It has been over 35C (95F) every day for 9 days straight, and counting…
The neighborhood pool temperature is now 33C (91F).
I quit going, to say it is not refreshing is an understatement;
it’s dangerous…
I love to swim, and sunbathe,
but without a pool for cooling down in, nope…
So I am chillin' indoors;
painting and listening to music,
until I can get to the beach!
