The weather dude is calling for a high of 34 degrees Celsius (93.2 Fahrenheit) and a humidex somewhere well into the 40s (104). The humidex and smog alerts are already up, and as I look out my window before leaving for the office, I can literally see the air.
Somewhat stupidly, I'll be riding my bike today.
Yeah, silly me.
Your turn: What little tricks do you have up your sleeve to keep cool?
I second stationary queen - we're going to the beach tonight. I've got a swimsuit this time, though.
ReplyDeleteLawn chair, sprinkler, cold beer. Nuff said.
ReplyDeleteSwimming!
ReplyDeleteI learned this on a hiking trip, if you get too hot, wear short sleeves, and go to the nearest sink and run cold water over your wrists, and it will bring your body temperature down.
ReplyDeleteThe little refrig. ice packs always come in handy too and a water tank (they come in little packs) for your backpack are useful as well.
A trip to the pool upstairs is nice as well.
See ya

AC...cranked up as high as it can go....and the ice cream thing hehehe!! It's supposed to be around 100 tomorrow with high humidity ugh!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love ice!!! Drop in down my shirt or just grab a cup and start eating ice:)
ReplyDeleteBTW Michele sent me
ReplyDeleteYeah, it wasn't good in the city today . Fortunatly it was my last day so I wont have to head into the core. Its funny to see a brown stripe hanging over the 401 as you approach along a country road. Its faint, but its there. Depressing to be honest. Here via Micheles today..
ReplyDeletecheers
P.
my trick to stay cool - no sleeves! harharhar i crack myself up!
ReplyDeleteHello via Michele's!
Riding the bike is good as long as you ride.
ReplyDeleteGet stuck at a traffic light over heat radiating tarmac between a couple of massive SUV's and you will slowly melt and puddle.
My secret? Never, never, stop moving..
Beach isn't an option right now. We're in rainy season now (read hurricane). As soon as it clears, I'm off on my bike too. Love the heat. And Michele says hi.
ReplyDeleteYep, you are silly!
ReplyDeleteI live in Florida...the only way to stay cool is to stay inside, in the AC...therefore, I'm hot and sweaty alot!
Visiting via Michele tonight...glad I wandered thru!
milkshakes, lemonade (not together!), ice cream, swimming pools and staying indoors with all the drapes shut.
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me!
Thanks a whole lot for your positive words when you stopped by today. It means a lot in a time that will be filled with change and I just want to say I appreciated it..
ReplyDeleteHope you keep cool this weekend! :)
cheers

Drinks lots of sweet tea, and if that doesn't do it - drink beer. Then I won't care about the heat!
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me this time!
Air Conditioner my friend. in the house, in the car, in the office,...
ReplyDeleteair conditioner. ice cream is also handy. :)
cucumber lots and lots of cucumber:)
ReplyDeleteA shower always cools me down. Was it really that hot yesterday?
ReplyDeleteI try to avoid going outside, period :)
ReplyDeleteI just imagine a cool, frothy drink on some balmy beach somewhere at sunset...when it's not too hot. It doesn't really cool me off that much, but the thought is still a nice one!
ReplyDeleteHot. Ow. Ow. Ow.
ReplyDeleteOk...enquiring minds must ask.....
is that really your picture?
~~~~running and hiding, I didn't ask that, really I didn't~~~~~
Michele sent me....I think.....
