]

Took the long way back to the office from the other site. Only added about 4 miles on, but glorious glorious weather. Someone on the other site did comment that she was surprised to see me not wearing a jumper in the office. Even I have limits apparently.

I’m glad to see the heatwave has relegated Boris first PMQs down to 4th billing on the BBC Homepage

I did yesterday's ride in the evening when it was a bit cooler.

I slept with lots of doors and windows open last night and a damp flannel next to my bed so I could cool myself down every 20 minutes or so.

Too damn hot to do a proper ride today, so I just nipped out my singlespeed bike to Lidl for supplies before the sun got too high in the sky and am now sitting in shorts watching the Tour de France live. After finishing this brief scan of the forum I will get back to working on developing my puzzle game.

I might do a couple of hours on the bike earlyish tomorrow if the conditions are ok.

I'm hoping to get a 100 km ride in at the weekend when it should be cooler.

I've never liked 25+ C, especially if humidity is significant. For riding, I prefer 15-20 C; for sitting around, 20-25 C.

Apparently putting peas/ice pack under your armpits is a very good way to cool down

I'm laid out under the ceiling fan in only my Y fronts. The lady window cleaner got quite a surprise.

Has it been so long since she worked in hot weather that she didn't realise your blades still moved?

Been allowed to wear smart shorts to work

Back to the low 20's tomorrow.

Are you telling me a few days in the low 20's isn't a heatwave?

Please don't tell me it's going to get warmer.

I think the thing that really surprised her was me wearing the Y fronts on my head.

No change there then.

Do you mind. There are young girls like Welshie and Mo on here.

When you get up will you do the elephant walk?

That was because you took Vicksters advice and had a pack of frozen peas down your y fronts.

Hedging today which is hard, physical and I’m covered in cuts. Feels nice with all the sweat.

3.5l of water and I still feel Namaqualandish.
