Oh the heat – Wednesday 24th July 2019

Oh the heat

Oh the heat! I’m just not used to this. We’re trying to avoid the hottest part of the day, but even a short walk in the open is leaving me sleeping for the rest of the day. I don’t think it helped that yesterday’s walk was up a steep incline to a castle. I had voted for walking by the river, but everyone else wanted to go to the castle and said we could go to the river afterwards. The problem was, by the time we’d walked to the castle we were all too hot and tired to go anywhere else, me included! When we got to the restaurant at the bottom, I just flaked out under the table and didn’t even care what the humans were eating. Ok, I asked for an ice cream, but Mum said no. It was a bit mean as she had one.

Evenings are best

I think the evenings are definitely best, when everywhere has cooled down a bit and we all sit outside to have dinner. I’ve got the hang of sitting on the bench, but sadly they don’t let me do that until they’ve finished eating.

Today’s excitement

Today I think is going to be spent in the car quite a bit. That’s not too bad as at least we have air-conditioning. We’ve got it turned down to the coldest setting and the fan is on the maximum setting. I just hope it doesn’t stop working as we’d really be in trouble then. On balance I think a woodland walk would be more my thing, but I’m having to wait for that. Humans do have some odd ideas of what they want to do. Dad even thought going to car museums was better than being outdoors. He’s strange. I guess I’ll be able to do more outdoor things when he goes back to work.

Have a great day

Love
