Still Hot

I know, I know, it's hardly the most original or interesting post title but hell, like I mentioned earlier,  my brain is addled. With heat. Because it is STILL hot. Stupidly, uncomfortably, nauseatingly HOT.

I have taken to drinking beer in a desperate attempt to cool my innards (not really, I just enjoy enjoy drinking crispy cold beer on hot days. And nights.). I am waiting for the promised southerly to hit and cool this furnace, masquerading as a house, down. I'm half tempted to run to the beach and plunge into the cool, dark depths, but the double threat of sharks

and local village idiots

deters me.

So I sit here, beer on the bench beside me, frozen cloth on my head, ineffective fan at my back and I wait.
