Heatwave and boring blabbering

in blurtfunny •  2 years ago 

The whole of the Uk went into a big panic about this heatwave.
And I've found it quite pathetic, and personally I saw it as yet another way to create fear. . .
As obviously, we always have to fear death, in one way or another to stop us from living. . .

So after going into arguements with three different people on social media, after I've expressed, that I think people are whinging and pussies, and that I grew up in a country with this weather for 3 months every Summer, and my Mum's little Fiat Polski has never even heared of airconditioning and we used to get stuck in traffic for ages, in direct Sun. . . .etc, etc. . .

Today the Universe decided to prove me I'm not as tough as I think. . . LoL
(Which Im ok with. . .had a good laugh)

So even though I was well hydrated, had food, and my epic iced coffees. . .

When I got home, after being out, I literally passed out. . .

When I got in, I lay down on the floor, and before I knew, I was asleep. . .
I opened my eyes later and crawled in the bedroom, and had like an hour sleep (I never sleep during the day, like ever, unless Im dying . . .)

And even when I got up, I had such a headache and had no idea what was going on. . .

Im not sharing any of these to feel sorry for me, I actually am totally fine now, and not whining.
Im sharing this as I think it was funny, how wildly miscalculated my limits, just to prove them wrong, and how cocky I was, and had like a half an hour walk from the station, and thought that just because I grew up being used to having this weather, it will be the same, even though here in Englad we barely ever see weather like this, so my system is clearly not used to it anymore. . .

I still think, that most people overreacted, and I still think that mainstream media is trying to create fear. . .
But next time this weather comes, I won't be walking around in the sun, I'm going to the beach, and not come out from under the water.

But good news, it started raining. . .and the second I saw, I went out, and walked to the shop to get watermelon.

And also made some fresh juice. . .

So now Im all sorted. . .

Oh, and let me tell ya about my famous iced coffee. . .
You see, I only ever drink black coffee, or espresso (and defo no sugar, or sweetener).
But, this is bloody epic. . . And super delish. . .

So Ive made a couple of espressos, and poured them in the icecube tray, froze them, and then chucked them in the glass and poured "milk" over it . . .(coconut is the best, but the oat is not bad either)

Honestly, next level. . .

Made them to @ultravioletmag and she loved it too. . .

@adetorrent you have got to try this my friend. . .

Anyways, pussycat seems very unbothered by the heat, especially cause he has been obsessed with the tap lately, and I leave it slightly dripping for him to play . . . He literally chases the drops for like 20 min and can't seem to get bored of it. . .its good to be a cat. . . especially at my house. . .

It's 100F today here...


A/C is Cool 😎🥓

It was 104 here lol

Yeah the lack of any air con is a big issue here lol and the fact that half the supermarket fridges and freezers broke, trains couldn’t run as the tracks warped and a lot of out flats are like greenhouses cause we all love tons of glass lol this was what didn’t help. I bet 100 in other places isn’t that bad, infact I have been to Vegas in 100 degree weather

I just wanted to reflect on that bit more.
90-100 here is the norm.
I have been in 125-130 in Vegas and I would not recommend it. Also, we have our own version of a lizard queen in the form of a governor.

Stay Cool 😎🥓

I’ve veen to Vegas and sure it was between 90 and 100 and something but I didn’t notice it rly being that hot I guess cause could go in hotel with air con and cool down didn’t have any issue working out there etc in the cool gym. It’s just better prepared rly

Yeah it was 100-102 F here all day. . .

No A/C at mine. . ., in the UK it aint worth getting one really . . . Not for these couple of days, lol, I bet next week we'll be wearing winter coat again

First of all, you and @ultravioletmag get trophies for those espresso cubes! Yes, of course i've tried them.. but since mans never hot, I haven't had them in the heatwave 😅

Talking of heatwave, YOU ARE 100% CORRECT about the way media spreads fear. OMG it's such a difference in the maps. The blood red is such a fearful image. Also that bloke lying down is probably of Caribbean or African descent, in which case, he's probably have a little nap in the lovely sunshine, soaking up some Vitamin D 😂

LoL, you and your hoodie in the 40C. . .

And yeah, had the same thought re the bloke. . .totally just chilling.

But you know. . .we gotta find a way to make people be scared to be alive. . .
Otherwise they may end up enjoying themselves. . .

  ·  2 years ago  ·  

He is super cute, but can act like he has been possessed by an evil spirit. . .

Temperature is much better today after the rain. . . .but the espresso cubes are still on the menu
