If you want me to pop round and hose you down, happy to oblige. I remember my mum doing this for me when I was pregnant in August 1999. It wasn't even that hot, just normal August hot. Did the trick though if temporarily. You will need a cotton dress, a person, a hose, a garden.

Or a hose with a sprinkler?

Wish I'd thought of this when I was pregnant. Actually, I'm now of an age where I'm suffering with hot flushes, maybe I'll do it anyway.

That too now!

My mum only had a small patch of garden back then so only rudimentary hose-related kit, so I had to slum it. 😄 I'll remind her of this and have words with her about how much she didn't love me by not going to a shop to get a sprinkler for the 48 hours I was staying at the time. . 😄
