Heat

At the moment we have this hot wind named Lou. It comes straight off the desert and really slaps you in the face. It also dries out your mouth when you are playing football.
Heat does funny things. A guild of small insects have decided it is nice to meet just outside my door, so when I go out of my house I get a face full of flies. There is also the occasional massive grasshopper to spice things up.
To be honest I really don't know what I would do without the swimming pool. If I didn't have my daily routine of cooling off by racing the little kids at swimming and pretending I'm incredibly fast I think I would probably have freaked out in the heat and smothered myself in cold mashed potato.
Last night I was too hot to sleep so I had to get up at 4am and move out onto my balcony with my duvet. I didn't sleep very well there either.
Cold sensors are like everything else in the body though, they need excercise, and right now they aren't getting any, it's absolutely ROASTING.
I'm looking forward to getting to Goa, it will be cooler there hopefully. Did you know I'm actually about 90km away from the hottest place in India?
