desperanceWe've been having a heatwave, here in the UK. Not so much here in Newcastle, where it's been dry and sunny but not that warm. I think today is the warmest yet, to judge from my brief and early excursion in pursuit of all the chickens.
Anyway: dry warm still weather, coupled with bank holidays? The media for the last several days have been full of smog-warnings for most major cities. Specifically, warnings aimed at people with asthma and other breathing difficulties. Don't go outside, don't exercise, keep your windows closed, be careful.
Everything at the top of my list, everything involved in the whole sweeping-and-hoovering-and-changing-beds thing? Triggers my asthma. All of it.
I am doing a thing and then taking a break, coming through to tick it off the list before I do another thing.
Even so.
*wheezes*
Fortunately, I have the boys to supervise. They are following me from room to room, looking disapproving. Mac particularly disapproves of all this taking-a-break notion; changing the bed is his Best Game Ever, and he loves to help, and I keep stopping.
