Another day of in-house sheltering. Today I have discovered that my house is really quite good at keeping the temperature down – it does feel a bit overly warm inside but it’s nothing compared to outside, which feels like the tropics at the moment. Meant to be even hotter tomorrow at 35°C – unheard of for Newcastle and should absolutely smash the temperature record here 😲
Plenty to be getting on with inside anyway. Lots of day job work this week and some more boxes to sort out.
Other than a very early morning run I am not braving the heat outside for the next few days. I have started doing ‘house stuff’ again now that the months-long fog of game-making has lifted for a few weeks. I have many tens of boxes in the garage that need ‘sorting out’ and today I tackled the first of them. ‘Sorting out’ is a difficult job with my hoarding tendencies so it’s a slow process, but I do dream of having a non-crammed house some day.
I have also just prepped a ton of salad for the next few days. It’s normally not my favourite but it’s lovely in the hot weather.
…and hoping to make it a long one if I can. Forecast is claiming super hot weather on Monday and Tuesday so it’d be nice just to doze. We’ll see what comes in with work next week.
Geth is on leave from this evening so it’ll be nice to have him home for a few weeks as well. It’d be good just to be quiet for a bit.
Day in the house today so I’m doing a bit of tidying, have typed up the very beginning of a new game file and am trying not to spend too much time reading the news.
Running-wise the training plan has taken a back seat for the last week or so for a couple of reasons: (1) I still don’t feel fully recovered from Edinburgh and am a bit tired in general due to my new meds; and (2) the last few days have been way too hot to get any serious running done. Hoping the weather will cool down (and that life will calm down!) before too long.
I’ve still got quite a bit to do on my game before the deadline next week, but hopefully the transcript-reading will speed up soon. Once you’re a few testers in, they start (mostly) repeating the same already-fixed bugs 🙂
Will try to get out earlier for tomorrow’s run as today’s was a bit hot for me. I like the idea of summer weather but I’m not very well adapted to it!
Other than a spectacularly wet morning on Monday, it’s been really hot and sunny for my morning runs recently, and I think I’ll be switching to full-on summer gear soon. I’ll probably end up taking multiple different options for the marathon itself, because the weather in Edinburgh could be anything.
A little bit of extra time today has meant a bit of gaming this afternoon, so that’s been nice.
Out and about a bit more than usual for a Sunday today. In addition to my recovery mile, I went out for a nice walk in the sunshine as I needed to drop off some extra water for Geth on his long run. It was warm out and lovely to mooch along in shorts and t-shirt – it feels like summer is beginning.
Looking forward to a nice week ahead.
Another week of being off injured, another week of marshalling. Bit of a difference in temperature between this week and last! From an almost-summery feel to a risk of being called off for ice… It did go ahead, though, unlike a few others in the area.
I may well be volunteering again next week, depending on what the physio says on Thursday. We’ll see!
