I agree some ppl have a hard time of it at work. I passed by some construction work going on the other day with all they guys wearing full constriction gear and I felt sorry for them. In my distant past life I used to work in kitchens in London and on hot days I would leave the premises with damp trousers after 10 hours shifts. Horrible. Incidently I've never done that kind of sunshine holiday (by the pool or beech). Well once I did, really not my cup of tea. I like to be active and I can't imagine anything more of a waste of a holiday than lying on a beech towel in the sun.

Live in a micro climate. Surrounded on three sides by water. The remaining side by high mountains.

Some sun is nice but you can have that without all that clamminess the last few nights. That's disgusting. I prefer winter as you can have nice sunny days but there's a nice chill outside and it's very clear and the nights are fresh and great for astronomy.

I can't believe it. I figured the fan out but it's too late now. It might come in handy if we get another heatwave again soon.

The fan blowing out nothingness was a simple fix that any of you can do. Aerodynamics. That little silver or black screw on the front of the fan with a tiny nut behind it, take that off and the front part of the fan, then clean all of the edges of the fan-blades, don't use water, just use any towel-cloth then put it back together and you will have 100% air intake and extraction for your comfort. The edges of the blades get lint and dust accumulations after even 4 days, so to keep your fan 100% breeze flow, I recommend a clean of the blades once every 6/7 days. Trust me, this does the job.

Bingo. When I first arrive on holiday, until I get settled into my hotel room and find my bearings, I find myself very uncomfortable and drained.

I bought an industrial fan after two year’s ago humid, cloudy nightmare of a summer. It taunted me last summer. It was barely needed and was so loud. I really regretted buying it. Well, it has paid for itself this week. I didn’t have one sleepless night. I enjoyed the warmth and it kept the humidity at bay. Meanwhile it kept my husband nice and cool during his working from home.

I don't I head straight to the room. Dump my bag/s and lock the door go down to pool strip naked and jump into pool get out and stand there to dry off and see everyone staring at my micro penis.

I could sleep all the time but used to wake up soaking from sweat. Well not soaking but my pyjama bottom would be a bit damp. About half way through the week of good weather I decided to not wear the pyjama top. Great decision. Last night I decided to wear it again.

I’ve no issue with heat but fûck this humidity I just feel like I’m back in the South of France but without the views and holiday vibes.

Holy shite it's depressing out there. Feels like early October.

Ahh, that's a bit better. Cooler weather with a north-westerly breeze, beautiful, if it only stayed like this every summer. Looking forward to minus 20°C come winter, snow covering all of Ireland 6 feet deep while I'm in my tee-shirt shoveling the drive-way. Nice cool nights coming in september so it's looking very nice indeed.

It’s cold.

It’s like we’ve gone from scorching July to chilly March in less than 5 days...

Nice to be sleeping good again too.
