The ultimate test

Good evening Blogger world, I trust everyone is happy, well and not sweltering too much during the heat wave we're currently experiencing? I like the heat, I like the sunshine and blue skies but, and this is a very big but, why, whenever it gets hot in the UK does it get unbearably humid too? I mean I was sweating to some tune at work today and I was stood still - I'm a healthy, slim, young(ish) guy; furthermore when I go on holiday abroad it's invariably hotter but it's such a comfortable heat. And trying to get to sleep at night, oh my gosh, what a nightmare.........

Let me take you back to Sunday night - the worst nights sleep we've had in recent memory; and I say we because my boyfriend endured the nightmare too. The previous Friday and Saturday nights we spent together we had no problem sleeping because we were drunk, we went to bed late and we had tired each other out during our epic sex sessions. But with Monday being a work day, Sunday night we took it easy, we went to bed early and we didn't drink a great deal - so as to wake up bright, refreshed and ready for another working week. We should have stayed up late and got drunk again because there was absolutely no chance that we were going to get a good nights sleep.

I wish it was because we spent half the night shagging but that would be a lie, it was simply because it was too hot; and to make it worse I cannot sleep with the bedroom window open. I find it impossible to drift off to sleep when the window is open and I can hear traffic, people, noise, whatever outside - it grabs my attention each and every time. Not that I live on a busy or noisy street, far from it, but still it's one of my little quirks - much to the annoyance of my boyfriend on hot Summer nights.

Suffice to say we spent the majority of the night awake and uncomfortable; and we must have gone through the karma-sutra of sleeping positions from cover to cover with absolutely no avail. Hence, we both woke up Monday morning feeling worse than when we went to bed. My first thought was never again, which either meant sleeping alone in the future or attempting to sort the problem of sizzling night time temperatures; and as I love my boyfriend I chose the latter option.

Monday afternoon found me in Argos buying a floor standing fan, which I've often thought of purchasing in the past; but I've been put off by friends telling me all it does it circulate the hot air and doesn't actually cool you down - let me tell you now this is nonsense. You see during my recent trip to Spain it was hot at night, not as humid but hot; and the villa did not have air conditioning. But in the bedroom it did have a floor standing fan which of course I tried in an attempt to keep me cool and comfortable - they work, end of!

Monday night I set it up in the bedroom, turned it on when I went to bed - it worked, I had a comfortable nights sleep. Admittedly, I was on my own in bed but it worked, so tonight we'll find out if it still works when I have my red hot boyfriend beside me in bed who makes my blood boil with lust and love. That's the ultimate test.....................
