robyn's tip to beat the heat: #2

eat ice lollies all day long. and when no one is looking, place one down your clevage for extra cooling.

being last day of term and all....my class and i layed around all day eating freezies and watching videos. well...too much chocolate, biscuits, crisps, gummy sweets and juice was also consumed in between the frozen treats. they were litterally pinging off the walls when i ushered them out to their parents.

oh woe is me!

schoooooool's out for summer!
schoooooool's out for ever!

apparently i've mentioned to my class that i like chocolate quite alot this year. i usually get many bottles of wine for leaving presents, along with the general tat teddy bears, picture frames and such. but this year....no wine. at all! only boxes of chocolates with the general tat teddy bears, picture frames and such.

hurrah! i hear you say. who would winge about getting 8 boxes of chocloates? 8 boxes of chocolates sitting in the car while you're in the pub having an end of term drink when it's 32 degrees isn't so good. my 8 boxes of chocolates are now puddles of goo in trays.

bollocks.

so you've come home after a long, hot, bothered day at work. it's 33 degrees. what's the first thing you do? in the privacy of your own home, may i add...

*get your standing fan and place it directly beside your bed.
*fill a spray bottle with water.
*take a cold shower, i suggest using a minty shower gel if you can find one.
*do not dry off.
*spread your towel on the bed and lay directly in front of the fan.
*when you start to dry off spray yourself with the spritz bottle to ensure the glorious coldness lasts as long as you can stand.

i'm wet

it's hot.

i don't like it.

tomorrow will bring some relief. it'll be 31 degrees instead of 36. sweet!

the poor little animals in the zoo were suffering too! the lions were served bloody ice blocks while monkeys got fruit encased in ice.
 

this is my island in the sun

i haven't slept for days. the temperature has averaged 28 degrees during the day and 19 degrees at night since friday. i haven't slept for days.

i stole the fan from my classroom and placed it directly beside my bed.

but as we speak there is a vicious rain/thunder/lightening storm happening all around me. maybe i'll sleep tonight.
