The Suna day ago

Santorini Egg Chair £124.50 (was £249)
The garden is the perfect place to relax, unwind and soak up the sun - if you've got the right set-up.
Amidst the current hot weather, there's even more of a reason to invest in your garden, and egg chairs have become increasingly popular.
Earlier this month our money team spotted a similar deal on a Homebase egg chair that's been reduced from £199.99 to £99.99.
Dunelm has put a twist on the look that you usually get with this style of chair, replacing plain wood or rattan with a choice of vibrant colours.
Two out of four of the colours were discounted, but it's the jade mist shade - a stylish turquoise and white design - that's back in stock.
Egg chairs are often costly, so if you were hesitant to buy one full price, the £124.50 discount may tempt you for the sunny months ahead.
The Santorini Egg Chair has a spacious-looking seat, with a thick, padded cushion to sink into when you're enjoying a drink or curling up with a book.
Not all egg chairs are hanging, but with this one you can gently swing as you kick back and relax in the garden.
It's not a new addition to Dunelm, but it's remained a bestseller, and has sold out several times.
With the UK experiencing a period of hot weather at the moment, the stock has been replenished just in time for the heatwave.
As we all know however, it's always essential to be prepared for less favourable conditions.
Thankfully the egg chair is weather-resistant thanks to its powder-coated steel frame, which is known to be durable.
The egg chairs aren't the only garden furniture deals in the Dunelm sale, as there are hundreds to choose from before the sale ends at midnight on Sunday (June 22).

To create a tropical vibe on a budget, a pair of patio palm trees now costs £20 down from £39.99 at Gardening Express.

Aqua lungs: how Rod Stewart's underwater swimming may help his singing

Frank Sinatra did it his way, taking to the pool to boost his vocal prowess, and it seems Rod Stewart is singing from the same songsheet. Now scientists say the approach might not be somethin' stupid. Stewart, 80, is still entertaining fans with his raspy vocals and energetic stage performances and earlier this month he revealed that as well as running and playing some football, swimming also played a key part in his campaign to stay forever young. He is due to play the legends slot at Glastonbury next Sunday and has more than 40 other shows lined up in Europe and America this year, and he incorporated swimming into his fitness regime to help keep his vocals fine-tuned. 'We do a lot of underwater training, where the trainer throws a brick into the pool and I have to dive in, push the brick to the end of the pool and come up,' Stewart told the AARP magazine. Stewart said the advice came from Sinatra himself, who told him: 'Rod, the secret to being a great singer is having powerful lungs. Do lots of underwater swimming, where you hold your breath.' Dr Rebecca Moseley-Morgan, the chair of research at the British Voice Association, said respiratory function was one of the main areas to suffer due to age-related changes, leading to problems including having insufficient breath for long musical phrases. But she noted it could be maintained through cardio exercise of any sort, including swimming, while breath management exercises could also help. Stewart said: 'I keep myself very fit. I played soccer all my life – don't so much any more, because I had a knee replacement. And I've always had a trainer – same guy for 38 years.' He has also taken up running 100 metres on a private track at his huge estate to keep himself 'very fit', he said, and is now working on his speed, aiming to break a world record. 'I got it down to 19 seconds by learning how to push off,' he told AARP magazine. 'I'm going to try and do 17 seconds, which I think is a world record for an 80-year-old.' Moseley-Morgan said: 'Thinking of Rod Stewart … he will be feeling the age-related changes and sensibly, in my opinion, is trying to rectify matters. The breath is the power source of the voice, so without it singing is not possible.' Prof Monica McHenry, the director of the speech and voice physiology lab at New York Medical College, said underwater swimming may help people hold their breath, which could help them tolerate the drop in oxygen in the body that occurs when singing – potentially helping them sing long phrases or hold on to a note for a long time. 'The basis for holding a note is having enough air to keep the vocal folds vibrating as you sustain the note,' she said. 'Holding your breath will not help you get more air … but it will help you feel less breathless as you do it.' Dr Keir Philip, of Imperial College London, who specialises in respiratory medicine, said professional singers and swimmers had been found to have better lung function than the general public, with larger lung volumes and stronger respiratory muscles. While Philip said it could be that people who are genetically predisposed to have better lung function are more likely to be swimmers or singers, it was possible such activities boosted lung function. As a result, swimming may be beneficial for singers. '[Stewart] is a very active performer, and that goes beyond just your breath control. It's the cardiovascular fitness, the strength, stamina and flexibility to be a performer,' Philip said, noting that swimming is a low-impact form of exercise that is good for older people and those, like Stewart, who have had knee replacements. 'I also think that if Rod Stewart and Frank Sinatra think it has helped them then it probably has. Their lived experience and expertise is valuable on a topic currently lacking in large [randomised control trials],' he said. But Philip cautioned that the general public should consult with their doctor before trying underwater swimming and breath-holding, noting it would not be a good idea for people with certain conditions. 'Although there is reason to [think] these approaches might help, there is definitely not sufficient evidence to advise people in general to use this approach,' he said. 'If people would like to improve their general lung health, they should prioritise not smoking or vaping, avoiding indoor and outdoor air pollution, regular exercise, eating well, sleeping well and building good social networks.' Not all singers swear by swimming. David Alacey, a renowned Sinatra tribute performer, said: 'I did try the underwater method but it didn't work for me as I felt it distracted from the whole idea of singing. Far be it for me to disagree with Mr Sinatra's methods but I found working on the diaphragm far more effective.' Indeed, when it comes to performing, it seems anything goes. 'Sinatra also developed a little cheat method where he would grab an extra breath out of the corner of his mouth while singing,' Alacey said. 'That's also great tool for singers.'

