It is hot (199/365)

The temperature today has been in the high 20s, and it's forecast to stay hot until the end of the week, with overnight lows in the high teens (not that the nights are very long at the moment anyway). This is, on the whole, too hot for me. It's not too bad at the weekends (I spent most of today making a pair of cropped linen trousers, then went to read on the sofa as the living room is north-facing and cool and by mid-afternoon my room was quite hot) but I am not looking forward to working either in my room here, which will be hot again by mid-afternoon, or in my office which is probably cooler but where I would then have to get home in the heat.

At least this evening I'll be going swimming. I wish I was rich enough to have a private lake.
