The Only Cloud

Sunny and hot, with blue sky all day, and 34°C. I only left the house to post a letter and buy salad ingredients, mineral water, and a watermelon - provisions that should help us survive the rest of this week, especially tomorrow, which could become the hottest day of the year so far. 

Thankfully the house has decent insulation and outside shutters on all windows, so we can keep it relatively cool. Still, sleeping is difficult in the tropical nights. As I am writing this at 10 p.m., it‘s still 25°C outside, and increasingly humid.
