Heat
Heat, and the air refuses to flex.
The plants are bruised green,
and invisible birds cry out
as the sun curdles the sky.
Heat, in planks of sunlight,
and not a shadow anywhere,
and I’m enthralled by the sound
of ice cubes in lemon tea.

I didn’t sleep at all last night (well, I did but only for 5 hours and a few minutes according to my Fitbit). It’s just too hot. And lack of sleep turns me into a stroppy toddler.
Hope your day goes well, Peter.

I woke up at midnight, too. Got up and blogged for a bit but then told myself I just had to get back to bed, to be any good for work.
I’ve still got my winter duvets on the bed – I need to buy some summer duvets but they’re so expensive I’ve been putting it off. John Lewis have a 3-tog goose duvet (They’re £110, is why I’ve put it off!).
Anyway, the upshot is that I’m sleeping but kicking the duvet off and getting bitten.

This is the one that I bought at John Lewis last summer. I needed something lightweight.
