The cold water coming out of our faucets here in Saint-Aignan has a temperature of 83.6ºF. That's warm enough to take a comfortable shower in.
We are back to sleeping on the sofa in the living room (me) and the bed in the guest room (W.) The loft overhead, our family room, is an oven.
The temperature outside at 6 p.m. hit 102ºF a couple of days ago. Today's forecast: 95 to 98 ºF. It's about 93ºF up in the loft now (5:30 p.m.).
At one time you had a single bed down by your foyer- that would be another cool spot. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteWe still have that bed. It's in the garage. I've thought about bringing it out to the entryway, but I'm doing fine on the sofa, over which there's a big window I can open.
DeleteWow back to square one. Hope this heat wave doesn't last.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to see that you have to endure more of this. I see that you're in for something like five more days of super high heat.
ReplyDeleteAnd then we'll see what August brings.
DeleteSame heathere Ken, we finished combining the Winter barley on Monday, poor harvest with all the dry weather. As ever we look forward to next year! Been sitting with our feet in bowls of cold water bowls this afternoon! 😅😅pats🚜
ReplyDeleteI'll have ro try soaking my feet in cold water to hold the heat level down.
DeleteAs Mme Selingue, my concierge from 1973-74 would say, ce n'est pas la France "de jadis, autrefois, dans le temps." I'm so sorry you and Walt have to live through this as well as our mutual friend Claude in Paris. Stay as cool as you can.
ReplyDeleteWe a doing our best to avoid getting un coup de chaud.
DeleteYour poor dog!
ReplyDeleteWe are not taking Tasha out on afternoon walks because it's just too hot out there. Morning walks are fine.
DeleteI apologize for all the typos in my posts and comments.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you have at least one room with a window air conditioner. Are they illegal in France?
ReplyDeleteI can't remember ever seeing a window-unit air-conditioner in France. What the French do have is portable AC units on wheels that you can roll around from one room to another. French windows, by the way, are not like American ones, which I've heard called "guillotine" windows. In our house we have "sliders" that we had put in when we came to live here 20 years ago.
