#oneaday Day 943: Surviving

It's still oppressively hot here, but I managed to drag myself out of the house to do a food shop earlier, so at least we won't starve. Anything more strenuous than that feels very much beyond me right now, though, so I've been spectacularly failing to re-establish the gym routine I've been hoping to re-establish.

Still, at least it's not just me; everyone seems to be suffering a bit right now from the heat, so I don't feel too bad being absolutely exhausted. I do feel a bit bad for the cats, though; they look absolutely fed up with this weather right now, and both of them have actually taken to coming and sitting with us in the bedroom when we have the air conditioner on. Historically I've only known cats who really enjoyed baking themselves in sunbeams and on heating vents; our cats are the only ones I've ever known to specifically seek out air conditioning.

Nothing much else to report for today. Drove from Southampton to France and then on to Poland in Euro Truck Simulator 2 this evening, then got jammed in a gate at my final destination. It's their fault for "respecting their heritage" or whatever with an old crusty gate rather than one that is any way practical for a truck to get through. I did at least manage to dislodge myself eventually, but if they thought I was going to reverse park after dealing with that they could very much think again.

Off to bed and an air-conditioned room, I think. Hopefully tomorrow will be cooler. But we all know it won't be. Stay safe, all of you, and drink plenty of water or whatever!
