For tea, I continued this week’s theme of “things that are wholly inappropriate for the weather but that’s what’s in the fridge” by having a roast chicken dinner
I made a bit of an effort with the chicken, shoving half an onion, several cloves of garlic, and a whole lemon cut in half in there. It came out tasting very nice indeed
To go with this, Fear City: New York vs The Mafia on Netflix, about the FBI’s efforts to overthrow the Mob in the 1970s and 1980s

I was always drawing the bedroom curtains in the afternoon to stop the sun heating the room up. Last night noticed the plaster had cracked above the window, assume due to the heat. Fortunately mostly fixed with some No More Nails, just a bit of sanding and repaint needed. I'll use temporary blackout sheet on the window next time.bloggoth

Same thing applies to guns.

Tonight’s reading was more of Eve’s Hollywood
Far too hot here. There’s been no wind to blow cooler air in so despite having had the window wide open, the bedroom is still 26°C
Ah well - at least it’s Thursday tomorrow!
Goodnight all

Morning denizens
Clear blue sky here, with that hint of haziness high up and increasing as it comes down to meet the horizon that suggests a warm day to come. And so shall it be: It’s gone from 19°C to 22° in the last forty-five minutes, and won’t stop till 32°. Same again tomorrow! The barometers remain curiously ambivalent at 1007/1014mB
Last night was not at all cool, getting down to 16° but failing to distribute any of that inwards due to lack of wind, meaning the bedroom was still at 26°C when I awoke, as it had been when I went to sleep. I think it cooled slightly then warmed up again, as I half-woke at one point to wrap the discarded duvet cover around myself, though it had been cast away again when I woke up - which I did on the third alarm, having dismissed two and immediately fallen asleep again, suggesting I hadn’t slept at all well
Breakfast is a dairy-free banana, mango and blueberry smoothie, all the fruit being frozen. It’s tasty and refreshing, though of course I’m still having hot coffee as otherwise nothing at all would get done round here
