Today was a scorcher. I can take fairly hot weather, but when humidity is part of the mix, I start to lose it. There are people who love the heat, and seem always to be cool even in the face of high humidity, and then there are those like me: liquid and uncomfortable and looking frazzled.
The only way I can cope with the 29 degrees in the house (and whatever the humidity is) is to have a fan blowing directly on me. Right now I am sitting in the living room with the front door open and the fan blowing straight at me, grateful that I don't have to share it with anyone - I mean, really, the oscillating mode means the fan moves away from me for 5 seconds and right now, it's all about me!!
Ironically, it is cool at work, where I'm not. I talked today to someone from the office, and she was mentioning that it was fine there, thanks to the air conditioning. But I am still grateful to be on hols, heat wave and all.
Mits and Pete were here for dinner. I cooked the potatoes for the salad in the morning, made a green salad, and let JR do the barbie. I wasn't up for any other cooking. After we had been visiting in the living room for a while, with the fan keeping us slightly less than boiling, I decided that we could have some chocolate truffles as a treat. I searched them out in the cupboard and was opening the new bag when I realized that I could squeeze it, which definitely wasn't right. Sure enough, when I opened the bag I discovered that the individual truffles, which are little individual mounds about half an inch in size, had all melded together! When I tried to take one out of the bag, my fingers met in the middle - it was like trying to eat cream cheese with your fingers ;-).
So I have come to the conclusion that a heat wave is good for the diet, if not for the exercise program: the only food one feels like eating is salads, and the most appreciated drink is water!!
