Just wonder how you're all coping in this extreme heat we have been having the last few days.

I am not from UK, but I am from Europe and also in the middle of the heat wave and I love, love, love it.

Of course, it's not a good idea to go out in a shaitel and nylon tights around noon in the middle of the sun. This is a season where a tichel or a large rimmed hat serves you much better than a shaitel, and flowing long cotton skirts with socks are preferable to pencil skirts with tights.

A teacher of mine used to say: there is no bad weather, there is just inappropriate clothing.

What makes you love, love, love the heat wave?

Do you prefer extreme heat over regular heat? Is that your body's preferred temp?

If I would be sitting doing nothing all day poolside lol it would be enjoyable. But I still have to go to work, run errands, shop etc. So its not so easy and just a bit too hot - on the plus side its not raining! But a little lower temp would be nice!

No air con, thermal insulation and carpet does not make a heat wave easy to bear!!

I just like heat, rather than cold, sun rather than rain...

So I can't say I prefer extreme heat to heat, but I definitely prefer heat or extreme heat to cold, and specially to rain...

Sunny Sunny Sunny Sunny

but you really might want to try taking off your shaitel, if you are wearing one, and flowing, thin cotton clothes (no! synthetics!!! they are the worst when it's hot)
