Well after midnight and it’s 32°C up here in my attic.
It reached 33.8°C in here at sometime during the day, and outside the temperature reached 40.1°C
There was a pile of radio programmes to do for our next recording session and so I spent this morning up here doing the music ones. And that made me melt, I can tell you.
After lunch I nipped into St Eloy-les-Mines for some shopping and that was painfully hot too. But there’s something going on at LIDL – fewer and fewer articles in the shop, bigger and bigger gaps. I don’t like the look of this one little bit.
Once the shopping was completed I nipped round to Rosemary’s and we spent a couple of hours having a really good chat and a coffee. It made quite a pleasant end to the afternoon
On the way back, I took the short cut through Menat and Teilhet.
And you can tell that despite the boiling weather it will soon be Christmas. Everything at the turkey farm is going berserk.
The noise, the dust and the stench, you could feel all of that from miles away and thee were thousands of the little perishers all running around.
THey won’t be running around for much longer though. Christmas will soon be here, right enough.
Back here, the water in the solar heat exchanger at 20:35 was 34°C and so even at that time, in the dusk, I had a lovely solar shower. That’s the kind of thing that maks me feel so much better.
So now I have to try my best to go to sleep. But how, in 32°C I really do not know. And to think that it was only 3 weeks ago that we were complaining about the cold.
40.1°C – I ask you …
