Keeping cool

11 July 2005

438
Hot. Hotter than Lisbon. Very hot and very, very humid. It reached 30ºC here in Dundee this afternoon, and boy was it hot. I spent the morning working on a translation in the Old Potting Shed. I have installed a fan, and it has certainly come in useful. The Old Potting Shed gets very warm inside, and in the morning the sun shines straight in the windows, which have - as yet - no curtains or blinds to keep it out. The afternoon was spent with Liam cutting the grass and pulling out weeds. We didn't last long, though, as the heat chased us into the house for lots of cold things (yes, I know it is better to drink a hot drink as that makes you sweat and cool down). Later, once the sun had gone down a little, we ventured forth into the garden again, where we stayed until 11pm. Tomorrow Liam becomes a teenager... already!

Glad the potting shed is coming along. As for hot drinks, well a warm G&T doesn't do it for me...

You've done wonders with the potting shed. I imagine with all those windows it would be hot. Maybe a ceiling fan?

If this is what you call a potting shed, I live in one; or at least my library and computer are in one! Happy Birthday to the teenager--what an adventure.

It sounds like it's miserably hot. The potting shed looks great. Happy birthday to Liam!

Sounds pretty oppressive. I look forward to your shot of Liam on his special day tomorrow.
