A slow start to the day, after a night of fitful sleep, finally emerging around 11.00AM. A day of sunshine and threatening clouds, becoming increasingly muggy, relieved at intervals by a breeze of variable force.
Out for a walk, the closeness of the day proved excessive but, turn a corner and face the breeze, a different and more pleasant environment. Overall the temperature was not that high, it must be something to do with the humidity level that made it feel uncomfortable. As my body thermostat is somewhat erratic, it was a relief to discover that my better half found it rather muggy too.
Objectivity is so hard to recognize and, almost impossible to achieve.
