Today will be the hottest so far, I am reliably informed.
It’s lunchtime, and the temperature is already 30 degrees, so God knows what it will be later.
I don’t do heat very well, never have, probably because when I was a child, I fell asleep in the garden on a very hot day and woke up with sunstroke. Not something I would recommend!
I tried braving it and ventured out of doors yesterday. I survived but felt really ill. I have no energy, and my brain struggles with even the simplest tasks.
I thought I could make headway with the editing if I stayed indoors and drank plenty of water. I have half of a newsletter awaiting completion too, but everything might have to wait until the heat takes a hike.
On the bright side, we are promised thunderstorms and rain on Monday, and I cannot wait.
Neither can all my plants! We have a hosepipe ban in place, so all I have for them is the water in our rain butt. I hope it lasts until Monday, as it would be a shame to watch them shrivel up and die after how well they have done.
As you can see, the plants are doing better than me,
so does anyone know a good rain dance that works!
