We’ve been on holiday with two dogs. The last few days have been so hot that we could go out with them only early in the morning. Thankfully the place we are staying has stone walls and seemingly good loft insulation that moderate temperature fluctuations.
How have you been coping?


I’ve got this life-hack called living in Shetland.
Honestly, we’ve had rain, mist, wind and 8 degrees weather most of the week. Hearing about the heatwave the rest of the country is ‘enduring’ is grim. Every fibre of my being is yearning for a sunny beer garden.
Hang in there. I’m originally from a fair bit further North, although less moist than what you are enduring. I continue to favour the “not heatwave” conditions.
