Staying home
Ideas I have seen
Water bottles in fridge
Iced drinks
Hot drinks - Asians think whatever makes you perspire will cool you
Ice and iced water below ceiling fans or floor fans or near electric fans (but not near enough to mix electricity and water)
Water bath for your feet
Inflatable water bath for feet in the garden
buy cheap sun umbrellas
Open opposite doors to create a draft early morning (but pull down insect screens and ensure no doors are open to intruders)
Shopping and shopping list<
Garden furniture
Fly screen

When Preparing to travel>
Check cancellations of trains,
local fires,
road blocks due to roads or vehicles on fire
Check meeting is going ahead and not cancelled
Stay calm and cool. Cooler days ahead.
Suggestions for making extra ice without ice cube trays
Depends on whether you need to get the ice out easily and whether you want to put it into drinks so it must not be contaminated
Ideas include
Ziplock bags
Aluminium foil inside egg trays or plastic egg trays (cardboard fibre ones disintegrate and contaminate)
Silicone trays for making chocolate and baking small muffins
Cut tops off plastic cartons or use the plastic screw on tops
(Use hot water to melt ice so it slips out.)
Lego bricks
Chocolate boxes lined with aluminium foil
Order ice cube trays which are very cheap from Amazon for quick delivery or from a supermarket offering quick delivery
