Another steaming hot day. A bit too hot to be enjoyable in my opinion, still I was wearing skirt and t-shirt. Passed a muslim woman who was wearing JEANS underneath her long, black veil. She didn't even appear to be sweaty or uncomfortable! How do they do it? Are they resistant to heat? On a day like today, I'm glad I'm a non believer. I say that now; maybe the boiling under a burka will pay off later.
The evenings are usually quite nice though, up until the point when it's bed time. It's virtually impossible to sleep when it exceeds 25 degrees in the bedroom. It's been a bit breezy tonight though, so I'm hoping I won't be kept awake by the discomfort of hot, dry feet again tonight. I'm going to bed in a minute, so we'll see what happens. Last night's attempt to battle insomnia by staying up all night didn't turn out to be very fruitful. So I'm back at the more traditional way of trying to fall asleep by going to bed. Hope the skippy children in the flat above will do the same.

Heh, funnily enough, the whole burka thing goes back to when women would dress like that to actually avoid the heat. Yeah, it even worked. Madness, eh? Nowadays, of course, crazy fundamentalists make their wives etc wear it to cover up from "dirty ogling men" - I mean, sheesh, in Saudi, I got no problem with it (I tested it out and it works) but in places like London, where it's fucking cold... Wait, it kinda works there too.
Ahh, fuck it, religion is nonsense, anyway. You should check out a flick called Religulous.
