We have a filter for water on our kitchen sink. I usually put the bottle that is used in the refrigerator for the next day when it's necessary. We don't have an ice maker. :-(

in reply to Activity2004

You don't have a freezer even?

If the drink is to cold it will make your body raise its temperature anyway, best to just drink cooled water. ☺

We have a freezer, but the fridge never had a place to make ice. Hard to believe, I know.

in reply to Activity2004

You buy an ice tray and make ice cubes.

Thought about it, but not enough space.

You can buy tiny plastic ice cube trays only holding 6 smallish ice cubes

Either frozen yogurt or ice cold water.

Water. With or without ice, cooled or not. Last night I drank water from a bottle that had been sitting in the car and it might have made a passable cup of tea.

However... gin (the real thing or the very good local alcohol free version) and good tonic with ice is mighty fine.

You have to be careful with drinking anything and driving at the same time.

Regular filtered water, staying indoors and time out for an ice cream, yogurt or Formage Frais. If I am out doors taking my time getting from point A to point B! I'm more a winter bird!

Less clothes. A lot less. 34'C today, which I hear is about the same as the UK.

One of the advantages of working from home :)

Oh, and water.

Water, prefer bottled, or if tap water with a splash of fruit juice to cover the chlorine-y taste West Midlands tap water tastes a bit like a swimming pool

Yes, tap water can be a bit yucky..sometimes it tastes metallic as well. My dad when he was young, lived in a place where they had to pump water from a well. He said it tasted so much better than tap water...he doesn't like the chloriney taste of tap water either. He grew up in Worcestershire.

Water for me and love it filtered and chilled.

Just water, cold, seems best. Or, if at a pub, lemonade and lime with a slice of lemon or lime and ice...that is quite refreshing.

I'm not that keen on icecream..prefer it when it has practically melted, so then it's not particularly refreshing anyhow.

Diet Tonic Water. No Gin Honest, with a hint of lemon.

A nice long glass of cool sparkling water. Here we can get Pellegrino which is good because it has all the salts that you can lose when sweating. If you drink tap water it is wise to put a good pinch of salt in a half litre as a loss of sodium can be quite dangerous and produces symptoms not always recognised even by doctors.

Although our house is well insulated and with double glazing we also close the shutters against the sun. At 14.00 today it was 31°C which is 88°F.
