    On my way from East Midlands to work in London today, around Liverpool St, looking forward to the sights. I remember back in the day....Hot Pants and Mini Skirts.....think today will be enjoyable!!
    Liverpool Street is the best sight seeing spot in London. The city meets Essex meets Shoreditch. Something for everyone's tastes

    Saw a few yesterday...more today though as for dealing with the heat we are planning on going to the beach on Wednesday & Thursday and no doubt will end up in the Dolphin after.

    Top sight seeing advice.  Avoid Whitechapel.  I'm taking one for the team FFS!

    Finally gave in to Mrs SB and bought an air conditioning unit for our bedroom (which is an attic extension and suffers from extremes of temperature).  250 sovs and I was rather cynical but it’s been a godsend.  Big old thing and have to leave a velux window open so it can be vented but kept the temperature to a nice 18 degrees last night.

    yeah, we are up in the attic too and it was unbearable last night, like a sauna at the best of times and never have the heating on upstairs ever. two fans going full blast last night and still trouble sleeping. dogs were not happy either.

    Yep. We’ve got a hot doggie too. She sleeps on the tiles by the front door bless her. Thinking of letting her come up to the bedroom with the ac unit.  Having trouble persuading Mrs SB to sleep in the porch though! 😉

    French supermarkets ain't, all 3 local supermarkets (One a hypermarket) are either out of stock, or don't stock ice. Yes, we do make our own, but more thinking about the hundreds / thousands of campers and caravaners who visit the area this time of year. The shops don't even think to stick some soft drink in the chillers

    For those of you who haven't got an AC but got ice, get a as much ice in front of your fan, this will cool the air but melt quickly, so you lose some but not all the cooling effect, the melted water will then take over and you get some cooling.

    We stand frozen 2l bottles of water behind the fan. The cool air is sucked through and it works a treat for about 20 minutes

    Will work just as well, might be enough to get you off to sleep. My only feeling is when the ice melts into a container rather than a sealed bottle you continue to get evaporation, therefore you still get a certain amount of cooling, why is suggested in front of the fan (and this is a technical point) the fan generates heat so you are cooling that heat prior, placing the cooling behind the fan mean you’re using some of your cooling to cool the fan, thus reducing the cooling effect, to be fair on a little fan such as you would use I wouldn’t think it would make any noticeable difference.

    the one in Catsfield on the bend? Should get yourself up to Ashburnham Place one afternoon for a cream tea. Although a Christian retreat it's open to the public and the grounds are spectacular, on the North Trade Road travelling away from Battle.

    It’s duller than a dull day here. 
    I bought a bespoke wooden sun lounger this week. 
    Guarantee there will be no more sun in West Cork this year!
