I thought of putting this in the Joke section, but it's more weather-related !

Yep, I've never been more grateful for having professionally installed mosquito screens on our windows.

We have a large glass panel at the top of the back door and the sun hits it for most of the day raising the temperature significantly of the room. Wondering what we could do we tried this and it works ! We took the the car's windscreen sun cover and taped it over the window (the car is always parked in the garage.)

The other thing is painting that chalky stuff that's used on greenhouses - it's the latest thing :lol:

Getting that chalky stuff off afterwards is the bigger challenge.

I cut down a large cardboard box from a delivery and taped it the pieces to the glass panel of our utility room and also to the window.

We’ve just arrived home from staying for 3 nights at a local air-conditioned hotel as our house was too hot for us to cope, despite closing curtains, our mobile air con unit and several fans - opening windows in the evenings didn’t help as the air didn’t cool sufficiently.

50 ways to keep cool, this one is a bit less well-known: use a multi-purpose chair.

And here we are again. Multiple warnings of hail, high winds, intense electrical activity, heavy downpours. Garorock music festival was evacuated this afternoon.

Same here for the period of 23h00 last night to 11h00 today. Nope, nothing short of some distance lightening and a slight breeze. Not a drop of rain or anything really. I was so hoping for some rain. Some storms in the forecast for this evening with some rain during the night. We REALLY need it. Otherwise, 2 week forecast of sun, no rain and temps in the mid thirties (short of the next 3 days which are supposed to be cooler...

we got nothing but as usual Marmande got the full set. I really don’t know why they keep trying to have Garorock at this time of year. It seems to get disrupted every year.
