caddymanThe real main news of last night, of course, is the fact that we had a huge thunderstorm.
Actually, I think someone else had the huge thunderstorm, we just got the edge of it: a few rumbles of thunder, a few flashes of lightning, some rain. It was good for the garden no doubt, but it was nowhere near heavy or prolonged enough around the Gin Palace to break the humidity. In fact this morning it is far more humid than it was, if a few degrees cooler.
I am not enjoying it at all. I like the sun, but a few degrees cooler and a light breeze would be welcome. I am fed up with feeling washed out, knackered and damp with sweat. I can feel it in my chest when it gets really hot – I just can’t keep cool enough half the time. I am convinced it’s the humidity rather than the heat. If the sweat could dry off, it would cool me down, but no, it’s not to be I guess. Even with the fan blowing, I get some sleep, but wake up feeling stiff and unrested.
Roll on the autumn and the few weeks at the end of the year when the sun/rain/temperature balance is just right.
