Is there no sympathy left in this country for the rest of us?

    i wish you cooler weather, shade and a load of hydration! 🤞

    i choose to believe that the people who can handle this weather are only a vocal minority, because all the people who can’t handle it are staying indoors and lying down on cooling mats / cold tile floors all day 🫠😭

    spring and autumn are my time to shine, but i need to hibernate and aestivate, lol

      GRMA a chara. You know, I prefer your way of looking at it. I had assumed we had all died off from natural selection :D

      I must look into cooling mats. Never heard of them before - thanks!

          We’ll be remembered fondly as the gentiles, who sadly did not evolve quickly enough to keep up with fossil fuel emissions.

          Ah, the YouTube search results is all about dog mats and I was wondering what was up with that. I’m happy to buy myself a collar too if that helps :D

            nahh, the trick is to plant trees whenever & wherever possible, to reforest ireland’s rainforest! when they’re all grown up, we’ll finally have some shade outdoors, flood prevention, windbreaks, habitats for wildlife, etc etc 💪

            hah! it might be silly, but it’s way more convienient and comfy than sticking my feet in a basin of water all the time, lol
