It is almost 3pm and I am chipping away at my work for the day.
I am down to about 30 minutes left and then I am going to hit the store and get some food for the week.
Today is a holiday in the States, Memorial Day, but overseas it is just another normal day as far as everyone is concerned. I am working like I do every day and just listening to some relaxing meditation music to keep me focused while I finish up my workday so I can get to my shopping and yoga session. Then a climate controlled ride on my bike in the nice cool weather outside will be in order to get some fresh air and see a friendly face or two. But I won’t go out until after 5pm because the sun is too intense here in the Mediterranean and I like to stay in air conditioned luxury till the sun eases off a bit. Usually by 5pm or so you can go out in the sun without getting burned, but in the middle of the summer it is better to stay out of the sun until 6pm. The local businesses stay open late in the summer and my air con system is running full tilt to keep us cool in the flat each day. So today I will get my shopping done and yoga done and then maybe work another 30 minutes to wait for the sun to sink a bit more. The refrigeration in the food stores are great because they keep them really cool for shopping comfort.
