From bedroom window - new glass |
Sunny morning and with the sun comes warmth. Well more than warmth - heat. Temperature hits about seventeen in the shade but in early afternoon that translates to 42 in the direct sun - prudently remembering not to leave the thermometer there too long as the mercury once burst one of its predecessors.
So a good day to do a wash. The washer takes its time with front loading indolence - until there’s a power cut. Duly restored more or less as the sun goes down leaving the towels to dry outside in the dark.
Sundown and dinner time. Just as we finish cooking it the blue gas flames fade into non-existence. There is, of course, a spare cylinder but it can wait until tomorrow morning. Cylinders seem to be in short supply. Normally turn in an empty when purchasing a new one but one local firm has apparently resorted to offering a free full cylinder in exchange for two empties. And acquiring a full one with no empty to trade in currently impossible.
Laundry outside, dinner completed, and we lose the internet. Fairly unusual and presume it’s “them and not us” but time to call it a day.
