Too hot to sleep

Everyone was begining to ask, "Will summer ever come this year?" after May and June were dry but cloudy. It has been nice for a couple of weeks now and has gone from being cloudy and around 18 degrees to just shy of 30 degrees now. Yesterday was nice and sunny but clouded over at night.

We left the windows open on the catch and hoped it would be enough to allow a breeze and keep the bedroom cool. Being on the lower floor we benefit from it being much cooler. But it was one of those nights where the air is so still and sticky and there is litterally no breeze. Even if we had a fan on it would only be blowing around warm air.

Neither of us slept. You lie there and are tired and want more than anything to fall asleep but when you are sweating in your own bed you cant finally doze off. Dusan, I thought was asleep but actually he was sleepless too. If I had known I would have grabben the air conditioner from the lounge and plugged it in. We have problem in that there is nowhere we can hang the exhaust hose which if its not out of the windwow the unit makes the room warmer not cooler.

Tonight I have managed to carry it (It weighs a ton) to on top of the chest and have it cooling the room down now for me. :-)

When I woke today I did some work from home then jumped on the train to the west end to go to the gym. I couldnt believe how sticky it was. You couldnt help but perspire. Still it does make you feel happier when its warm than when its cold.
