Switch to lactose free? Not sure about temperature, but it lasts a lot longer.

not on offer from our local dairy. It is usually not a problem, but this summer is particularly warm. I might need a better cool box

#govegan ;)

That would work too

And those packages are paper

still nice that they are delivering local fresh products to your door

Yep. Good local strawberries this summer too

We've had to switch to lactose free because of one of my kids, and the result has been suprisingly positve. (lasts longer, of course, but is also better suited for whipping cream or steaming or whatever)

put a tiny mini fridge outside and a note asking them to put the milk inside 😛

would that work for the local beer brewery as well?

why not? Is the beer afraid of milk?

I mean, do they deliver in otfrom's town. it's getting more interesting by the minute. I imagine some picturesque little town in... what was it Scotland?

like, milk in the morning, fresh cold brew in the evening :)

both solved by JIT delivery using drones

yes, Scotland

I think the licensing laws might be the hiccup in beer delivery

> both solved by JIT delivery using drones that completely spoils the "picturesque little town" image

If drone delivery is going to be thing locally, then I'm investing in artillery.

lots of drones round here. Could work. Drones are a reasonable solution for Scotland, but we do have Leuchars airbase and Dundee airport to contend with

It isn't bad here for a suburb of Dundee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monifieth

We like it

I guess isn't nice and cool there now?

18.5 at the end of my driveway according to the weather station there: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IDUNDE87

the house hold one to heat though so it is taking its time cooling down from 26C inside

aaah yes, the milkman in summer was a bit of an issue. I do remember that.

now more then 20 years ago...

My Dad was telling me the milkman would come right in and put the milk in the fridge. They’d leave a coin on the table for him. Same idea with the iceman.

dang... where and when was that?

When a child doesn't resemble the father, a Dutch saying is: "I guess you are one of the milk man"

Montreal, Canada in the 1930s.

aah ok. small community I guess?

somehow reminds me of the bank strike in the late '60 early '70 in Ireland. the economy actually grew because the landlords of all the pubs knew exactly who to trust and who not.

Well not really. Just different times. Delivery was by horse drawn carts.

Peak in 🇧🇪 is tomorrow 38C, Sunday will be more bearable.

38C in 🇳🇱 too

It's been at least 38°C here in France since Monday, relief is coming this weekend 😅

🇭🇺 anticipating 39-40 this weekend. "cold" front expected next Wed

Yikes! Stay hydrated and in the shade, folks!! Do you at least have fans to more the hot air around? @borkdude you just had A/C installed, yes?

yep, A/C just in time...

I also spend a lot of time this week in the public library which is nice and cool, 15 minute walk

I am fortunate to have been able to build (or rather, have a contractor build) our house a few years ago. Brick, as is usual around here, good insulation, heat pump driving underfloor heating and ceiling cooling, heat-recovery ventilation, so it's comfortable all year around. The last 2 years had summers in the high 30s so this should only be a bit higher.

@imre also underfloor cooling with heatpump right?

how does ceiling cooling work?

it's like underfloor heating, the pipes run in the (concrete) ceiling

it's more comfortable to heat from the floor and cool from the ceiling

right

sounds like a great house. any photos?

A/C on since Tuesday in my case, very grateful to have these units

Aye, good point that it's not just us hoomans who are suffering in the heat!
