It's Hot And Humid

 I know that's stating the obvious, but I never realised just how it feels to walk outside in this weather.

My default setting during the summer is as close to the air conditioner and fan as possible. I refuse to move, to go outside, unless I know that my destination is within a few seconds of leaving the air conditioner. Watching news reports of how hot certain cities are, I marvel at people walking around, going to work or just going out. I've been very lucky in that, until last year, I worked from home. Going out when it's hot was an option for me, not something that I had to do. Even now, I only have to go out twice a week, then it's in a car, not being jammed into a train or bus! 

Yesterday and today, however, I've been out. Yesterday, Hannah and I got the bus to go shopping, so we weren't outside that much, but it was still hard on me. Today we had appointments to have our hair done. Hannah said that the hairdresser was close, just a short walk down the road. I believed her until the walk got longer and longer. It wasn't really that far, maybe 10 minutes walk for me! 

I'm glad that I walked to the hairdresser's and back. I thought about getting the bus, but it was quicker to walk! According to the app I have on my phone, I did 3,776 steps. I don't know how accurate that is, but it's a good number of steps!

The hairdresser was very nice. He really took time to understand what we wanted done. When he was cutting the front of our hair, he would stop and ask if we wanted more taken off. Hannah had a colour put through the bottom of her hair. He explained each step that he was taking. 

Hannah took a selfie after we had finished.

I've given up trying to look good in photos.

Tomorrow, Hannah and I are going to Tokyo! 

I'm really looking forward to that! I'll be posting about our trip when we get back!

Just found a new use for a phone stand!
