Wot no sunshine? Just when I'd worked out how to keep the house a bit cooler. Typical! ...Although it seems to be hotting up a bit now.

When I woke up and heard the three tiny pitter-patters of rain on the sky-light I was really happy because I thought I wouldn't have to leave the house purely on account of its oven nature. In fact, it might mean that I'd actually be able to go into our sitting room and stay there for a few minutes without feeling like I'm entering a sauna every time I walk upstairs.

But then I realised I didn't have an excuse for not washing up anymore which has been my excuse for the past few days as it has been much too hot in our kitchen (which is part of our sauna sitting room).

Oh, I've just realised that I've been happily managing to cook, as well as spending much time devouring food and drinks...but not wash up. Interesting.
