During this hottest part of the summer

how do you fill your days?

I seem to spend more time indoors in the AC and so I find that I spend lots of time cooking and whipping up some of my favorite time intensive dishes.;) Time well spent that's for sure!
 
No A/C in my home unfortunately and most of my days are standing over a stove doing my 'canning' since the hot weather is why I have lots of fruits and vegetables getting ripe and not willing to wait for cooler times.

I do have to refrain from bending over my work since that would inadvertently add salt to my canned food. Had to laugh when I saw an episode of Hell's Kitchen where complaints were coming in because food was salty. Seems the chef was sweating into the food.

In LA how has the heat been? I remember my couple of yrs. spent in Long Beach, we had no A/C and really did not need it as I recall, we did use a fan but it was never too awful hot!

Hee-hee reading that about the salt could just about break me from my salt habit!!!
 
The coast is always cooler, but even they were in the 80's. Every place else was getting in to triple digits but the weather pattern has now changed and it is slowly cooling off to the normal 70's-80's.
 
It had been in the upper 90's the past three days here with high humidity.
My ac in the car is still out so we have been trying not to get out much or atleast do it early in the day. I cannot do alot of cooking and zero baking through the day when it is hot cause the stove is about 4-5 feet from the ac intake and the heat will cause the ac to ice up. I would love to see it cool off!
 
Yes CanMan the nice temp.'s are a real bonus for those who live on the coast of Cali. I remember Monterey as being even more temperate, goodness it was wonderful indeed!!!:)

Janie I watched the Weather Channel and this record heat is supposed to losse a little umph tomorrow, during the hottest part of the day it will be 10 degrees cooler than today's high!!!:D Yee-haw I like that.

I have been very greatful for some of the mildest temp's I can remember in years here this summer, we actually had some days that were just miraculously cool for July!

I am a wimp when it comes to the heat. I can't take it lol. I do ok when it is in the 80's but the 90's are to much for me.
Around here if you say something about cooler temps people freak out saying swine flu is going to kill us all when the weather cools off.
 
cathy
I hate the heat
I do not think that there was one with heat, like me
When we put some books in the car
They stick together from the heat
:eek:
As for the swine flu
I disinfected my hands all the time
I'm afraid of infectious diseases
I hope to end the epidemic is rapidly
:confused:
 
My husband has the worst habit of constantly smoothing his moustache with his fingers when he is out in public. I guess he is paranoid where he cannot see he is constantly smoothing it down. That is such a bad habit especially during flu season. I have tried for years to get him to stop.
 
We had floods last evening.:(
I was chatting to my Mum on the phone when the heavens opened. It had been raining heavily off and on all day.

My husband made a mad dash to the garden and then I could see him on the cctv dragging sand bags from the hard standing up to the front door. The rain was coming down the hill at a terrific rate, into the gutter and up onto the pavement.

Four other neighbours were out and the chap opposite had water coming into the back of his house as he is right next the field. RCTCBC which is our local council has promised several times to sort this problem out.

We did not have any water in the house but the water did run into the garden thought the bottom gates. It's raining periodically again today, the ground is sodden, so if it rains heavily later on, we will be in for more floods:(
