I live on the ground floor and on hot nights I dab Vick or China oil (peppermint oil; tiger balm would also work) on my temples, neck or top of the head. The menthol is volatile and creates the sensation of cold. Not suitable for small children though as if it gets it in their eyes it stings.


A friend swears by soaking a small cloth in cold water and draping it over part of the body, but I find it a bit of a faff. Bowls of water close to the bed might help if you can get a breeze going, either a window or fan.

If the front of your house gets the sun during the day, close the blinds/curtains (I also hang big towels over the back of the closed shutters to prevent more heat building up) and open open windows at the back of the house (and vice-versa). Open the front windows once the sun sets. (I think I read that on here somewhere and tried it and it works.)

Thinking about it, perhaps you could put a sheet, pillow or whatever you plan to wear to bed in the freezer, or chill a hot water bottle, or put your feet on one of those cold packs you use for picnics. If it's hot tonight I might try one of those and see what happens.

FJD Goose, as for "This Heat" it is probably a lot of fun for the band playing that music, they might think they are great, as for listening to it, it's just a lot of head banging noise, couldn't hear what they were singin' ??? I could only stand 30 seconds. Probably targeted at a younger audience.


Lovely day today :-)

I think they had a lot of fun playing their music , nowt wrong with a bit of headbanging noise now and again. Wouldn't describe this ad that though.

Some people like the heat - look at the English cricket captain Alistair Cook who actually performs better.


Personally I'm unfazed and sleep under a duvet and wonder around with a jacket during the day.


The other ten months of the year I'm freezing and wearing three layers.


Consider yourselves lucky you only have two months of it.

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      By bonaome · Posted

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