Dunelm shoppers love 'good value' lamp so much they buy 'another four'

The chic Rechargeable Table Lamp from Dunelm will add a pop of colour to any room in the home Homeowners have discovered a stylish solution to illuminate areas of the home where there are no plug sockets, and it won't cost them more than £30. Perfect for sprucing up the home this spring and summer, Dunelm's Remi Table Lamp is available in four chic colours - sage green, cornflower blue, heather and cream. The rechargeable table lamp takes three hours to be fully charged and will then run for five hours without needing any electricity. The Remi lamp stands out with its attention to detail, featuring a scalloped edge shade and natural wood elements. A flick switch adds a traditional touch to this modern piece. Priced at £30, those planning to use them as bedside lamps can achieve the look for £60, or the Remi lamp can shine on its own on a console or coffee table. It could also add a splash of colour to a desk in a home office. Illuminating the home with various smaller light sources, rather than one main light, creates a cosy and soft atmosphere. The design of the Remi lamp is compact enough to fit almost anywhere, but it still makes a statement, reports the Liverpool Echo. Even better, as it doesn't need to be plugged in, shoppers can place it anywhere around the home without any issues. This also means no unsightly wires or cables, instead offering a seamless and sophisticated look and feel. If the colours of the Remi lamp don't quite match your style, Next offers a similar Rechargeable Wall and Table Lamp for £45. Available in yellow or pink, customers have expressed they are 'very pleased' with their purchase. The Iris Table Lamp from Graham and Green also sports scalloped edges. Its classic design includes a natural linen shade that features a vintage scalloped edge accented with a blue trim for extra flair. Dunelm's shoppers have commended the packaging of the Remi lamp and noted that for £30, it is 'well made'. A customer reported that the lamp is 'very pretty and easy to use'. One five-star reviewer commented: "Looks great, lovely colour and is a decent price. However, it isn't super bright - hence the 4*. Good for added ambiance." Nevertheless, a customer withdrew a star from their review, stating: "Very pretty little lamp. Light level similar to a candle. The switch is a little temperamental however, so needs to be turned on and off carefully." Another satisfied buyer awarded five stars, saying: "Gorgeous little lamp. Looks lovely on a slightly dark landing." And someone else picked up multiple lamp, writing: "Loved it so much bought another 4! ....2 more for me and 2 for my daughter." The Remi Rechargeable Table Lamp is available to spruce up home decors for £30 via the Dunelm website.

I'm surviving the UK heatwave with this lifesaver handheld fan – on sale now for £14

THIS little Amazon fan has seriously saved me in the heat. I picked up the Jsdoin handheld fan a couple of weeks ago, and at just £13.99 on sale, it's been one of my best summer buys. Jsdoin Handheld Fan, £15.99 £13.99 Amazon's full of hidden gems, and this little fan showed up just in time for the heatwave. It's on sale for £13.99, and honestly, I don't know how I'd be getting through this heat without it. I grabbed it on a bit of a whim, but with an amber heat health alert for England in place, it's been a lifesaver. If you're like me, your sweaty, slightly desperate future self will be very grateful you got one while it's on offer. But, for something so small, the Jsdoin fan is shockingly powerful. It has five speed settings and throws out some serious airflow, but even on the lowest, it takes the edge off. When I'm on the train and the air feels thick and still, this thing is a lifesaver. It's quiet too, so I don't feel awkward using it in public, and it doesn't rattle like cheaper fans I've tried before. *If you a click a link in this article, we may earn affiliate revenue.

There's even a slot for aromatherapy tablets if you're into that (one's included, though I haven't used it yet). It charges via USB-C and lasts way longer than I expected, up to 15 hours depending on the speed setting. There's no annoying slow fade-out either; it holds its strength until the battery's actually done. I really like the LCD display, which shows exactly how much battery I've got left. I always know when it needs a charge and don't get caught out when I need it most. It also folds up, weighs basically nothing, and comes with a lanyard if you want to wear it around your neck. This fan isn't the only solution; we've also put together some cheap tricks to stay cool during a heatwave. But if you want something simple that actually works and doesn't cost a fortune, this one's hard to beat. I'm not the only fan (pardon the pun) it's had thousands of 5-star reviews and over 10,000 sold in the past month. One shopper praised, 'I first got one last year when in the hospital and the windows were rubbish, and this fan worked wonders. 'So when we had that short week of heat, I bought my children one each. Worth every penny.' Another agreed, adding, 'Pretty powerful for a small fan, plus loved the stand and the way it folds.' If you're roasting on the go or just need something to make the heatwave feel a bit more bearable, this fan is absolutely worth £14.
