The Multani hours

It must be the warmth. Every afternoon these days, after the meal, eyelids weigh down, the nerves go numb. I take out my white white sheet, still cool from the cupboard, bring out the afternoon pillow and snuggle in.
A few weeks later it will be impossible to sleep - the hotness will whip in our faces and as soon as we have managed to sink a few inches deep, the power will go. So now to make the most of this. Good afternooon.

so far, power cuts have been good, between noon and one every day. shudder to think about peak summer. i think sheet should be soaked and used.

hands down best solution, soaked sheets. we must also get a phish-phish, that reminds me. have the vertiver chik put up, and the darker curtains. and not even March yet!
