Waving, Post #13
May. 14th, 2024 01:06 pmWell, it's been a while. I've been drowning in work and then exhaustion and then work-with-exhaustion, but now I'm to a lull.
I have so much to do on my house -- the roofers are coming Friday, la la la -- but my body is telling me that it's time to write and rest and read in advance of my holidays coming up next week. So that's what I've been doing for the last couple of days -- plus Pilates.
(As an aged person, I can report that a 5:30 pm Reformer class on Monday and an 8 am Mat class on Tuesday, with barely 13 hours of recovery, is A Lot.)
The other thing is that the subtropics have been ungodly hot (but with relatively low humidity), just awful brutal weather, and now the weather pattern appears to have changed into the more usual subtropical hellscape. We had storms yesterday and today, and when I walked outside with Miss Adventure at 6 am today, the humidity and heat hit me like August.
Dislike, dislike, dislike.
So let me ask you -- do you have any favorite characters who like summer heat? (I'm defining that as above 85 degrees Fahrenheit, 30 degrees Celsius.)
I think Anya in all my 'verses wouldn't mind it for short periods of time (Giles in all my 'verses would hate it regardless). Lindsey and Fred in the Deep Ellum stories wouldn't mind it for short periods of time.
Are there any incarnations of the Doctor who would like heat? Maybe Fifteen, who's appeared in a thin short-sleeved sweater in the first ep of this season.
None of my detective faves would enjoy that kind of heat, I think. (Lord Peter canonically retreats to lounging in the shade, per the short story "Talboys.") Sherlock's Mycroft would loathe it; his Anthea in my fic wouldn't mind a day lying out on a Greek beach or similar, but no more than that. I cannot imagine Bertie Carvel's Dalgliesh in a heat wave. Stephen Dillane as Karl Roebuck generally wears 3 layers in the Kent chill, but I still don't think he'd like heat.
Hugs to all, and may you have heat or cool as you please in the upcoming weeks.
