I've felt totally exhausted by the heat, especially when it hasn't really cooled down at night and it's been impossible to sleep.
But we unexpectedly had an hour of heavy rain this afternoon. I was so delighted to see it that I sat on the patio under our gazebo and just enjoyed watched the rain stream down , listening to the heavy drops splattering on the canvas roof. It felt just like being a girl guide back at camp in a tent again, and now the air is fresh and cool and I may actually get a good night's sleep tonight. Don't think I could have lasted out much longer but I fear there's more heat to come next week.
