It was so hot yesterday that when I walked out on the back patio...it literally scorched the bottom of my feet...hottsy totsy...no wonder at different times during the day Omar will give the big thumbs down to going outside ....I think the little pads on his little French feet get scorched as well...he needs Flip flops....they are calling for it to get to 105 today...Africa hot without the humidity so the the air feels like an oven and you the roast ...no good so we stay inside....in the early evening we do see people taking a stroll in this heat...it has to be 3 am before it is cool enough for Omar and his Mom to venture out...that is why we are on this crazy early morning routine...up with the sun and sometimes before...and of course by 9 pm we are ready for bed...
hence the early bird special makes sense...so we eat small meals several times a day because it is too hot for anything large...the other night we had cheese and crackers and the night before that we had rice pudding.....your body needs tons of water and you have to make sure you pace yourself and do any errands out very early...most shops open by 7am just for this reason...
anyway I have been trapped a couple of days and painting this custom piece...
fussy fuss....it is on 18st around 18 x 11...and very detailed in places...
glad it is done.....on to the next piece...what I need to perk me up is a couple of days around 85-75
but it will come...around half way through July the rains will start...this will give great pleasure, especially since we just had the roof fixed so no leaks...lol...
