As we gear up for this fourth heatwave, there’s a strange beauty to it all. We’re learning to slow down, to find joy in the simple act of sitting still in a patch of dappled sunlight. The constant struggle against the heat forces us to prioritise comfort.
Maybe the real lesson of our fourth heatwave isn’t about avoiding sunstroke or keeping the house cool. Maybe it’s about remembering that life is best lived with a glass of cold water in one hand and a fan in the other. It’s a reminder to be present in the sweat and the shimmer.
So, when that 37°C hits, don’t fight it. Surrender to the slowness. Let your plans be loose, your expectations low, and your ice cream high. After all, we’ve made it through three waves before. This one is just part of the dance.
