I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD
Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️
Reblog to have your dashboard be visited by the spirit of joy that death can end but not erase.
these just keep getting better
Easy
I can't even keep my hands steady enough to get a spoon full of food into my mouth 100% of the time. 30% of the time I just miss.

Bloody hell, what talent!!
I need UK journalists to not show 43 degrees is not beach weather like people are gonna die
Americans do not interact
Im Australian, and 43C is NOT beach weather. That is VERY hot, even for us, but for the UK its apocalyptic. At 43C you should not even be going outside if you can help it, treating it like beach weather is a one way ticket to heatstroke.
I agree with not going outside for long periods of time but you will have to plan something to reduce the heat within your households. Especially if your house is designed to retain heat
Fans pointed at open windows will pull out hot air and allow it to circulate - don't put them IN the window, leave some room by the side for extra air to get drawn in.
If you can't afford cold packs (and if you can, stock up on some NOW), get some ziplock bags and freeze them, with wet washcloths or ripped up towel inside. You want them to be ready in the freezer when you need them. Wrap them in a tea towel and put them on your wrists and ankles.
A big bowl of ice water in front of a fan will blow cold air into the room and make a massive difference. Again, if you don't have ice cube trays get some and freeze them *now*, don't wait until you're already in trouble (although I am melting at quarter past nine but my thermoregulation is bollocks so I don't know if that's the heat or just the me). If you can't afford to get any, clean out empty yoghurt pots or Tupperware or whatever you have that can hold water. Even if you end up with a giant ice cube from a lunchbox, it'll help.
Even just opening two windows at a crack will allow some air circulation - I sometimes prop open my bedroom door and leave the bathroom door open, both windows are locked at a crack because of the cats but it creates a nice little line of wind along the landing.
If you're someone who needs something on them to sleep, take your duvet out of the cover and just use the cover.
Remember that water acts as a lens - you do NOT want to wear a wet t shirt in the burning sun. I did this when I was 8 and if I tan on my back you can still see the scars.
Read the instructions for sunscreen carefully, and use the highest spf you can find. Reapply as per the instructions. If you get burned, Malibu do an amazing aloe-based spray on after sun, I got mine from Savers for 3 quid and it lasts ages. I keep it and any other after sun in the fridge, which means it's incredibly lovely to put on. Aloe is magic for burns so definitely gravitate towards that if you can. My son got badly burned (he's ginger, he went to an outdoor pool and they forgot to give him sunscreen) and he's had 2 helpings of it and you wouldn't believe how much better he is (he couldn't even really wear a shirt).
Make sure your pets have plenty of fresh cold water to drink, and if they usually have dry food consider giving them some wet food for one of their meals (cats are notoriously not always great drinkers but wet food will get them some liquid). Keep the curtains and/or blinds closed in south-facing rooms. I have blackout curtains in the front room and the front bedroom (my son's) and they make a MASSIVE difference to the heat. Make sure pets have access to these cooler spaces if you can create them.
Keep oven/hob use to a minimum if you can. I like making a massive pot of something that can be reheated in the microwave if necessary - the oven especially adds a lot of heat. Or get some wraps and ham and cheese and eat those.
Cordial or fruit juice can be better than water if you're sweating a lot. Cordial is cheap as chips. Salty snacks are also good.
Go to Iceland and buy a billion lolly ices. It's especially a good way to make sure kids stay hydrated.
I realize op asked for Americans not to interact, and whether or not they're being cheeky, I feel obligated to reblog this to save lives.
That temperature is absolutely murder, even moreso with humidity.
Please, be safe and stay hydrated!
For reference, 43 degrees celsius is roughly equivalent to 109.4 degrees fahrenheit. That’s bad.
this thread on twitter has some excellent advice too that I can attest to working wonderfully!
And as a reminder to my fellow Americans who don’t understand why this is an issue - the UK by and large does not have air conditioning. So imagine 109 degrees with literally NO AC.
That’s why it’s a problem. That’s why people are going to die.
I had to deal with 40C heat in a city not built for anything above like 32 last summer. I had no AC. Most people didn't have AC. Our infrastructure was melting. An entire town burned to the ground. This heat is no joke.
Soak wash cloths and put them in the freezer.
If you have pets, pet them with these rolled up frozen cloths (if you have cats, keep an eye out for panting and have a back up plan to take them somewhere with AC)
Place the frozen cloths at key points - your neck, your wrists, the top of your head
Fill up your bathtub with cool water and have a fan angled to pull that cool air out
Get a bucket or pan or box or whatever of cool or cold water. Dunk your feet in it. You'll thank me.
Do not try and be productive. Try and survive.
When all else fails, sit in that tub in the dark fully clothed with a fan pointed at you
Try and avoid opening your fidge or freezer too much - it has to run to cool back down generating more heat.
Rotate through frozen things. They'll get stinky, but they'll keep you cool. As soon as one starts getting too warm, put it back and get the next one.
Plan meals - light food, more frequent snacking, no cooking. Cheese, fruit, chips with taziki dip, pasta salad, etc. (I made the pasta at like midnight before the heat hit). Your appetite will be fucked. If you have ANY issues with food, plan ahead.
Soaked my bed sheet and pointed the fan at it to fall asleep. It was gross, but it was the only way I could do it.
Cooling mats and bowls are great for pets too, the mats are filled with non toxic gel too which is great for cats who like to stretch their claws when they’re comfy!
im going insane.
what the fuck.
Absolutely frothing at the mouth looking at this new lego set coming up i need it so bad i am going to straight up Die
