British people food shopping list for a heatwave: - Twister lollies (and all the other lollies) - Quiche (Lorraine) - Assortment of “bits” (mini sausages, mini scotch eggs, various beige air fryable goods) - Coleslaw, potato salad (maybe a tub of beetroot cubes that you’ll inevitably drop down your white t-shirt) - Sausages, chicken drumsticks, burgers etc (if there’s any left) - Some sort of bright red marinade (will also drop down white t-shirt) - Baps/rolls/buns (or whatever you want to call them, don’t start) - Bag of salad leaves, with random decision made in shop as to whether you get “Italian Style”, “Bistro”, “Baby Leaf”, or some sort of iceberg and grated carrot fiasco (will throw away next week) - A cucumber and some tomatoes, obvs. It’s not a proper basic British salad without these sliced and dumped on the side of the plate (for proper British salad, do NOT mix them, they must remain in their own separate piles) - Some kind of horrible couscous pot type thing with raisins in it (that nobody will eat) - Dips (maybe some flatbreads that you’ll burn in the toaster) - Large bags of crisps to put into bowls - Strawberries - Ice (will leave in the car by mistake and find a bag of water in there later)

It was a leg-out-of-the-duvet night last night. But no matter how warm it gets this summer, I *will* still be using a duvet. Even if I have to stick all of my limbs out of it, so just a small piece remains on top of my torso somewhere, the duvet stays 💪
