Ugh. This topic from Long and Short Reviews is definitely appropriate at the moment.
I live in the UK, so most houses don't have proper aircon like they do in the States, and we're simply not prepared for this sort of ridiculous weather. It's not too bad today admittedly, but I've been spending my days dressed as little as possible while I watch my two cats melt into the carpet. So how do we try to stay cool in this sort of weather?
I open all the windows and doors to try and get a draught through the house.
I drink as many cold, iced drinks as I can.
And, at night, we have a ChillMax box which we can put ice in to create a wave of cold air across the bed. It's not perfect, but it helps.
I also tend to avoid certain posts on social media, because whenever we have a heatwave in the UK certain people in hotter areas will go "Pfft! That's sweater weather for me!" That's nice, I'm roasting.
And while I'm here, I have a new book on pre-order.
When hairdresser Tatum Fox takes part in a séance at a
party, her only thought is of the attractive man sitting beside her, the
mysterious Zack, who appears in her dreams that night and who she hopes to see
again. However, when she begins to experience paranormal activity and finds
herself confronted by an unnerving client at work, she discovers that the
séance summoned a demon – and Zack may be the only person who can free her of
him.
Zack reveals himself to be an angel, and shows Tatum that she
also has the power to battle supernatural creatures – a power that is increased
through sex with him. Their connection soon strengthens, but is Tatum strong
enough to defeat the demon with Zack by her side – and can there be a future
with an angel, or is their passion doomed to end?

I hope you get some cooler weather soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, believe me, so do I!
DeleteGlad to hear you're doing all you can to stay cool,
ReplyDeleteIt feels like it's getting warmer earlier in the Uk. Creating a draft is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteIt's the best option I can come up with in this heat.
DeleteOh man, I hear you. I'm in southwestern Canada, and I live where that heat dome hit in 2021. I was on the edge of it, but man. Most homes here don't come standard with A/C either. We had luckily caved and gotten portable A/C units and that literally saved my life!
ReplyDeleteYes, our Chillmax unit has been a lifesaver.
DeleteOne must stay cool while writing those torrid titles!
ReplyDeleteThere is that!
