Another blog post and another ridiculously hot sticky night. Despite my office being probably the coolest room in the house, as I'm typing this it feels like a nursing home where the thermostat is permanently cranked up to 11. Joy. Talk of a drought, hosepipe bans and the proliferation of wildfires means we are probably only days away from calling a national emergency; as if we haven't got enough on our plates already this year, ffs.
Anyway, enough of my whinging (sorry, I do have a tendency to whinge when I'm hot and bothered). I discovered this beautiful piece of music the other day. It's called Evening Time and I think I want it to be played at my funeral. Which hopefully won't be for a little while yet, unless I melt to death over the next few days...
Kolumbo - Evening Time (2022)
Very serene and soothing.
ReplyDeleteUnlike these conditions which are most definitely whingeworthy. We've even resorted to draping an old sheet across the whole of the outside of the (South facing) kitchen window... it really helps to keep the glass cool, but doesn't half spoil the view.
Thanks, C; for what it's worth, it's even hotter today. And Like a fool (& English man) I've been out in the heat of the midday sun taking some photographs in town.
DeleteI feel for you all - not too bad up here but as you say John, we have enough out on plates as it is, some respite please.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece of music but no melting for you yet, we don't want to be hearing it in any other context for a long time to come.
Don't worry, I have no plans in that regard!
