We're back. Sometime in the early morning, according to my landlord, who had to take exercise down all eight flights of steps. So sometime later than the predicted 2 am. Around 2 am I put the rats' cage back in usual spot and closed up, basically assuming they had gone to bed by then [they had]. The full moon was right in the centre of the view, Rob and Leece, so it wasn't very dark at all. In fact the light was quite amazing. Couldn't sleep, so sat there and watched a bright light move, wondering whether it was a satellite. Not an aircraft, so for me at least a genuine UFO.
Got to sleep some time after that. It's quite some years since I had to get through a night like that without aircon. First World problems, I know. Many years ago I was in another apartment during a run of 40^C days and only a fan. It being the January holidays, my rat Ari and myself spent the time collapsed on the floor. He got daily cold baths to help, I took cold showers. Ari slept on the bathroom tiles. The temp got down to around 21^C last night. Eventually. I'm just flaked out from the insomnia.
As we say hereabouts, well, at least it's not as hot as yesterday!
