Not weather to take a sauna. Weather that is like a sauna. It was really steamy today. The minimum temperature overnight was 24°C, and really humid. I took Scully for a walk first thing in the morning, before breakfast, to avoid the hotter middle of the day, and it was already warm and steamy. When I got home I had to take my sweaty shirt off and let it dry in the bathroom while I changed into a fresh one.
Around midday we had a brief burst of thunder and heavy rain, but it didn’t last very long. It cooled things down briefly, but the temperature began climbing again afterwards, and the wet roads emitted steam into the air. I took Scully out for a short walk and toilet and the air was thick, like breathing in hot soup. I was very glad to return to the air conditioned comfort inside.
I tried to find some cicada shells to photograph and show here, but despite looking around on dozens of trees while out with Scully I didn’t spot any. Just the other day I saw three one on small tree!
I had more ethics classes on “Points of View” and I think I’m getting a handle on how to present questions to the kids on this topic. We’ve been having some very interesting discussions about it.
Oh, it’s also the start of mango season! We had a couple of Calypso mangoes last week, and this week I bought an R2-E2 mango, which I just shared with my wife. It’s good trying all of the different varieties, as they’re quite different once you compare them and get a familiarity for the different flavours and textures.
