Well, after last night's heat induced sleep deprivation debacle, I have planned tonight with comparative care.

It's still hot, but not as hot as last night. Nowhere as near. I have had a nice refreshing shower and I am typing this with a cup of chocolaty Ovaltine next to the keyboard (Pass me my pipe and slippers, Rover). I have eschewed anything even vaguely caffeinated since about 8pm (normally I'd be guzzling coffee right up to and past midnight), so I am hopeful that I shall be able to doze off in comparatively short order. A breeze would be nice, for the second night on the trot, the air is completely still and tranquil. It does nothing to dispel the trapped heat, which is inconvenient, to say the least. Nonetheless...

And now a word of advice.

It is a poor idea to phone a friend and leave a message asking them to phone back when you are just about to take a shower. You know it, I know it. I did anyway. And yes, the phone rang while I was in the shower. Some things will always be dependable. Oh happy day.

In the meantime, I am now bone-achingly tired. One last ciggy, I think, and then bed. Before 1 am is dead early for me.

About 6 hours all told, I think. Though I did wake up briefly a couple of times between 4 and 6 am. The first time because it was daylight and I was cold, having lost all the bed clothes, and the second time because it was light and I was ntoo hot, having retrioeved the bed clothes.

Just can't win. ;-)

I could nip round about midnight with a rubber mallet if you like?

...depends what you have in mind...
