Not my favorite time of year ...

[ellarien]

It's 11.40pm. It's still about 90 degrees out (My preferred way of finding out what temperature it is outside is to check the UofA webcam), and we've had ten days in a row of 100+ temperatures and almost cloudless skies, with daytime humidity around 10%. Humidity seems to be up a bit tonight, but not enough to notice, and the monsoon is still somewhere off the end of the long-range forecasts. I put off grocery shopping until almost sunset, when it wasn't exactly cool but at least the shadows were long, and spent most of the afternoon being lazy.

Tomorrow I have to do laundry, which involves trapseing back and forth to the laundry room at least three times with armfuls of stuff -- the last time with hot fresh-dried stuff. (I don't have anywhere to hang a whole session's worth of laundry to air-dry, so daft as it is I have to use the dryers for most of it.)
