Some things from this heatwave that I noted, apart from living in the hottest area! We had a glass of cider over ice, sat in the shade yesterday afternoon. When I was half way down it, the glass above the liquid was really warm! Last night was awful for sleeping despite the house being much cooler than outside. The cotton sheets were warm to start with but I finally slept with a damp towel over me, then woke in the early hours to dampen it again.
It’s been a lot cooler outside today at 26c and mostly cloudy but the house is still too warm even with all doors and windows open. The inside walls are warm to the touch, as is everything in the cupboards. I took two wine glasses out to set the dinner table at six o clock tonight and they felt like they’d just come out of the dishwasher. It wouldn’t have normally mattered as we were having red wine, but even that had to be cooled as the bottle was warm. Everything is just hanging onto the heat!
