I went home in just my shorts and bikiki top (still wet!) with the roof and windows down going pretty fast... soooo lovely anf refreshing!!!

I'm sure your way sounds infinitely easier on the eye but I think you'll find that the ultimate way to cool down is to simply flick the air-conditioning switch.mrsmoody wrote:ahh poor you.

That ould be nice to be at the beach right now! Hannah, and Orla, you're so lucky!
We don't have great air conditioning at Tonbridge RM, so it can get very hot, particularly as the mail machines are on most of the time. Someone brought some ice creams round yesterday, which was very welcome! :D :D :D :D

I imagine in Egypt there is no humidity...it's the sultry damp air that really kills me. Yesterday was dry & hot, I found it lovely. Today it's just muggy & icky.100%rugbygirl wrote:40 degrees in egpyt but its slightly different when there is nothing else to do other than lie by the pool, swim in the pool or the sea, push italian guys in the pool, get attacked by italian kids, dance and play water polo!!
i miss it already

the problem with a fan in the office is that it just moves the hot humid air about, it doesn't cool things down. Apparently the Government advice is to wrap yourself in wet towels....
I can see that being very possible in a legal office when I'm handling old papers and typing a lot!
Bring on the thunderstorms, I'll be out at lunchtime doing a Native American rain dance!

Yeah, we're getting regular 37 or 38's here. Coupled with the humidity, thats not much fun. But here every car, house and office has air conditioning. :D

Ah drizzle........you miss it when it's not there you know. I remember getting back to the temperate zone and joyfully running out into the dreak(?) drizzle to soak it up.

Bat droppings? What I would have given for bat droppings! The best could 'ope for was a quick splosh around in the septic tanks of the local toxic waste dump.
