Have you had a nice summer so far, lovely people of HEXUS?

[Zak33]

Hiya people

Have you had a nice summer so far?

I have... it's been good to me so far. How 'bout you?

[shaithis]

Nope

Too hot and muggy and for the past 2 weeks I've had swollen tonsils, a bad chest and a cold. Haven't been ill in years either

[Saracen]

No complaints, so far. A few muggy days, but nothing too bad.

[Zak33]

I've learned to ejoy the heat... it's quite literally a combo of mindset and physical planning

Mindset is to absorb the heat and relish it...

Physical is to drink more water and less tea/coffee.. human bodies are amazing at dealing with temperature IF given the chance to control it as they were evolved too do so. and it doesnt entirely involve sweating like a pervo....

I have worn a shirt AND tie every working day again this summer... and shorts at home when possible.

Weather's been cracking, but not having my holiday until September... I hope August goes quickly!

[virtuo]

Weather has been fantastic, rain has generally been nice enough to wait until I'm at work.

Not going on holiday this year, so making the most of the weather. Handy living 2 minutes from the beach

[DanceswithUnix]

Love sunny weather.

Even cycled to work a few times.

[Tumble]

Yes, it's been rather a good summer this year, although it's going far too quickly. Done a crap load on the bike, hills are getting better & faster. nearly nearly have a house and everyone's healthy. All good

[Chadders87]

Nope. I'm English. It's either too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry, too windy, too muggy, too sunny, too cloudy. Plus there's too much traffic, too many days with early light and not enough with early dark, then there's too many school kids and with too much time. The NHS is terrible and cost of private health care is extortionate. Life insurance is only £30 a month but my wife just won't give up on breathing, and my boy turns 2 next week and he doesn't even want lego!!

Sod this summer.

Oh, and I got married last month. Just end it now.

[TheAnimus]

my boy turns 2 next week and he doesn't even want lego!!

It's ok so long as he still likes Duplo right?

[Saracen]

....

Even cycled to work a few times.

I'd do that too .... but I can't work out how to cope with the stairs.

This is, of course, where working from home, for yourself, really comes into it's own, especially when it involves shorts, an umbrella over the garden table, quiet background music, an iced drink and, erm ..... ummmm .... oh yeah, a laptop. Ain't life a grind.

[wasabi]

Been great. Cooking outside in the wood oven, and just back from a weekend camping in Exmoor. Even been able to use the lightweight mesh jacket on my bike instead of heavy waterproof kit.

Only downsides are hideous road congestion to the coast and our office doesn't have aircon.

[Allen]

It was rubbish until this morning. Had a nice storm in Brighton which has brought the temperatures down to a much more reasonable level!

[george1979]

Its been pretty good, weather wise, so far. Been enjoying a few barbecues and such. The atmosphere here in Glasgow is brilliant right now with the Commonwealth Games although the place is packed and causing occasional havoc getting home on the train

[Lee H]

Weatherwise for everyone its been blooming lovely.

For me however, I might as well be in the grasp of hell itself. Got a major psoriasis outbreak all over - and I mean all over including arms, pits, hands, feet and god knows what else.

My skins all red, splitting and bleeding and just looks angry and then comes along sweat into that mix.

[Turquoisetim]

Awesome thank you
