I'm picking my tayberries 3 times a day atm. My fridge is full and I've had to have a freezer clearout(found stuff in the bottom with a date of 2024! Sadly had to throw out a well forgotten pack of lorne sausage and a pack of cheese crispy pancakes) to make some room. Also found a couple of ice lolly molds in the charity shop a while back, so have made mango and passion fruit smoothie ice lollys, and tayberry and honey ones, 6 of each.
Chatting to a younger friend about the heatwave, I mentioned cooling bedsheets, and he promptly ordered a set for himself , and a set for me there and then in the street from his phone. Some people are very kind, ...but he did have an alterior motive.... He wanted a set for his wife, and thanked me for being able to possibly get back in her good books. Apparently, the hot weather caused much grumpiness from his lady wife due to trying to cope with two fractious under fives in the heat, and had had little sleep. Poor chap!
Next thing is to try and get some sort of cheap cooling device.
My savings are rapidly dwindling with the extra electric and these items to try and help cope with the heat.
This scenario never entered my mind, so I'm set up for cold, rather than heat.
