    What heat? it's only 27C. That's just " nice and warm" 
    I've been delivering to our lovely customers and I've had a shirt and tie and apron on ( and trousers and shoes ) I switch the air con off in the van, and even switched it off in the dining room at work and opened a window.

    Either the heat reduces my tolerance level or idiots are solar powered... 
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Growing up as a country girl.. fields on three sides and a tall hedge along the front, on a rural road.. I've generally made it a policy of not knowing next door neighbors beyond a polite 'hello' over the fence or hedge of the various suburban places we've lived.  I usually make good friends with a neighbor further down the road, trading childcare or pet duties as needed.  None of our current next door neighbors seem to spend much time out of doors.. so I suppose it doesn't really matter.

    Apart from my OH, I don’t know anybody!   I live in complete isolation.
    i sometimes go to my daughters and will pop up to see Hostafan for a cuppa.

    My husband was fond of quoting "When God made man she was only practising" so that would be a cruel joke Flinster. He also used to refer to my power surges  ;)

    My husband has hay fever and keeps closing the bedroom window... I’m like some raging nutter when I go to bed and start opening everything and then he starts sneezing, or snoring so I complain some more lol!
