The week began with rising temperature, humidity and cloud cover. The latter brought a bit of misty rain throughout the day, which only served to raise the humidity further. The clouds also fended off the ferocity of the sun. It appears from forecasts that tomorrow will not be like this. More sun and higher temperatures will settle in for a few days. With the humidity remaining, the 'feel like' temperature will be at least in the mid-30s Celsius. That is somewhere past unbearable. While there will be some cooling overnight, the next two nights show no such signs. This will bring one more reason to have a restless sleep.
Today also brought with it painters who will be doing the outside of the house -- finishing what wasn't completed last fall. The humidity won't be helpful there, either. Sleeping will be disrupted due to anxiousness -- to be up before they are outside the bedroom window painting and trampling the flower bed. It does need the paint job, but I wish they started later. With the extra heat, I do understand that early starts are best <smile>. I just don't like early starts. So, while the sidewalk construction silliness left for other regions, I've had three days without invaders and the painters will be around for some time. <sigh> And they seem not to take weekends off -- which is very disruptive to me. We'll see. They may have some other plans in place from families. One can hope.
Trying to find positives in the weather and activities in my yard helped me choose a song. Recording for the song began on this date 49 years ago. It is said to have been written in Eric Clapton's garden. The lyrics are more upbeat about things than I expect in the next few days <smile>, however the guitar is relaxing. Enjoy!
Here Comes the Sun -- The Beatles (written by George Harrison; from the Abbey Road album)
