Innit 'ot!

I'm not sure how long it will be before I melt but that day can't be far away!  The most important piece of equipment in my house (after the freezer) is the electric fan.  It's working non stop.  Out in the garden the fountain which is supposed to make me feel cooler when I hear the tinkling of water, sounds as though it is laughing at me.  (It is recirculating water, don't worry!)

I know many of you live in much warmer climes than we have here in Lincolnshire, but domestic air conditioning is pretty well unknown here.  We don't get enough hot weather to justify the expense.  

Last night I waited until after eight o'clock to go to the supermarket and even then it was noticeable that people were lingering in the chilled and frozen food aisles just to be in the cooler air.  

Yesterday morning I visited some friends who had come home early from their narrowboat because the dog just couldn't take the heat any more.  I have to say that the cool air in their stone cottage would have tempted me to stay at home too.  It was WONDERFUL!
