I haven't melted

hilsA couple of people on Tumblr reached out because the UK heatwave was on the news pretty much everywhere and they wanted to check I was okay.
Figured I should let everyone know that I'm still alive!
The heat was absolutely insane on Mon and Tue. It started to cool down a bit on Wed and is back to normal now.
I'm lucky that I had Monday off work so I was able to stay inside at home, and on Tue (the worst day where it was 40c in my city) I was at work most of the time in a nice air conditioned office. The drive home was pretty brutal but it only took 20 mins as the roads were pretty clear.
It's been hard to sleep because of the heat even keeping my blackout curtains closed and blasting a fan. I'm hoping now that it's cooled down a lot (it's only 17c today) that I'll sleep better tonight. The house is still retaining a lot of residual heat though, which is what British houses are designed to do. It was 25c in the house when I went to bed last night and it's dropped to 23.5c today. That's with various windows open so it's still a lot warmer in the house than it is outside.
