    On the hottest day of the year in London @twa, I ate one small bar of dark chocolate; within ten minutes felt like I was on the deck of a cruise ship. Whole world was going from one side to the other.

    Never happened before in normal temperatures.

    The heat definitely has a lot to answer for.

    @Damocles you actually attempted to eat a bar of chocolate..I couldn’t even think about food. I drank 15 pints of water (no joke) and was still dehydrated - food was the last thing on my mind - especially chocolate! You sick puppy. XD <3

    lol Steph!

    Two things:
    1. High temperatures cause me little to no discomfort (Mediterranean ancestry).
    2. My favourite chocolate is melted chocolate! I want that sugar, hot, sweaty, and stuck to the wrapper.

    But I gotta admit, in 41 degree heat, that dark chocolate hit me hard.

    @Damocles I LOVE the heat! The hotter, the better. I’m like a lizard. BUT, I was working outside doing hard manual labour for those two days, and I was SO thirsty! I drink over 3l a day normally, so working in that heat had me drinking like I never had before lol.
    And as for chocolate, I like mine hard and refrigerated. I hate it even at room temperature.

    For real Steph, you are a lizard! I should have remembered your future move to Italy, eh.

    But yes, there is definitely a limit, even for those of us who enjoy the heat, and that sounds like it.

    Don't get the refrigerated chocolate thing though. Have family who are into that too. Only chocolate that should be coming out of a fridge/freezer is a Mars ice-cream, if you ask me.

    @Damocles , @Steph1710 we have had 100+ degrees F since the 1st of July. We are breaking records and Texas is in a drought. It drains all your energy. I've started drinking Vitamin water to replenish electrolytes. I feel dizzy every day. Swimming helps some. We are going into the dreaded allergy season combined with the 100+ degree heat. Ugh.

    @Damocles, I am also of Mediterranean descent and lived here most of my life, but this heat is terrible. We try to stay inside from 10-2, even swimming earlier or later.
