Alright refugees!
I reckon we need to have a threat to chat. About stuff. With reddit ‘closing’ for the next few days in some cases, and foreseeable in others, I felt like this thread was appropriate.
What are you all up to today? Anything interesting going on? I already know it’s too hot.
Anyone else think it’s too hot for tea? I really want a cuppa but in this heat it’s just not the same.
Agree! I don’t know how people do tea in this weather, and I love tea.
Smashing back the bottles of water like no tomorrow.
Struggling to come up with ideas for dinner. Looking like it’s gonna be another chicken fucking salad. Can’t bear to cook anything over the cooker. Might even just get sandwhich stuff which has the benefit of being able to tell the weans to make their fucking own dinner for once.
Pasta salad? Gazpacho soup?
Ended up going for BLTs!
Nice
It was actually pleasant this morning cycling to work, then I walked outside 15 minutes ago for lunch and it felt like the sun was trying kill me and the air trying to suffocate me.
Really thinking about investing in one of those ~£300 air conditioning units for home next year, as summers seem to keep getting worse, anyone tried those?
If you get a portable one, make sure you get the kind with two hoses. Otherwise you’ll create a vacuum that will pull in hot air to the room you’re trying to cool.
The second hose prevents that by using outside air instead.
I removed Sync from my phone homescreen and the reddit link on my browser bar.
Currently wondering how I’ll see who else is too hot and if Celtic appoint a new manager (which makes me think someone needs to start a lemmy.scot instance for things like Scottish football…)
I was thinking of creating a Scottish lemmy instance, but someone seems to have bought both lemmy.scot and feddit.scot domains. I hope they actually do something with them, but seeing they have bought both of them, it doesn’t seem promising. Any other .scot domain ideas would be nice.
What about haggy.scot, like lemming -> lemmy haggis -> haggy
My wife’s away in Corfu this week with her mother, so I took the executive decision to book today off work. Bloody glad I did, because it’s glorious.
Got a few bits to do around the house this morning, then I’m going to spend the afternoon in garden, under the gazebo with a series of cold drinks doing a bit of studying.
Precious, precious alone time. Make the most of it!
