have been dreading the heat for a while now OP,though am 'lucky' to live in the UK.
am severely epileptic,it always worsens in the heat and by law this care home is not allowed to turn off the main heat controls,add to that we have some support staff who originate from extremely hot countries who get cold very easily and they turn up the radiators and shut all the windows.
on top of the heat,its the time of the year when all the men start bringing the lawn mowers/hedge trimmers etc out and competing with each other every two days or so to get the nicest looking garden-a sensory night mare that also makes it worse for all of us hay fever sufferers as they send the pollen flying.
its also that time of the year when biscuit and boomer;the cats of mine who live at the family home start sprawling themselves all over the garden in the heat and act as public transport for the local population of insects like slugs that have crawled over them both and got stuck in their furr.
oh,and its also the time all the noisy children start coming out,we have had some of our baby trees ripped out of their holes already and blindly thrown at a bedroom window behind our fence along with stones-when its obvious to the outsider this is a care home and will have very vulnerable individuals living there or moving around outside.
