What happens when too many people turn on their air conditioning at the same time? This:
At least, I assume that’s what’s been causing our power cuts these past couple of days; overload. Still, it gave us and our nephew an excuse to go out and sit on the balcony watching stars and satellites, while chatting about all and nothing. That was at the end of a home day, and after a nephew-cooked lasagne which took him several hours to put together due to the heat in the kitchen.
I have to say, I can do without aircon. We have two units here, one in my office and one in the mousandra for some reason. You can’t stand up when you’re up there, and we only use it for storage, but there’s an aircon unit gathering dust. We use fans to blow the warm air around, and that works for us.
I’m not sure what the plan is for today, apart from my penultimate piano lesson of the season this afternoon which will be the nearly last rehearsal for my pupil who will be playing for his dad (for the first time) next Monday. This morning, though, I think the boys are going swimming, and I’ll be publishing a book – you know, as you do.
This photo may not show you how hot it is here right now, but it should show you that the harbour is again filled with boats which were about the only light down there for some time last night.
