I was trying to find the hiding monkey face but it kept on giving me the scream face 
I expect I will be staying indoors with the fans on all day, Pixie

No wonder! I’m in the house just now, with the blinds down and the windows closed. I don’t have fans at the moment, so it’s the next best thing (so the bbc tells me!) My poor little dog is panting a bit too 
Next Monday in the North-West - 27° … 
Bearable …

Well…bearable you say? I remember last year when it hit 26 degrees around 4pm one day. I could hardly breathe! (A tad dramatic perhaps, but it was a real struggle to even be bothered moving to get some juice)

A big fuss about nothing!
We intend to move to Scotland next year, the boot might be on the other foot, looking forward to it apart from the midges.

It’s a comfortable 18c at the moment here on the south coast today
Interesting…whereabouts? Bring a hairnet, and tights for pulling over your face. Don’t live anywhere near water or trees. Don’t go out after 4pm. Bring wellies, umbrellas, sunglasses and a waterproof jacket. 
Oh and if you do get bitten alive, use the Avon stuff…

A fan hack. Hang a wet towel behind a fan, ideally with one end of the towel in a washing up bowl with some water in it to keep the towel damp. Evaporation of water as a result of the fan substantially reduces the temperature of the air from the fan (for a liquid to evaporate draws heat from the environment)

Oooh thats a good idea! I did read that its good to have a fan by a window to draw in the air, but if its hotter outside, it obviously aint going to work. Its more the dog I worry about than me, mind you. I’m waiting for a fan to arrive, so I’ll put in on the floor and do your towel trick. 
Glasgow, around the Bearsden area, possibly Milngavie.

I’m sure it does, and I shall update this thread with the results!
Is it?
It’s a nice area, that side of Glasgow. I used to know a few people there when I worked at that end of the city.

17 degrees with me…shall I waft you down some cool air?
Also - how do you get the little “degree” circle? If I do it, it just looks like 17oC

Yes please, I would be most grateful for a waft or two of your cool air, Pixie! 
Regarding your ° question, I am on my iPad at the moment and to get the degree sign, I hold down the 0 and drag it up then let go …… and this ° is the result.
