IT'S HEATWAVE TIME.



Early  morning and a mist hangs over Mellieha Heights, -----looks like it is going to be another heatwave day!


Across the bay boats lie sleepily in the haze.

Thank goodness we live near the sea. An early morning swim or even a dip manages to cool down my body for a few hours at least.
Then everyone prays for a refreshing breeze to stir the languid air as we move into the peak heat time.
I can't use an air conditioner, and although we are near the roof and our small apartment is fairly cool, how I welcome any breath of that cooling air as it wafts through our open plan rooms.
Concentration is difficult, work that is mildly energetic becomes problematic,
and a short siesta seems inviting until the flies arrive!----A stroll in the cool of the evening seems the most promising hope.



I look through the window, and there is the answer at last.----Up up and away,
flying higher and higher into that wide open clear,cool blue,----into space!
Maureen.
