    I'd argue that it's too hot for drinking during the day.

    Those wet and windy mornings blasting over LB were a distant memory this morning.

    Will it be the same on the way home?
    I was being Sarky! I left home at 8am to ride my usual 6.5 miles and was literally melting by the time I arrived. Considering getting the bus/train home.

    I have to keep moving about the house, can't settle and can't work. UK not set up with AC which is needed for days like this.

    When you say moving about the house, what you really mean is 'wrist up, wrist down', slowing building up a bit of speed, until your laptop goes in to screensaver mode.

    Yesterday was the last day of the sales quarter which absolutely caned me. My boss, based in America, has given us the rest of the week off!

    Live a stones throw from Greenwich Park so am sat over there at the moment and got outdoor 5 a side this evening.

    Shame I can't stand the heat really!

    Top effort that. Have managed 4 miles a day Sun, Mon and Tues this week. Run club tonight, minimum 10k but could be anywhere up to 9-10 miles. Hopefully we'll go off road and into the woods for some tree cover.

    As it happens, Monday's run averaged out at 29.4c at 6:15pm. Tuesday's was considerably cooler but still as hot as hell at 7:30pm.

    Today is the hottest July day, in the UK, on record.

    It was so hot, that customers, were entering the greenhouses at Kew Gardens, in order to cool down. I kid you not.
