Oh but I have really had enough of all this warm now. The weatherman today said it had all gone away but I can't say I've really felt any cooler. On the contrary, the sun was particularly blazing today and the air felt as close and humid as it has ever done. I really can't say I'm liking it very much. Even taking walks along the cliff top to enjoy the slight sea breeze hasn't really been doing that much to ease my squishiness. I'm not much enjoying being a sticky, sweaty creature and nor is it helping the activity of my brain much either. I would really like it to rain, actually properly rain rather than the brief pointless drops we've had so far. Still I should also like to have a brain that worked properly and did what it was told without being enormously self-conscious and insecure. That doesn't really seem particularly likely in the near future though either.

Another thing that would be helpful would be a somewhat more reliable landlady. We happened to be in the same place at the same time today which provided an opportunity to pay some random quantity of rent. She also asked whether she could have a copy of that agreement we'd talked about. Agreement? Oh, you mean the tenenancy agreement? That thing we made up when I first moved in over a year and a half ago and, actually, you haven't mentioned since? Well, yes, but of course now I couldn't remember where I'd put it since I'd moved a whole bunch of stuff in preparation for the new door being put in my flat. I did find it though, less than a minute after she'd left. Heh, anyways, speaking of the new door apparently she's been having trouble with that as there isn't enough room for a full height door in the corner and rules and regulations and what have you. So, no idea then when if or when I might get my two little rooms joined together. Can't say I really care. I'd rather prefer just to be able to get on with things without pointless interruptions, preferably in a slightly cooler environment and with a more proficiently functioning brain. Well, I can dream can't I?

Anyways, I don't really have much in the way of news or insights to report. Any degree of thoughtfulness or positive action has been rather limited of late. Even my usual self-deprecating and depressive angstings have been rather half-hearted. Meh. The only particularly shiny new thing is that I seem to have downloaded IE8, or windows did so for me at any rate. It's slightly shinier and comes with strange accelerator things to make activities on the web that much faster, and which I am particularly doubtful I will ever find myself actually using. Oh well, enough of all this pointlessness. Time for bed and attempts at sleep, and if I don't wake up to find things a good deal cooler and my brain a good deal more lively I'm going to be very grumpy! And then I'm going to write an essay.

Oh well, I hopes everyone else be surviving and feeling a lot less like goo than I do at present. Squishy hugs.
