Just a quick note, it's late Sunday night here and tomorrow is a busy day, cleaning. The heat is bad again, tonight the sea mist was damp and fogging the street lights but the temperatures late at night are still as hot as summer daytime.
I took my swimsuit to church again, had a swim afterwards. The sun was so hot that within minutes of leaving the water to go sit on the veranda, you heat up again. husband had some jobs he wanted to do at home so we left church right after lunch. But forgot to stop at the shop for milk - so I happily offered to take my mobility scooter back down, and have another swim before I bought the milk.
While I was lying on the beach some young men were kicking a ball around. Another young man, different ethnic group, kicked the stray ball back when it went near him. Minutes later we saw this same young man lying in the water, motionless. Paramedics surged onto the beach, dragged him out of the water and began treatment. I was concerned - he'd been OK only minutes before; otherwise it looked like a near-drowning. I saw the rescue people were parked right next to my scooter so I went to move it, so they could get their gear back and forth more easily. Found out it was just a drill. No wonder the response seemed so rapid!
I'd had enough sun though, so I headed to the shop, bought the milk and headed home.
There is supposed to be a cool change blowing through tonight, but when we looked at the satellite map it appeared to have gone through to the north of us. It happens sometimes - a forecast change misses the mark.
Oh, well... another night of sleeping naked under the ceiling fan...
Enjoy your Sunday.
