DELIBERATELY COOL

Here we are then. Hottest day of the year. In typical style, most people seem to be suggesting that it's 'too hot' and are fanning red faces, despite the office being air conditioned.

I am deliberately cool. I have a fan, a tall glass of water and I'm nowhere near the window. What's more, no-one has wound me up... or rather, I have not let myself be wound up, and everything is calm, under control and thoroughly sorted.

So the conditions are perfect for a belting storm then.

Maybe. I do get a sense that one might be on the way but it hasn't arrived yet.

There was almost a thunderstorm this morning when I discovered my shower is broken. Water was trickling out of the head and the unit was crunching away like a 1950s coffee machine. I decided not to be grumpy and ran a bath.

It's great being deliberately cool. I'm not taking any nonsense today but I'm doing it in a kind of relaxed way. Maybe there's a lot to learn from the hottest day of the year.
