Busy Days and Hot Nights

Last night was unbelievably hot over here in the UK. I had both windows in my bedroom wide open, and I had the door open to see if it would cool my room down. It didn't work, and it does not help that my quilt is a 13 tog. I discovered that last night (morning?) at 3am when I couldn't sleep and looked at the label. How crazy is that? I've been wondering why it's so bloody hot at night and it's because I have a quilt that's for winter. I thought I was having hot flushes at 23 years old...


You're probably wondering why I sleep in a bed that has a quilt when I'm so hot. It's because I cannot sleep without one. It feels so strange not having anything over me at night, I feel like something is going to come in my room at night and kidnap me or something. Probably dinosaurs. I've always thought dinosaurs were coming to get me at night time while I was asleep after watching a pirate copy of Jurassic Park when  I was 8 years old. You would think I would be terrified of going to the bathroom and getting mauled by a T-Rex.



I read a few weeks ago that The Bloggess cannot sleep without a quilt either, and lots of people said the same thing on Twitter. Glad am not the only one (although I think I'm the only person who fears dinosaurs)


I probably should mention the busy days that are in the title of the post so it makes sense. I've been out 2 days in a row! I've been shopping on my own, which I haven't done in a long, long time. I only bought a t-shirt but it felt good to be independent. Yesterday I went to the cinema. It felt really good to be out enjoying the weather (even if it makes it hard to walk). It's so hot at night that even the puppy cannot sleep! I gave her ice cubes to crunch on and apparently she was awake at 3 am. She didn't wake up at her usual time of 6.30am, my mum had to come down and wake her up at 8.30! She looks very, very tired. I suppose everyone has trouble sleeping when it's hot!
