I am struggling with the heat and lack of sleep due to the heat. I'm glad I don't have a hamster at the moment - at least I only have to keep me cool.

It is a worry but I wouldn’t want to miss him

It’s been way too hot in my house I had bought reflective blinds which I’m sure do keep it cooler…but cooler definitely doesn’t mean cool! It was 27 degrees in my lounge last night I bought a sofa bed so I could sleep comfortably when it’s hot which has been helpful. Last night however I woke up at 3 am absolutely overheating and had to sit on the kitchen floor with the back door wide open trying to cool down I’ve legged it to my mum and dad’s now as they have air con. I’m going to sleep in the lounge so I can have air con on all night My asthma has been really affected too by the heat…I play harmonica for lung health which is really helping tho!

Sorry to hear. I think housing is going to have a rethink, which is worrying. External shelter such as awnings and shutters might help. With my windows, the curtains reflect heat into the double glazing inside panel and it heats up and then heats the room I read that uneven hot and cooler areas can cause a window panel to warp. It's great that your folks can give you sanctuary The harmonica is a great little instrument. I hope your asthma gets better soon

I was wondering if it had affected your asthma too . Actually when I was a child my parents were told to encourage the recorder for the same reasons …, I can still play it by ear

Made some ice lollies….

Yummy I've played the recorder off and on, also a great little instrument

Too hot and stuffy to sleep in our bedroom tonight - it’s airless - so I will be sleeping downstairs with the back door open too! It was supposed to get cooler tomorrow but I suppose it’s cumulative.

 

[Yorkie]

I am always downstairs in this weather,upstairs is awful. Robin just snagged some cucumber and scuttled back to her burrow.

 

[Maz]

It’s not going to be comfortable!

So the downside to thick stone walls is they gradually heat up and then it’s like a storage heater …. Although it’s less hot outside today the house is still like an oven. Helps slightly with all doors and windows open. Higgins sat staring at me through his cage last night as I slept in the living room. Poor thing had lights on a bit late.

He's never seen you sleeping before

Yesterday it was over 41 degrees in parts of Germany. There have been power cuts in various towns and now they are warning about water shortages
It’s 38 degrees outside today. The door handle of one of my balcony doors has meldet off

 

[Maz]

I'm so sorry, that sounds awful. I did see a "heat" map of the continent and it does look a bit worse than the Uk. I don't think I'd survive that without air conditioning! Does air conditioning actually give you fresh air to breathe though?

I hope so, the ones I ordered today purify the air and the humidity

Maz do you think i should lift the lid of his house and check on Nibbles

I’m guessing he’ll be asleep - can you see him through the side of the enclosure? Did he seem ok last night.

 

[Amy]

No and I have heard nothing all day

Have a little peep. Male Syrians usually go straight back to sleep

 

[Amy]

Okay I will do
