Extra! Extra! Read all about it. Shropshire is about to fry! This was the headline I saw as I walked into the grocery store last night. Today it was 85 degrees.
Yes! Before all our Southern family shake their heads in disbelief. This is in fact a heat wave for England. Anything above 80 degrees is considered hot/deathly hot here. My facebook feed started to fill up with reminders about leaving pets and children in hot cars, seatbelt burns from putting infants into their car seats that were too hot. Even advertisements on the radio included reminders of numbers to call if you see a hot dog or kid left in a car. For Southerners, we would call that April. We may even say cool. However, here where central air is non-existent we are starting to understand what all the fuss was about. Our house is stuffy...stUUUFFy. Sully and I have done nothing, but sit and sweat all day. Today we drove to a grocery store just to walk up and down the freezer aisle.
Thankfully, Zach had the foresight to invest in not one, two....but FOUR of these ginormous fans. I made fun of him for buying the largest fans England had to offer, but I have now seen the error of my ways and have had to grovel and admit he was right. I told him he better not get used to it....it could just be the heatwave talking :)
