HOT.

[renaeden]

That's an uncomfortable temperature. How do you keep cool at home?

15.4°C and cloudy at 11:40am. I'm taking a risk by doing some washing. There's no rain near me on the radar.

I have a system of using air conditioning as seldom as possible. When it is sweltering outside, I set the temp around 71 degrees F (21.7 C) during the day (so my dog doesn't get too hot mainly- when I'm not home I had to lock her in my bedroom upstairs, otherwise she gets busy and into stuff. i always worry about the room's temp). By the afternoon I turn the A/C off and turn on a fan for the evening. In my mind it helps keep the a/c from overworking and hopefully saves energy.

When outside (which is really humid because of the river valley and temperate rain forest climate), I tend to tune the heat out (I pretend I live in the tropics or something and it psychs me out of caring about the oven-like heat).

I also drink lots of water and each lots of fruit.

Still 30°C at 7:30 pm.

Tomorrow afternoon the wind will turn they say. Making temperatures drop nicely to the lower twenties.

What a great idea! What kinds of icecreams have you had on this occasion?

Perhaps I ought to do something similar... Icecream is a great joy.

If we have enough money it's something pricey like Ben and Jerry's.  She prefers something with a crunch mixed in while I like smoother, more exotic flavours.  If money is tight we buy a half gallon of store brand ice cream (less than the cost of one pint of B&J), usually chocolate or neapolitan (strawberry, chocolate and vanilla in 3 large blocks).  Then I put chocolate syrup, cut up banana and jam on it.  She takes hers with only the syrup.

Sounds good! I've never thought of adding jam to mine... 

If you guys ever show up in my neck of the woods, I can treat you to THE BEST icecream I have ever had. omggggg Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. 

They make this brownie sundae like so:
Two BIG scoops of your choice of homemade icecream
-topped with partially broken brownie
-topped with hot fudge
-topped with tons of whipped cream
-topped with melted caramel

First light frost of the year.

A light layer of ice on the roof of my wife's car. By 7:30 am it had started to soften up, just enough for me to make a snowball and threaten to throw it at her inside the house.

I chose not to as she was folding the washing and I would have been in big trouble.
