Very warm dry blowy day, bearable enough when just going out to physio. But in the evening, heaving to the curb three bags of garden waste and one of garbage had me running with sweat. I've never needed two showers a day since I got back from Japan but evidently we're at two showers a day now, unless I go back to sitting on the sofa with beanbags and the fan on. I have vacuumed the downstairs and swiftered the kitchen-- which is not enough: must take a brush to it square by square, ouch-- so maybe I can couch potato until Sunday when it will be cooler.
Don't think I finished anything new last week. All I want to do is read Murderbot, so I finished my reread of System Collapse and then went back to my favourites, All Stations Red and Exit Strategy. Will finish rereading Platform Decay now that I've found where I put it along with the bag for carting my breakfast upstairs. And ohh do I miss the convenience of the bar fridge now we're in 'everything hurts all the time' mugginess. One of those tiktok medical reels had a 'doctor' cautioning seniors not to jump out of bed the minute they wake up because... heart attacks, I think, or was it stroke, from changing position too quickly. And guy, who the hell jumps out of bed at our age? Am recalling an interview with William Hutt, one of (our) Stratford's warhorses, who came out of retirement to play Lear when he was in his 80s. He described getting up as a process of first flexing his toes, then his ankles, then his feet, then bit by bit the rest of him to make it movable, and *then* he sat up and got vertical. I'm not there yet, but I'm also not in my 80s either.
