  1. I went on my patio to see if it was warmer outside than my place. It’s definitely warmer outside. I’m a shade worshiper.

    My place tends to stay cool until it’s unseasonably warm for several days, then it starts to heat up. I’ve had to use fans since yesterday.

    There are another few days of this heatwave. It’s currently 28° C / 82.4 ° F in North Van but feels like 31° C / 87.8 ° F.

    I don’t do well in hot or cold weather which is why I moved here from Montreal.

  6. I’m melting after going for a walk. 🫠

    I don’t think I’ve ever experienced heat like this before in May. I’m so grumpy when it’s hot, I swore at a crow. 🤬

    Back home with the fan on maximum. I told my fan I love it.
