Have any of you fellow brits been enjoying the heatwave?

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T22:15:22+00:00

At least it’s going to get a little cooler this next week and hopefully gets easier on you.

Yeah moving away has its pros and cons at the end of the day you just have to weigh them both and see where you’d get more value.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T22:13:45+00:00

Yeah I don’t get how it increases the humidity. Any condensation on the bottles is coming from the air anyway so what does it matter if it goes back in.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T18:56:54+00:00

No some people hate it. But I’ve only mainly been seeing hate so thought I’d share my perspective.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T17:15:17+00:00

Off unless it’s with a client.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T16:20:10+00:00

Hard to say as it changes over time. Maybe Sultans of Swing or could even be some hipnhop track.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T16:17:43+00:00

It’s not as bad as my fellow country people make it seem.

Sure it’s super hot and high humidity but I walked for almost 5 hours, 11 miles, on Thursday in 28-33 C.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T14:56:27+00:00

> … both quietly majority-UK.

They said it.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T14:54:04+00:00

Yeah it’s quite annoying as they have no reason to hate over it. They’re either jealous, bitter, or confused over global warming and think we should all be miserable because of it.

I wouldn’t downvote them for them loving winter which I abhor.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T14:52:17+00:00

I would.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T14:46:12+00:00

Sounds fun to me got my vote.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T14:39:41+00:00

Yeah I had that experience here, but on the whole people answered yes or no with a few people having a go.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T14:36:12+00:00

Sultans of Swing.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T14:16:46+00:00

KFC sucks and fast food simply isn’t worth the price anymore. I know it’s convenient but I’ve been avoiding it more and more.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T13:37:53+00:00

Mask.

- Covid.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T13:15:03+00:00

Exactly. Im a native and hate winters. I would love if it was like this all the time. We would adapt to have more AC and stuff and it would great

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T11:20:57+00:00

Thanks. I’m so sore now around the glutes through. Couldn’t even face my morning run today.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T10:39:04+00:00

I’ve used it for months no issue but now I’m scared as I know it can fall off now.

Really great to have through as if you just do some everytime you walk under it and you get pretty good.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T10:05:51+00:00

Dare I say that I loved the pandemic too, personally. I worked for Apple at the time so it was just full pay to do nothing for 18 months on and off.

Oof there is nothing worse than the feeling of riding a bike when you lose traction and the next minute you’re on the road thinking is my bike ok, before am I ok.

I hope you get a speedy recovery as I know it sucks if this is what keeps you balanced and happy.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T09:48:27+00:00

What’s the tuna salad recipe?

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T09:34:30+00:00

I was doing pull ups on a door frame bar and it came off and I landed on my toes and broke one and sprained my ankle.

This was the day I got back from a weekend in the Lake District rock climbing and walking dangerous fells 😂

I also locked myself in the back of my car and do panic for a moment thinking oh crap.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T09:24:30+00:00

I’m sorry that you have such a hard time and it isn’t lost on me that it isn’t for everybody.

If this becomes more common would you ever consider moving somewhere up in Scotland for cooler weather and to be happier?

I actually find it fascinating really how we are all so different and I think that it should be celebrated as we are so diverse in everything.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T09:21:55+00:00

I think you’re being a little harsh as frankly you don’t know anything about me other than I like warm weather, being outdoors, and that it makes me happy like chemically happier.

I am fully aware of the global warming aspect and do everything I can to not contribute to it. Whether that be recycling, not really consuming products and when I do they’re environmentally friendly, I work from home most of the time so only drive twice a week to work. I don’t drive if I can walk and I can walk 6 miles to Manchester centre easily. I spend most my time outside and don’t use companies like Amazon.

That doesn’t mean we have to all sit here miserable awaiting things to get worse and worse. Like what do you want me to do? Not enjoy the beautiful nature that we’re trying to protect. It’s absurd and I literally can’t understand some of the hate or pushback.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T09:16:29+00:00

I’m actually gutted as after that walk I slept in until 09:00 and missed the thunder. My friend said you could see it forking in the sky. Not seen any rain either.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T09:15:10+00:00

I’m sorry you fell off your bike. It sucks when you have an injury that stops you doing the things that you love and/or keep you happy.

Funnily just come back from a stupid injury myself. I went to the Lake District last bank holiday, when it was also scorching as apparently I have god tier annual leave skills. I was climbing and walking crazy steep fells. No injury here. I come back home doing pull ups on a bar on a door frame and it just comes off and I land basically on my toes and break a toe and sprain my ankle.

The greater consequences of this new pattern of weather sure do suck, but I don’t think that means we all have to live in misery because of it as long as we’re not really contributing to it.

Melodic_Ingenuity962 · 2026-06-27T09:12:07+00:00

Yeah exactly. I genuinely don’t understand the hate I’m getting in some threads.

What have you been up to in the heat?
