It's freaking 27°C in my living room according to the built-in thermostat in the heater, which is normally lethally high for me (anything above 18°C is uncomfortable for me... hate heat), but somehow I am still alive. Probably because the air is very dry, luckily, zero sweat. Of course I am naked in my living room and take cold showers every now and then, come out soaking wet out of the shower and straight in front of the fan in the living room... physics does the rest and cools me down.

Now I feel a bit ashamed for complaining about only having half my AC working; still better than your lot with that heat and none at all. :-[

Take care of yerself, brother. As someone who grew up on a farm with a fish pond right out back of the house, I know from personal experience that there's only a few things stink worse than a dead frog baking in the sun.  :-DD

Unless it's a dozen of 'em.  :o

No, this really happened when I was like 12. To this day still a total :wtf: happened...

Strangely, the air is so dry, desert-like, that although I have never in my entire life experienced such a silly high temperature.... I feel quite OK, zero sweat, not sticky at all.... bone dry. It's incredible. Usually I can be all sweaty at only 20 or 25°C because of the humidity here by the ocean, but today at 41, not even sticky. Humidity is everything !!  >:D

Still, can't complain. 41 outside 27 inside, that's 14 degrees less than the outside temp, for a house that's oriented south and no air-con, I think it's doing pretty well. I think once I install sprinklers on the roof and south wall, it should be enough to drop the temps to 20°C and not even need aircon, which I can't afford anyway, neither to buy the H/W, never mind to pay for the electricity to power it.

Watch yourself and drink more than you think you need; make it enough that you pee frequently. It is so easy to get dehydrated just sitting around the house in that kind of heat. The real danger signs are when you stop sweating and stop peeing.

Saskia:
when you go pee, do it up a rope. Nothing arouses Papa Smurf more than your doing that.

I'm good. Spent all day sweating and peeing  :-DD

Actually last walk I did out was a bit of a fail. Did 25km walk in 29oC (84oF for the backwards). Took 2.5L of water (85 fl oz for the backwards) with me. Went to the pub after and had two pints of Proper Job. Got home, didn't pee until the morning and it was like treacle. Looked at the water bladder and it was empty. Fail  :palm: :palm:

He needs *help* and to provide this is beyond my current capabilities.
Unfortunately.
He is 350 km away. he is suffering from burn out, depression, huge stress due to his mother slowly fading away. It is beyond my capabilities to do more for him than listen to him for 3 - 5 hours/week and try to help him out. He would need someone there full time to take the load of home care off his shoulders, someone out there looking after his mental and physical health, someone to take care of his family house which started to rot away. If I had been a millionaire I would have tried to help with the daycare stuff and the house. But I am not, and we have more than enough on our plate already. I am sorry, but there is only so much I can do.

Don't feel guilty about it, remember charity begins at home, you are already helping him with the donation of the notebook, be thankful that you're in a position to that. Take care of yourself and hubby first.
