8.15 this morning getting the car out of the drive ready to take littl'un to school, and I see I have a flat tyre. Thought about dragging the compressor out of the garage to pump it up, started to go and find the garage key and realised that it might be a puncture and pumping it up might not do much good.
Thought about changing the wheel, and the thought of laying down on the hot tarmac to get the spare wheel out from under the car didn't appeal to me, so I reversed the car back into the driveway and gave littl'un a day off school. OH isn't going to be happy when he gets back from blighty though.
Good skills though Char.
My missus wouldn't even think about thinking about it. She probably wouldn't even notice a flat tyre & drive off until it rolled off the rim. If she did notice it her first thought would be 'bugger' followed by " can you fix that & where's the keys to your car?"
Actually changing the wheel wouldn't occur to her as it's way out of her skill set.
@manonthemoon2 Yesterday was indeed a bit excessive and today's due to be a bit worse. I'm wearing a cardigan at the moment as it was a tad chilly (but pleasant) when I did some watering at 6.30. All doors and windows open for another hour maybe to blow away the fug, then back to living in a cave.
Yes 36C here 1730hrs but with a slight breeze from NNE so able to sit out from 1600hrs onwards, all the farmers are busy getting the hay into the round bales, don't see too many rectangular one around here.
Except when we had to absolutely go outside, we stayed in the relative cool of the house where it didn't go over 26C. Around 4 o'clock we went out to give the horses a long cool shower which they clearly appreciated.
Today we're expecting the same but hotter, after which hopefully it's going to get back to something more acceptable.
22:30 last night 89.5F in our house = dripping. 81.5F at 8:30 this morning.

Was 27 C outside at 8h00 this morning. Calling for 37 C this afternoon, a bit of a breeze.
Everything is dry as a bone outside. It has been SOOO long since we had any rain. Crit'Air requirements around Avignon due to pollution levels.
Forecast calls for Risques d'Orages beginning Wednesday and extending for a few days. This often appears in the forecast, but when it is days away, it often never actually occurs.
Drop in for a natter about anything French related.
