The next heat wave!

[Lovelyness]

Where did you get your blinds? My double glazing is strange the outside facing pane is cool to touch even in the sun, but the inside facing pane heats up when it's sunny and gets very warm especially if there is a curtain near it. The warmth of the inner pane makes the room hot

I got mine from blinds 2 go. You can get cheaper ones e.g. Dunelm, but you have to cut them to size. I didn’t trust myself to cut them properly lol I got the twist ones…they were super easy to fit…I did them by myself. You just have to make sure yo measure the window recesses really accurately. They have made a difference, and will keep heat in in the winter too. They are blackout blinds too so they keep the bedroom nice and dark on light mornings so I don’t wake up at 5.30 am! I’m really pleased with them

My blinds for outside arrived and my Russian neighbour came straight to help me put them up they came just in time as it’s getting hot, but extremely windy and I can’t put the parasols up.
They are really nice and already keeping the scorching sun off.

They were not expensive and just hung up on those special outdoor sticky hooks. They leave no holes and can be easily taken down.
The storm is really bad here there are things blowing down the road. Our outdoor lamp at the door blew away too.

Hope it doesn't last too long. The blinds look very nice

We have had the storm for the last five days my vaulted ceiling is creaking like an old ship what’s it like in the UK?

London is turning into the new Spain
It’s unbelievable that it has actually been hotter than Spain on occasional days

Has the new fan helped?

Has the new fan helped?

Yes, I've got them at opposite ends of the room and one of them is in the cooler kitchenette. They have timers which is great I've ordered a terracotta wine cooler to use as like the pot in the video, but without vegetables in it. I'm curious about whether it will work
