Bother
It's been hot and sticky today - 32 degrees at the moment, certainly having peaked at a higher temperature. While it doesn't begin to approach last year's canicule, I still had to leave the office early. ("Early" here defined as "6:30 PM.") I just couldn't focus enough to warrant sticking around any longer.
"Bother," as a favorite prognosticator would have said.
"Ils ont annoncé de la pluie," my neighbors told me as we crossed in our apartment building's stairwell. You've got to love that Cartesian certainty: "They've announced rain." As if such a thing could be programmed, like a football match or a day off.
But little matter: I'll just use this time to catch up a bit in my blog, after having been absent from it for some time. Various reasons and all that, none of which really matter.
I'll let you know how that rain thing worked out.
