One of the cool things about humans and heat is that it’s allΒ psychological.
Just as putting one hand in hot water, one hand in cold water then seeing how they feel when you take them out after 5 minutes (the hot water hand will feel cool, the cold water hand will feel warm – even though the air is the exact same temperature!)
Then going round saying to everyone “Cor it’s hot today!” just makes everyone feel even hotter!
But … if you start thinking of chilly, cold, cool stuff, amazingly you start feeling colder! Β So if you don’t have any funky air con, then try these themes to cool off yourself and your kids:
Under the sea (ah, a nice dip in the cool ocean!)
Or best of all …..
It sounds crazy, but give it a try, it’s amazing what those soothing blue hues do to cool you down!
