Clouds have appeared. Last night, it rained in a trickly fashion for about three minutes. This morning, the sky is festooned with hazy white things. It is a bit oppressive; there are a lot of the hazy white things, and no shadows are currently cast. The sky is heavy. The air is sultry. It is a bit cooler than yesterday.

Sweat collects on one's philtrum still, and at the roots of one's hair. Yesterday, at the hairdresser's, I had my hair washed in cool water and that was most wonderfully refreshing. They say, don't they, that if you keep head, feet and pulse points cool, the rest of your body will cool down.

Sometimes, when one walks along, one walks through coal-seam like wafts of smell: pungent rape seed and other stuff whose name I don't know. Food goes off very fast and becomes a stinky goo. I froze t'son's water bottle and by the time we got to school, it had already melted quite a bit. He says that 'a sausage of ice' forms in the middle.

To people who puzzle over my weather posts: I started these earlier in the year as a means to get myself writing, to limber up the observational muscles. Also, to provide myself with weather background for use in fic, specifically for use in HP opus. And by now it's become a sort of ritual. :-) So far, I have 37 memoried weather posts.

According to the Kangaroos of the Great Australian Desert, licking forearms is a Good Wheeze. I haven't QUITE done that yet - but pouring cold water fom wrist to inner-elbow (where the skin is thin) certainly helps. (Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood)

PS: I added a rather downmarket note to your paparazzi-meditations of a few days ago.
