It’s a hot and miserable day in Suzhou. There was a huge storm last night and today the humidity must be round 100%. The cleaner was washing the stairs when I left the house this morning and yet when I returned a few hours later the stairs were still wet, the bathroom still looked as if it had condensation on the mirror. In fact this morning you could not see the tops of the buildings in Suzhou due to the low cloud.

Slowly the low cloud burnt away and with that the sun was able to crank the temperature up and do it’s thing. I went in search of my trendy sun umbrella, my parasol and I don’t really care if I get funny looks. The sun had a bite in it today and I was not wanting to get bitten. It’s actually better than wearing a hat and covering up too much because you can get the airflow around the heed and the body and you end up feeling cooler.

I ventured out only for lunch and then I came home and put the feet up because I really didn’t feel like doing anything else. I got a phone call to see if I wanted to teach tonight and I toyed with the idea for about 2 mins and then decided .No.

Tomorrow I have a class and today is a day for preparation and relaxation and so that is what I have done. I think I will go for a walk once the sun goes down and head to the park.
