I can cope with the heat here as it's dry. Always muggy and humid in Belgium and Harrow so hard to deal with. We did give up on post planting in full sun yesterday when it got to 36C. Not comfy with salt dripping into my eyes form a sweaty forehead so we retreated to do jobs in the shade.
Hanging around on a beach all day is not my idea of fun tho I quite like winter walks with the dogs and wellies. Not good at sand in my pants of salt drying on my skin but Possum loved it when she was a tot and OH can cope too. Italian beaches are great for me - café/restaurant at the top for capuccinos when I arrive and lunch if I want it, boardwalk down the middle cos the sand is so hot, spaced parasols for shade so no crowding, deck chairs and sunbeds if wanted, cabins for gear and changing, shower at water's edge and near the cabins. Clean toilets and no need to carry all the gear every day.
I do still much prefer my capuccions and lunch out without all the sand and salt.

I think my neighbour is having some sort of mid-redneck crisis. He was sat out on his patio last night on a sun lounger having dragged out a huge flatscreen TV so he could watch the football. It wouldn't be so odd but he brought the parrot out with him. The parrot is an excellent mimic and does a great impression of my neighbour's rather shrill wife when she shouts at the kids and the dog. It makes me lurking in the bushes taking photos of bugs look a bit less odd anyway.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I couldn't believe those pictures of those people on that beach (or come to think of it, maybe l could). Porthmeor beach in Cornwall at 7pm tonight Now that's what l call social distancing.

Emmet is a pejorative nickname that some Cornish people use to refer to the non-Cornish. It originally referred to tourists who visit Cornwall but has also been used by native Cornish folk to refer to "incomers" or residents who have moved to the county but were not born there. Wikipedia

Last time I was on a beach, it looked like this
Just me and the local 'woolly' wildlife
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
