If its D&B, it has to be Ben Shaws, which I think is now owned by Nichols, the makers of Vimto, so sadly no longer has a Yorkshire connection. (And fizzy Vimto is much better than still!)

We're going to see The Deep Blue Sea at the Minerva in Chichester tomorrow afternoon. Just had an email saying their air conditioning has a technical fault and is out of order. Oh joy...

My office is the only one is the whole building without air con. I am working on something today which has to be done in there as I’m working from lots of different files in there. It’s a nightmare! A substatial section of the building I work in has a fault with the aircon. I'm currently holed up with a borrowed laptop in a meeting room that just about has aircon. It's a toss up as to what happens first: I walk out or I get fired for complaining so much. The forecast tomorrow is hell, I'm struggling not to have a panic attack, & right now death is looking the most appealing option. |

Looking out my window at a black, sticky river. A couple of days ago it was a road.

Breaking news: The Queen, who never looks hot, and rarely looks bothered, has one of those rectangular Dyson fans.

Got a 4 show weeekend coming up. Hoping the theatres are air conditioned. I see that one of the shows you're seeing is TCAABR. Happy to report that the Criterion has some of the best air con of all the London theatres I've been in. Given the amount of time I've spent in there over the last few years, I'm very grateful for it. |

I'm in Holland Park, pre opera (perfect night for it) and the guy near me is consuming hot soup.
It's not just me is it?

Hamilton, Fiddler, Book of Mormon. |

Just went to see the film Midsommer because I’m close to the cinema and I thought the aircon would be nice.
Ratings:
Aircon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Film ...insert sound of tumbleweed.
What an ABSOLUTE load of old bobbins.

Forecast is for a return to just hot over the weekend as opposed to Hell and Damnation.

Yeap the air conditioning I saw still indisposed at Chichester for the Deep Blue Sea. You would’ve thought that the engineers would’ve figured to stick 50p in the meter. |

Have a ticket for the Bitter Wheat matinee today, grand circle. Quick google of "Garrick Theatre air conditioning". This is a write off, isn't it?

I suppose it depends on how desparate you are to see it. Personally I can't think of anything I'd want to see enough to get me to go to London in 39 degrees!
Why is it on the hottest day of the year I have to spend the morning doing a team bonding session that will involve Lego?

Why is it on the hottest day of the year I have to spend the morning doing a team bonding session that will involve Lego? Well to be honest I'm fortunate in that I can travel door to door from my place to the Garrick in around 30 mins, so it's not so much the journey. Definitely don't want to be sitting in a baking, stuffy theatre though for a couple of hours though. Oooh, clammy, slippery lego pieces! Enjoy. |

How's aircon in the Lyttleton? Seeing Rutherford tomorrow, 38C day. The nice thing about Rutherford is they have a rain curtain before the play starts, so I expect temperatures will be lovely in the Lyttelton with that going on. |

Since my railway company is advising people not to travel today due to disruption due to heat I have had to turn down a free ticket. Boo Hoo.

Good luck everyone. We'll get through this! Don't really have a choice, haha. And we'd better start getting used to it, because we've got more of the same (and worse) in the future. |
