But I do!
Pheweeee!
It’s sooooo hot!
My brain is melting and dribbling out of my ears. I’m not writing. I’m not proof reading or editing. I’m not even washing up! I think that when it’s this hot I’m doing well to exist. That’s my aim – stay alive. Success – go me!
Quite a few people have asked me if it’s hot on the boat.
Yes.
It’s hot everywhere!
I think they mean is it hotter on the boat than elsewhere. That’s a much harder question. If the doors are all open and the canopies are unzipped we can get a bit of airflow and it can be quite nice. One big advantage of the boat is that the windows all lift out. It turns the boat into a piece of Swiss cheese! (Without removing them, they only open a little – see the picture below.)
Today is probably the hottest day we’ve had since we moved to the boat. We have the doors open and some of the canopy unzipped. All windows are open, but none are removed.
How stupid are we!?
The hottest day in a gazillion years and we’ve not removed the canopy or taken the windows out!
I’m guessing that you smart people have noticed a glaring inaccuracy in the opening paragraph of this post.
I wrote ‘My brain is melting and dribbling out of my ears. I’m not writing.’ but obviously I am, or you wouldn’t be reading this. How can that be? Rachel Dodman doesn’t lie (much…).
Mr BBB and I are sitting in the garden of the local pub with an iced soft drink each. We’re in the shade and there is some airflow. Just enough that my brain can work again. And I’m writing this on my phone!
When we get back to The Big Blue Boat, we should take out the windows and remove most of the canopies… but the forecast says is going to rain soon and it will be hot and rainy for a few days. Hot rain. So it looks like I’m going to have to put up with a melting brain and only working when I’m at the pub for a few more days.
What a disaster, having to go to the pub to work!
How are you guys staying cool? Or are any of you in cold places, feeling annoyed at me for grumbling about the heat!?
