See you at 30!

First the blanket now the shirt. London's been quite hot this week with temperatures hovering around mid to late 20s.

I have ditched the duvet for the moment. Current temperature is 26 deg C. I'd be baked in that heat if I have continued using a duvet. Temperature like this is what Malaysian runners would regard as "ideal" for running. It is for me too. That's why I have not stopped doing my 20k pledge almost everyday! I should have covered 540k to-date.

In Malaysia, if I were to stay in the room in that heat, like what I'm doing now, I would have turned on the air conditioning. However, since I don't have such a thing here, I can only ditch the t-shirt. I had a mild sunburn from this afternoon's run. It feels like having an iron next to the face.

"Running at the height of the day with the sun throwing 28deg C at your face and only slapping some SPF 30?...you really deserved it mate!"

When we went to see a play called "Her Naked Skin" at the National Theatre yesterday, the sudden cooling of the sweaty body in the building almost glued my t-shirt to the skin. That was how sticky it felt!

Also celebrated Owen's belated birthday

After attending Winson's 30th birthday do in Fulham today, I came back to shower the second time. Another batch of laundry waiting to be done tomorrow!

You see, there is a cost to global warming. I have seen my fridge stocking up on cold drinks and I have increased my frequency to the bathroom as well as doing my laundry.

I had almost bought a litre of Pimm's two days ago in Sainsbury's if not because I had forgotten to bring an ID to proof my age. Can you believe it, they thought I was under age to buy alcohol?!! But that saved me a good 13quid from impulse buying. So I am not complaining.

I checked on BBC's weather for tomorrow. There's a two-digit number that looked Malaysian. But I have gotten the impression that the forecast is shouting to Londoners, "See you at 30!"
