It's so hot here right now. I don't like it. I haven't liked the heat for a good few years now — though I remember being a bit more fond of it when I was younger. Ah, youth, and all that.
Spring and summer have definitely got hotter over the course of my life. I remember some pleasantly balmy summers when I was a kid, but I also remember it being considered quite unusual and worthy of note when we would have a "heat wave". Nowadays, it feels like we're confronted with the same "hottest summer since records began" stories every year, and it becomes increasingly unpleasant to even contemplate going outside.
We bought a portable air conditioner a while back and stuck it in our bedroom. It's probably the greatest investment we've ever made. Were it not for the fact that it's incredibly noisy, I'd be a strong advocate for putting them all over the house. Including in the toilet, which is like a bloody oven at this time of year.
Still, even with lockdown supposedly "easing" over here from the beginning of next month (let's see how long that lasts if the virus cases start spiking again) it's not as if I have any real particular desire to go out and do anything outside. It might be nice to go and see my friends — though they were hardly ever available to do anything fun at the best of times, so this whole situation hasn't been much of a change.
Anyway, just felt like moaning about that. I'm off to sit in the air-conditioned bedroom and play retro games until I fall asleep!
