It’s getting so warm here. 34 degrees celsius some days. And it’s only going to get hotter as the weeks go on. I sweat away in the classroom because, if we put the aircon on, the children complain they are cold! As a Scot I don’t think I’ll ever get used to Korean summers. We’re going to Scotland at the end of July and I’m hoping it’s cooler than South Korea, although I saw the UK was experiencing a heatwave recently.

It’s so warm I don’t feel like doing much.  We exercise at night time and if you are lucky there’s a cool breeze. I’m trying to be heathier these days. I should walk to and from work but it’s so warm. That’s my next goal though. To stop getting lifts or taking the bus. I feel lazy and the heat doesn’t help. There’s been some bad news in our family recently healthwise and it does make me think I should not take good health for granted.

It was special to me because I had worked at the West Freugh Satellite Ground Station, years ago, tracking satellites…
