If you hadn't noticed its a bit warm this week:cool: But I know for those you up north, its probally cold and raining;)
So how you keeping cool? Luckly I was working nights this week so working at night was so much easier, but sleeping during the day was a different story.
Cold shower, going swiming and lying in the backyard with a beer seem a good idea.
So what ya going do?

On the bike i take my neck warmer off (my lips get really dry usually so i wear it all the time), and i unzip my jacket half way down, visor open a wee bit and the velcro on the bottom of my trousers is undone ^.^
At home i just sweat like a **** even with the balcony doors open and 5 windows, totally useless. Cold showers help and wetting my hair too :p
keeping my fluid levels up, resting loads and soaking my feet in cold water

We just turn the aircon unit on and set the temperature. It's lovely

+1, the server room here is holding its temp lubberly. It's just a little too noisy to be in there all day.
The downside of that is though I feel like I condensate up when I go outside. :smt028

You can guarentee not to get a ticket in this hot weather unless you are acting like a right knob, it's 'cos the traffic cars have really good air-con! That body armour is really hot! Having said that, our new uniform is a micro-fibre flece top, tagged as "Thermal" by the manufacturer. This was issued on the 1st June. Good timing eh?
At home? a huge B&Q fan and a spray bottle of water. Spray the water into the air stream and feel the cooling effect. That, or cold beer!

You can use baby bump to wear all Falcs clothes that you want now......because of course all of yours are too fitted and baby doesn't like being too hot!!!

Mother fookarooney, just went to tescos and took the long way around, it felt so nice, i had shorts on under my textiles and my thin hoodie under the jacket... brilliant. After 2 minutes around tesco however, the ride back was uncomfortable and now i'm sitting down, just as boiling hot as i was before i left.
FAIL WEATHER >: (

How brilliantly British to complain about the cold when it's cold then when it gets nice complain about it being too hot ;)

Spent early afternoon dying in my leathers riding to Bedford with my mate, stopped at a pub for a coke and had a change of heart and we all went out on the crossers in t shirts and shorts with the dogs in tow and let them swim in the river, later I went for a swim in the neighbour's pool with his wife and daughter and then went out for dinner with some mates ...ahhh aircon...not a bad day all in all.

I have had a tower fan on all day, scares the dog to death so he hides outside in the sun LOL
I just refuse to go to bed as I cant sleep, oven upstairs in my house :( only way to keep cool for me is to stay downstairs lol
For the past couple of days and for the next few days I deal with heat by waking up at about 8am, have breakfast then stay at the beach till about 6pm getting in and out the water for a swim:) ice cold beer bottles seem to never end as well:)

Well its all back to normal for summer hating people;)
Looks like a bit of rain and 20 ish or so in the next week. Well the only good thing is that it has saved me buying more kit for a while and being hot and bothred when I don't need it!
