It's Getting Hot

 I know that there are very few places in the northern hemisphere that are cool at the moment.  I was watching the news about the heatwave in southern Europe.  I feel the heat is more destructive there as it's a dry heat which can lead to wildfires.  

After last week's rain, the heat has started.  Last night's low was 26C, not that hot but very humid.  I woke up at 3am and felt as if there was no air!!  It was 30C by 9am.  The only way I can survive is to get up early and do as much housework as possible.  I could do the living, dining and kitchen areas later as that area has an air conditioner but the bathroom, toilet and corridors don't.  Just sweeping and mopping takes a lot of effort once it gets hot.  Also I try not to go out too much.  I'm okay in the car or stores but just the short walk to the car to the stores makes me uncomfortable.  One good thing is that we don't have to wear masks anymore. I worry about Hannah, she had to walk form the station to her campus, about 30 minutes.  Mornings or evenings are okay but if she finishes midafternoon it might be hard for her.  I tell her to stop in shops on the way and drink as much as possible.  

Today is a national holiday, Marine Day.  A day to celebrate the ocean.  A lot of people take the chance to go to the beach, which considering how hot it is might be the best place to be!!!
