Too hot, and other excuses

[shewhomust]

The summer weather is not as extreme as it is in other parts of England, let alone parts of the world with continental climates and southern latitudes: we have even had the occasional shower. But I'm a northerner by choice, and it's hot enough for me. Hot enough, indeed, to disrupt my routine: my study is in the attic, and in the afternoon it becomes too hot for me to work there. As I said, excuses.

I do what I can in the mornings, which makes me lazy about going into town shopping. And it's an excuse to spend the afternoon reading, or watching Countdown and trying to keep up with the ironing - but I can only do so much of that before it becomes too hot and steamy for comfort!

So I haven't been posting much here, partly because there's not much going on to post about, but mostly because the heat is making me lazy. Even this post is a piece of laziness, because there's a half-written book post which I keep tweaking and turning round, and am dissatisfied with. Time to complete it and move on...
