Hot doorknobs
[Hacked notice. A couple of people have reported to me that when going to the Symi Dream, site, or when searching for it, they have seen a page/notice that says ‘This site might have been hacked.’ I checked with our hosting company who ran scans and did their own checking and their reply was “The generic malware scan did not turn up any suspicious files. Based on that and Firefox and Chrome loading the site without error, I would say the issue was with the users that reported it. A google search did not turn up any warnings either.” If you get a similar ‘possibly hacked’ massage, it may be that you have some bug on your browser. All seems fine here. Thanks for letting me know though.]
It’s 11.30 in the morning and in our courtyard, at the coolest point, it is 38 degrees. It was 28 at 5.30 this morning when we went out for a walk. Remember to cover up, use sun lotion, drink masses of water and wear a hat. Says he who spends all day trying to avoid the sun, never wears a hat unless going for a walk in the sun, but does drink at least three litres of water every day, even in the winter.
I called into a friend’s house yesterday to run a little errand for her. Her metal gate and saloni door face west and had been in the sun for quite a while. The gate was not a problem as I opened that with a key, but while opening the saloni door, I put my hand on the brass doorknob and… Next time I will take an oven glove. That’s all I’m saying.
Having been writing all morning, and feeling a little brain dead from the heat and work, I thought I’d just share some photos today, A few more from Cyprus, Paphos to be exact. It was about 40 degrees when I was there wandering around ancient ruins and looking a bit like one myself. There was time to sit and watch the seaside world go by though.
