I thought we had somehow skipped the rainy season (Dear Japan, FYI: A week does not a rainy season make, Love: The British Chick) and gone straight to ridiculous heat. It got to about 29 degrees or so today, and it's only going to get worse. Even though I left all my windows open today, I got home to a 35 degree living room.

Luckily for me the weather has just broken, it's absolutely pelting down and has taken the temperature to a much more manageable level. The air isn't that horrible sticky stillness it's been all day, instead there's a nice, brisk breeze. Even luckier for me, it decided to do this half an hour after I walked home instead of half and hour before I had to.

My whole apartment smells lovely. I'm roasting a chicken breast and potatoes in some rosemary.
