I'm having overnight oats for breakfast...

Oats
Chocolate protein powder
Cacao powder
Chai seeds
5g creatine
Peanut butter
Almond milk

Ive mixed it altogether and put it in the fridge ready for morning. I've also put a  drinks bottle in the freezer overnight (plus I'll take a flask of tea and another drinks bottle with me),sandwiches,yoghurt,apple and protein bar.

I'll probably wear a cap tomorrow as well as sunglasses and suncream,shorts,thin polo shirt(gym fabric),trainers instead of boots.

Air con on to and from jobs and lunchtime.lovely!

I'll probably work 9am -3pm(ish)...that's a normal day for me.

Have a great day chaps and try and enjoy the weather!🙂

I’m not working Monday as the van is in for work, but i would have otherwise, I don’t really feel the heat too much, I kind of get into work mode and just push on.

One thing is for sure, I always miss the heat and sun when it’s gone, so best to make the most of it and enjoy it!

Start early and finish early is the order of the day if the temperature gets into the mid 30s in the afternoon.

Plenty of water/fluids,suncream,hat,some fruit and crack on.

He loves it!any excuse to have another day off and go to the bookies(after a few pints in the pub).... ;D
I don't need excuses to do that, Daz.
Price higher and drink harder, mate.
And going to the bookies is so like yesterday, man. It's all online these days.
Saying that, a lot of bookies have air conditioning  these days.

Tarmac in this country starts to melt at much lower temperatures that foreign countries due to the fact that we don’t generally get it that hot but I think times will change and they will alter the mixture to raise the melting point but obviously that costs more 😂😂😂 as for buildings they shouldn’t be affected as tolerances are built in for temperature like expansion joints etc especially on bridges . Rail lines there was a bit in the news about problems due   to heat  but again there shouldn’t be if constructed correctly countries far hotter than us don’t have issues, always makes me laugh when we get an inch of snow everything comes to a grinding halt , we as a country are a laughing stock in Europe ,Scandinavia, and Canada that carry on with feet of the stuff .

If a fan is a manual reel, air con  is like getting an electric one.

You think oh I'll manage then when you get one it's like why didn't I do this years ago.

Same as in the van, driving with the windows down works to an extent but it's not a patch on sitting down eating your lunch with air con on full blast.

One of the best things I've ever bought.

Only the unfit and overweight need aircon daz.  ;)

Of course the dyson doesn’t cool the air, that’s not what a fan is designed to do. It is designed to move air over your skin, thus cooling you down.

Hence a nice breeze on a hot day keeps you much cooler than a still day.

Never struggle to sleep when we’ve got the fan on.

The trouble I find with aircon is that it dries your throat out. My Mrs has astma and it tends to make her a bit more wheezy than usual. It's still better than not having any when staying in a hot country, but the fan seems to be the way to go for us,especially as the Dyson claims to be so quiet which most air con I've experienced isn't.

I find fans dont do anything when its anything over slightly hot. Certainly when its 25 degrees plus they do naff all. Ive got my fan on right now, its doing its job but its only about 18 degrees just humid.

As for being an unnecessary luxury i disagree, if it improves your comfort and helps you sleep what can be more important than than that.  We have it in work vans to make the hot days more bearable its the same thing.

But who cares, let people roll around in bed sweating their nuts off with a fan blowing hot air on them if it makes them happy.

Jokes aside, air con is lovely mate.

We honestly don’t sleep badly in the heat with the dyson on, it keeps us cool.

I’m suprised your hot now though mate? Its pretty cool now. Do you think you need to check with the doc if your hormones are ok?

Yeah air con can defo irritate the throat, I find that on holiday sometimes, you go to bed with it on and then wake up with a dry throat!

Dyson is worth it mate, it’s a really nice air flow, it doesn’t buffet the air, it’s just a nice stream of constant air, we have it on quite low, but it can blow a gale on the highest setting!

Tell me about your house air con. I have an old portable unit which I bought when I was self employed selling stuff from home.

It is sitting on the middle landing vented out of a small window and blowing cold air into the main bedroom.

But I'm interested to hear about more permanent and effective options.

I started taking the dog for a walk round Tesco so I could get the benefit of AC. Obviously I had to pretend to be blind and someone stopped when I was looking at the salt content of Walker's Bugles and said "you're not blind and that's not a guide dog".

Did one job yesterday afternoon for 90 minutes at 38c and left the last job until 7:30pm when it was still around 26c but much nicer.

Popped down the beach after that with my son to watch the Moon rise.
