Hot, hotter, hottest

Dear god, can it get any hotter?

I've just been to the gym (which isn't air-conditioned but has enormous fans everywhere) and I'm melting. I expect to sweat at the gym, that's part of the fun, but after just twenty minutes I wasn't sweating... I was Big Chief Running Water. I had to take my glasses off before they were washed away (good point, I couldn't see any crazy arm waving; bad point, I couldn't see any crazy arm waving) and my towel became completely drenched. I had to stop after only thirty minutes for fear of causing a flood.

I came home, had a (cold) shower and I'm sitting here in my underwear... and the sweat is still popping out of my forehead. I have a towel on my lap to catch/wipe away drops and an empty water bottle beside me (note to self, must refill [but not with bodily fluids]). So, not only am I on three showers a day but I'm changing my clothes at least twice a day, I have no idea what I'd do without Colin, he's a lifesaver.

We had another almighty thunder and lightening storm last night so, by rights, it should be cool today - not a chance. In fact it's so hot and humid that my laptop keeps turning itself off because it's overheating. It's now sitting on top of an upside down wire basket (in-tray type not shopping type) so that enough air can get to the vents.

I remember it being hot in Egypt but it was dry there. Here the temperature isn't as high but the humidity....
