Oh the world must be in total disarray! Ian has kept his promise for TWO entire days! A knighthood is in order, I must say! But if you shall pardon me for just a moment, I need to dismount this high horse to continue with my script for today.
Listen, as some may know, when you reside alone and have scant contact with other humans during the span of a day or so, one must gather the fruits of praise where one can, correct? And thus a “whoopeeee” for me!
The toughest moment is always the start, and getting that first part of a run out of the way is the turning point to finishing off the exercise torture regime, but I have to admit that the energy obtained from this morning ritual is akin to a vampire slurping his way back to peak form. That is until the vampire calls his 18 year old child and finds out that despite the fact that they are still a loaf of bread most days, they still do 5km just for fun with a friend in Japan whilst the raging infernos of Mt Vesuvius ooze molten magma throughout my lungs in roughly 1,5km … I am shamed and shall now bow my head in disgrace.
But I did attempt to reconcile this shortcoming by erecting two of the posts for a pergola extension on my terrace! Ahhh, there I am ,,, back to being the god-king! (Let me have this, ok??) You may wonder as to why I would undertake an extension upon my tiny domicile considering the situation at hand where the land is not under my possession and life here is but a temporary blip in time. Regulation of temperature is the answer. The heat has finally been turned up here in Czech Republic after a rather extended spring, and having an entranceway of glass facing a lengthy setting of the sun from noon-ish until 21:00 tends to baste my pasty white arse in the afternoons and evenings as I park that same backside in front of a fan to cool the sweat-glazed flesh. I opted not to install an air conditioning unit right away, as I do not particularly enjoy the constructed coolness they offer, and to be fair, as long as the curtains are drawn, I am saved from scorching myself under a magnifying glass of windows … however, anything above 21°C begins to annoy my senses. Thank the gods I live alone and can strip down to the bare essentials of modesty and not be judged in my own home! I will take these small condolences when I can.
