Local Warming

July 31, 2007

It’s been insanely hot here since the week started. The minimum temperature expected today is 28º C (82.4º F) and we’ve been exceeding 40º C (104º F) by far during midday, which is the shift I’ve been working lately. I feel quite relieved now that I’m off work until September. It might get even worse, so it’s good to know that I can spend that time of day safe at home with the air conditioning – or on the beach!

I’m not going to any special place this Summer. I can’t afford it now that I have to pay the teacher training (thank G*d I don’t have to make a single payment!) Besides, I have to take some exams in September and it’s wiser to stay and use the free time. I’ll stay a few days in an apartment near the beach here in the South of the island but that’s it.

I plan to practise tomorrow, probably in the afternoon rather than in the morning. We’ll see how it goes.
