The hot spell broke in Llandudno around 4 in the morning
You could feel it kind of snap back to Welsh time from a muggy sort of Spanish summer like the twang of an old lady’s knicker elastic and the three nurses on duty and the patients with their relatives seemed to let out a collective sigh of relief.
I’ve just slept eight hours solid , waking only to the village ice cream van playing The Third Man as it tinkered by.
It’s my sister Ann’s birthday today and already I’ve missed a deadline to drive down to see her. I’ve just had time to write this , shower and dress. Back to work tonight
I will see her tomorrow
There were two cats in the house yesterday morning . Now we are back to one. the pattern seems to be Bun only returns home on a Saturday for a visit. I still haven’t found who her second owners are.
Yes, the heatwave has broken here, too. And it poured with rain about 5 minutes after I'd put the bedding on the line. Still, the sun came out and it's been a pleasant, warm day. I might sleep tonight!
ReplyDeleteLucky you getting the Third Man tune on your ice cream van. We get the Teddy Bear's Picnic. I know which one I'd rather have as an ear worm! xx
You're so fortunate the heat has broken and gone back to normal weather for your area. We have 3 or more days of 38*C to 39.5*C at the end of the coming week. Too hot!
ReplyDeleteHope Bun and Weaver are enjoying their walk-abouts and are checking in so you know they're safe.
8 hours sleep is good prep for a night shift. Hope all is peaceful.
Hugs!
and wishing Ann a very happy birthday, too!
Deletemore hugs!
That darn commercial did make me cry! XO
ReplyDeleteWork hard, play hard--and the Ice Cream Man. Life is good. [despite everything.] enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThe heat has reduced here, but the wind is rather determined. Well done on the decent night's sleep.
