I was only a wee nipper then, aged 6 and I don't remember it. Than again, I can't remember what happened last week most of the time !

Well remember the summer '76..

I was 25 years old and decided to hitch-hike through Europe and work on a kibbutz in the Jordan Valley where the temperature was frequently 43/45 °c in the shade and I worked in fields..

Humidity is the missing part. In low humidity it is very different.

By the Sea of Galilee, where I lived and worked, in over 200m below sea level & very humid!

Last time Pete visited he brought three loaves and five fish, but somehow the rubbish filled 12 wheelies bins.

We've let the mini sheep out into the catio. Not gone well, not been far, and come back in. Flaked on the floor in the conservatory. They have been waiting all day to go out.

Mini sheep are the three ragdoll cats. The ginger ninja has said he'll sleep near the ac.

I remember the '76 summer well, was 15 at the time. Cross country run at school was great fun, part of it was along the Kennet.
Being in the group of stragglers, we all jumped in the canal for a cool dip and mud fights. When we eventually got back, the PE teacher went ape accusing us of all sorts, so we just said we were dripping wet from all the sweat. Don't thing he was fooled.
The thing about that summer was the hot dry period went on for such a long time, seemed it would never end.

You're on a par with us here

But the humidity is another story

I remember '76. Of course, I was a kid of single digit age and to me it meant unlimited outdoor play. We'd be out the house after breakfast, wouldn't go back until it was time for dinner. Wouldn't even have a drink in the intervening period. Oh to be young and dumb again.

Well, in your old age, you can still get dehydrated if nothing else, nobody will stop you! 😆

Nah, @Drago ’s smart watch will alert special operations group if he has not had a pee in the last 5 mins. A helicopter will be despatched and the lads will be crashing through his windows before he can get out of his rocking chair and shout “Holy Batman!”.

I just get on the phone to Hereford and use the secret codeword, "Y-fronts" and next thing I know theres an explosion and an 8 ma. Team abseils through the wall and hands be a cold bottle of San Pellegrino.
