Phew! It feels like a sauna in the Surrey Life office today - quite literally - as the walls and ceiling are all covered with slats of wood.
I keep half expecting to hear the sizzle of steam as someone in the corner sloshes big ladles of water onto hot coals.
At least if we were working in a sauna, there would be a nice cool pool to dive into next door, but I don't think the people downstairs at Everycare would appreciate us all turning up in our swimsuits ands towels.
In spite of the heat, we're ploughing on regardless doing our best to get through the September issue, which seems to be moving painfully slowly.
It's just one of those months where nothing is quite going to plan - and hence we're more than a little behind schedule.
It's looking like a tantalisingly good issue, but at the moment, the end product seems about a million miles away - and we go to press two weeks today - yikes.
Anyway, I've been here long enough to know that, as always, the whole team will rise to the challenge and we'll get there in the end.
For the moment, though, I need a cold bath...
