Uk homes are pretty good at evening out moderate temperature swings, but not for anything sustained.

The bricks on the back wall of our house still felt like a radiator at 6:30 am this morning.

Everyone posts about keeping curtains and blinds closed, but that only works up to the point the house starts turning into an oven 😄

Animals, plant lots of trees, big pond for a duck pond and growing stuff, zero chemicals.

I like the wild pond guys videos aswell.

Yeah, that simply doesn't work with my place. I've got some big south facing windows at the front of my flat, and with the windows, blinds and curtains closed it results in a higher indoor temperature by the time the outside temp starts to drop and seems to trap the air moreso than with the windows open.

God bless 1950s ex council houses, with a single AC unit running in the open plan downstairs, it's 24.5 degrees pretty much all day and starts to drop after 10 ish.
