Midnight

It's hot.

Summer has finally arrived in my little corner of the world. Including 30C plus days with the humidity that goes along with it.

This past week I rediscovered a favourite small pleasure of mine.

My apartment stays tropically hot long after the sun has gone down. Leaving me to sleep with a fan, in minimal attire and only my sheet for cover.

Eventually the fan does its job and the finally cool outside air comes inside.

I'm chilled.

Half awake, I pull my duvet over my cool skin.

Instantly warmth envelops me as I snuggle deeper into the folds of my bed and drift back to sleep.

    God I'm looking forward to sleeping with a doona again! I haven't used one in 3 months and I have no fan...waaaaaah!

  2. That sounds wonderful. Makes me look forward to going to bed tonight, since I'm in exactly the same conditions.
