A Bit Hot Today

 Everyday's a scorcher.  I don't know why they bother with the weather forecast.  It's hot hot and more hot.  We really don't want to hear about record highs.

Builders, couriers and other outdoor workers have been told to stop work by 11. 

The Acropolis is closed from 12 till 5.


Back at the Navy beach again. Coffee, cold water and a dip in the sea. There is a cool breeze again today.
 This evening's temperature is lower, just a wee bit, and at 8pm it is comfortable to sit and watch our outdoor tv. 

The cicadas are still going strong 
Ants have been out in force.  They are more aggressive when rain is on the horizon but I think these high temperatures affect them the same way. Now that we are in the middle of the heatwave they've retreated. Not completely, but they're not on constant crumb patrol .

  2. Great photo. And you are upright - not a puddle like melted ice cream. Sitting in frost and fog I crave some heat but 1 hour of yours would be too much. I remember burning my feet on rocks - silly johnny foreigner who couldn't work out they were going to be hot. sandals all the way to the water after that.

    1. I did that myself today. I walked outside barefoot and literally burned the soles of my feet. I was walking on burning coals!

  3. Working at night may become the norm in hot summers in the future. Living underground like the ants may also become a thing.
