Having spent an uncomfortable sweaty night trying to sleep I eventually gave up, I need to work out how to get the air con settled into a routine that will not freeze me to death, or cook me through. I keep trying different settings, but when you wake because your body has decided to self combust you know its just not working for you.
We headed for the gym first thing and attacked the weights, throwing them around aggressively, pretending we knew what we were doing, then it was time for the swim, well it was actually a paddle as I couldn't be bothered to pull off the sweats and change into a bikini just to have to change again to go out to the beach, so I paddled in my shower and then threw on the bikini before we headed for some R & R at the beach at the end of our street. I was expecting the beach to be busy by the time we arrived at 11am but was pleasantly surprised to find it underpopulated, we found sun beds without resorting to threats and settled in for the afternoon, the sun was riding high and the temperature was around 27 with a breeze, personally I believe it was higher as I was very grateful for that breeze as it cooled my skin and saved me from turning into a snotty heap on the sun bed.
I had a conversation with the waitress who kept me topped up with coke zero, which I have now found does not kill the stomach or create pains that are incapacitating, no more diet coke for me, Im a coke zero girl from now on, anyway back to the waitress, I asked why the beach was so quiet and was informed 'its because the summer has ended!!!!', how funny, this must be Autumn then, it can't possibly be Winter because it's not cold, and yes the leaves are starting to drop from the trees, but I put that down to the coptic winds battering it's way through the streets last week rather than a Mother Nature seasonal thing. This means the beach will be mine for the foreseeable, anytime I want to get a bed I just have to walk to the beach and take my pick, no more turning over to tan on both sides to be confronted with a man in his undies parading through the aisles, I have never seen so many boxer shorts before in my life, but now I have been privy to numerous pairs being worn for beach attire, and not all of them bonny!! They are after all an under garment, not a let's have it on display garment.
I decided to make a lovely dinner for the two of us last night, the trouble is once again I am trying to work out how to use a new oven, this one is the most peculiar oven I have ever come across, it wont work unless you put on the Shabbat timer, we found that out just after we moved in, it doesn't have a fan assisted oven unless the grill is on and if you have the bottom heating element on it takes an age to heat by which time you could have gone for a take away and been home before it was ready. So dinner took an hour and half longer than it should of, but thankfully it was lush by the time we ate it. I will have to speak with my good friend google and see if he can come up with some suggestions on how best to use and abusive my new oven, either that or ask Siri......
