And it is still hot (201/365)

[white_hart]

I suspect that my ground-floor office in a building with thick concrete walls is a better place to spend a day when temperatures were over 30C (31C according to my car on the way home just before 7) than my house, which gets very hot, especially upstairs.

I also decided that, given that insofar as we have a dress code, (a) I set it and (b) it's "No onesies" in normal circumstances and "clothes" in COVID times, knee-length cotton twill shorts and a button-down shirt definitely counted as appropriate officewear, hairy legs and all. I have to say, I rather enjoy just how masc a look that is, particularly finished off with rainbow Teva sandals and a Panama hat (with a rainbow ribbon). Or a recently rebuzzed buzzcut-with-quiff, when indoors.

I think I might go for a swim after dinner.

It sounds a very good look. When I went into today one of my male colleagues was wearing exactly that: as he said, if it isn't shorts weather today, when is it? A female colleague and I had considered it, but I felt my walking shorts were a bit too short!

It would be the perfect evening for a swim tonight, I hope you got one.

Yes, it feels very like extreme-heat menswear, which is probably why I like it.

I did get a swim, and it was wonderful. My thermometer said the water was about 23 degrees!
