Radio 1 were giving tips yesturday on 'how to cope in the hot weather', and someone sent them a text saying, 'Move to Scotland, it's bloody freezing up here'.

It was a Jock who sent the text mind, before anyone starts accusing me of being racialist; again!

As the the heat, we finished at 2.00 pm yesturday; hot and sweaty!  Then we finished at 1.00 pm today; heavy shower.

It looks okay now, but I'm to lazy to go back out to work!

Watch it!!!!! I'm scotish

I don't know why people seem to think it's freezing up here in scotland.

That is so not true. We have many days up here where the temp is +30.

We have true fresh heat up here Your heat down there is made up from millions of swetty people and FUMES.

You guys! 

Wish I could work outdoors in this weather.  I work in a very hot kitchen all day.

I dont want to know what temperature it is inside.......but its exactly the same feeling when you open the oven door .....type of heat.

In this weather, I have to have a little nap when I come home.....it exhausts me.
(OK...and I'm OLD)!

Can you not sprinkle pure water on yourselves with your big poles, to cool down??

Whew.....muggy isnt it?     Must be horrid for some professions.

the storm did the world of good here

[busydaffodil]

we've had a little drizzle here too tonight.   South Wales.
Quite pleasant compared to last night but still a little muggy.

Working in a kitchen tomorrow.....WHEW!  Not looking forward to it at all.
At least I get to verbally abuse the customers for free!

It's clouded over for the first time since the hot spell begun and the humidity has gone through the roof.

I love the heat but the last 3 days I've been struggling a bit. One place we did today was mirrored glass, 28 large paines of it, and I've never experienced heat in this country like it. I think today I drunk about 4 ltr's of water.

I can't wait for the thunder storms. They should be something else.
