Too Darn Hot
Wednesday, July 1st, 2015 04:08 pmI am remarkably tired; I can barely keep my eyes open and it is, as I type, just a few minutes before noon. I shall be wandering down to the canteen shortly for lunch, before coming back up here at which point I shall probably finish writing this entry.
It‘s the damned heat.
Despite having a ceiling fan and a large fan on the chest of drawers in the bedroom, it remains too hot to sleep properly. We have air conditioning in the bedroom, but don’t like to run that for too long (we noticed a couple of years ago that there comes a point where it decides you must be cool enough and starts pumping warm air into the room!). We ran it for maybe an hour last night before I went to bed. In addition both fans were blowing. To be fair, ,when I walked into the bedroom, it was lovely and cool, but within 5 minutes of switching off the air con, it was too hot again.
So it took me a fair old while to get something even approximating sleep. I must have dozed off for a few hours, but woke up at 4:50. One trip to the smallest room later, I was back in (or rather on) the bed sweltering. The following two hours were spent in and out of a sleep littered with fragments of busy dreams. In all, then, about four and a half hours of low quality sleep and I am absolutely cream-crackered.
If this continues, I shall have to sleep in the bath with the shower turned on.
