I would highly recommend one of these - my brother got one for his cat and she basically lives on it in this weatherMum was full, she is just half (no idea who dad is) I tried a bath but it didn’t go well

Rhubarb custard blondies
Link to the recipe. I omitted the custard from the top this time and think it worked better. I always use custard made from powder and I don't think the consistency helps. Mine have never looked as pretty as those but they are God damn delicious.
Skipped ahead to post these so back to Grunka-ing.
I just said to Mr Cow we should get some for the sofa!!#influenced
have also purchased human versions
My husband uses one on his side of the bed

Those cooling pads are brilliant, we had one when we lived in a motor home. Cats are good at coping with heat though.

I'm especially enamoured with the little scruffy brown fella (or lady!) by the pillow!
Message from Vlad:Long time GL-ing, so just a few notes to you all, as I’ve missed you like proper mates!
ooh isn’t it hot, etc
Hope all going well with the tiny babies in this heat, @Gentlemensrelish and @heretoreaditall2019 .
massive congratulations on the unexpected chipolata in your baggage area @Sausage Grand Station (not a jack Whitehall reference)
glad your date went well @BeautifulTrauma, looking forward to the next instalment
all those feeling down, or enduring things that lock down has exacerbated — huge hugs too
those TTC (in this heat? Are you maad?) or who have lost little ones — all thoughts with you too.
@Toffee finger, condolences — hope family coping
@SoulRebel does that say 52C????? Sweet yeti of the Serengeti, that sounds unbearable
@crystaleyesd — loving your dedication to the crisp reviews! Also entranced by /living vicariously through your TurkishLove TriangleDelight
@Pocahontas, any chance of Vlad including a sharp brief blast of Arctic air (night time only) with our next bitcoin drop?
Oh I’m sure there’s lots more I’ve forgotten in this heat, but if you’re going through anything (and I include perimenopausal symptoms in that sweeping generalisation!) big socially responsibleto you too)
Anyway, I would much rather be GL-ing here than the current unnecessary Groundhog Day unpleasantness of the mother thread. More lolly and kebab chat, and non-slop food photos and gifs please — no kittens or anything else Monroe -related
I’ll stay here until there’s a chaos to respond to
Stop whining about the heat, you Bolshevik baby! Now leave me to enjoy my lovely ice bath.
Oh god I know how you feel. This is such a nightmare. The poor kids (and us). I hope you’re taking some time to think of yourself too. I’m still waiting for the details of how my child’s enormous school is going to do it and it’s less than a month now and nothing! I am a ball of anxiety at the worst of times and I need time to get my head round things before I can process it and present it to my anxiety sponge child in a positive way.
I am too hot to function and I would like to just skip to October please! No doubt the school’s will be closed again by then too. Awesome.
Also I don’t like jam but I do like @Spoonfulofjam so Happy Birthday! I hope you had as good a day as possible.

Fraulen I have exciting news - I have an interview next week! Leading on from the phone interview I had last week, the actual manager wants to meet me over skype! Was especially good news for me as I pulled a sickie today after my horror of a manager referred to the 3 months leave I had at the start of the year due to
as "Jay-cloth's little extended holiday". I am not holding out too much hope as I know the job market is terrible at the mo but its given me a huge confidence boost and I'm now picturing handing my notice in with a massive F-you to my boss (disclaimer - I would never actually do that, as much as I like to play the billy big-balls in my head I am far too placid to start a confrontation!)
being suicidal and having a full on breakdown to the point that I couldn't do anything for myself and was a total zombie, I forgot how to tie my laces etc etc

Its madness that school approaches have been inconsistent across the country; different ways of doing things. My boys will only mix with their class, have to eat their lunch in their classroom and get a set time to play out. Theres no direct contact between parents and staff (great when you have kids with additional needs
), staggered drop off and pick up times, no school library, have to communicate with their teachers via their reading records.. its all so strange! I hope yours takes it well and adjusts to the changes!
This is exactly how I pictured your life! Absolutely love it.This is my side of the bed. Not very Riders @Pocahontas
Yay huge congrats @Jay-cloth Cow!!
ive eaten out a lot these past few days and have a lot of veg from the veg box to use up so reluctantly standing over a stove sweating like a pig...
Love Rachel Roddy recipes on the guardian especially this chickpea and spinach braise (I used chard) - how can just olive oil, tomato paste, onion, chickpeas,sugar and greens taste so good?! To be eaten with steamed sweet potatoes and a very cold beer. Then straight down to the beach for a sunset swim!

This is great news Jay-CC, well done!
I got a new job in lockdown - it is definitely possible! And the advantage of video interviews is that you can put your notes up on the wall or in front of you so you’ve got a prompt if you need it. I positioned my notes so that I could read them with my most thoughtful, intelligent head tilt
Best of luck and let us know how you get on!
Phew, caught up. Rudely I’ve been having to work today, plus parent boisterous children! However, wait for it Fraus, mine go back to school tomorrow. Yep 
I’m in Scotland so tonight I’m making packed lunch: chicken wraps, plums and crisps (boring!) and ironing polo shirts.
Happy Birthday and good luck with interviews all! My favourite jam is rhubarb and ginger
but really my favourite spread is marmalade
