Coolant

Day 4 and I had a long lie in. Can’t rush this quarantine stuff after all. But being late meant I didn’t last long on the terrace before the heat drove me indoors. Was so distressed I cleaned a couple of the ceiling windows so of course even more sun could stream in. The last window can stay clarty, it’s just too high up to lose sleep over.
The heat kept building, trans-continental WhatsApp groups were pinging like crazy. The extra was my final contribution - 49.5C in the shade on our terrace is just plain nuts. Or the new norm.
Happily we’re out again now though, in the dark, watching the stars, enjoying what not so many years ago would have been a balmy afternoon temperature!
