Hot diggity

The mercury topped 35 degrees and summer is on its way. This period heralds the return of familiar aspects of life such as:

* not being able to shave with an electric razor as skin is too clammy and hairs pull
* over exuberance at a favourite pop song in the bathroom mirror bringing on a torrent of sweat
* ditto with any fleeting moment of bustling efficiency or household chore
* chocolate melting before it can be consumed
* regular tepid showers and changes of t-shirts and underwear
* electricity expenditure skyrocketing due to air con, from 20 dollars per month to 30
* the breakout of fetching vests
* a dozy somnolence taking over street life

I like high temperatures and Maputo, with views like this, I like you.
