We’re not setup for hot weather, so we resort to all kinds of things to keep us and our homes cool.

Apart from ordering fans from Amazon, what else have you been doing to keep cool?

    Ice packs, the ones you put in picnic bags to keep the food cold.

    I sit on one or put it in my lap during the day, and put another in bed with me at night. Great between the thighs for maximum cooling. Wrap it in a pillow case or towel or something so you don’t have it directly against your skin when it’s fully frozen.

      Hmm, good idea. I think my icepacks are in the shed… I’ll get them out before it’s 40DegC in there again

      I’ve been using ice packs too. They work great. It doesn’t stop me feeling hot but totally works for control sweating as much.
