The short answer is I'm not coping very well at all. I'm here in the lounge, the coolest room in the house with a fan on, and it's rather pleasant. Outside it has been oven like the last few days. They keep on promising us thunderstorms, but keep on pushing back on when they'll arrive. Even my husband aka the lizard who loves really hot weather found it difficult to sleep the other night, I found it nigh on impossible.
Mum always claimed she was cold even when her flat was at 30 degrees plus, so I'm sure she is fine in her care home. I do worry about MiL. She won't drink a lot at the best of times as she doesn't want to keep on going to the loo. We're off to look after her for a few days at the weekend, so I hope it isn't as hot there and we can keep her hydrated.
