Surviving The Heatwave

Oh boy it's been hot again today and we're only at the beginning of our second heatwave of the Summer.  The temperature is forecast to be in the mid 30's from tomorrow and over the next 4 days, and we are getting close to a hosepipe ban, not that we use one for watering anyway, we use a watering can.  But, in order to save water anyway, we bought a bucket from B & Q for just £1 so that we can save water from handwashing, running the water before the hot comes through for washing up, washing faces etc  This gets cooled and poured onto plants in the garden because we have spent a fair bit of money on them and need to keep them alive. 

Even as I type this though I can hear our next door neighbour filling her hot tub in the garden 😏

The bungalow seems to hold the heat.  This shows the temperature at 11am this morning (yes, I know the time has been set to 11pm instead of 11am but I can't be bothered to change it right now 😂 )

It will be good to retain heat in the Winter but Summer.... not so good.

Well, the boiler man turned up on time, bless him, and serviced the boiler without hassle.  The guttering man was a 'no show' and we've heard nothing whatsoever from him 😡  But the eBay buyer also turned up on time and paid me £100 cash for the 2 Duvalay sleeping bags.  We were both pleased with the transaction.  I guess 2 out of 3 is not bad 😁 and we now have money for our Granddaughter's birthday gift and a bit over which will go towards heating bills this Winter 👍

Thanks for popping in and stay safe x
