The heat is (the only thing) on

Post script to last night:

Woke up around three 3.30, too hot to sleep. The power was still off. I lapsed into a prickly, uncomfortable doze till a powerful tropical storm lashed the building, narrowly pre-empting my 6.30 alarm clock. I staggered to the bathroom to discover there was no water again. Unbefuckinglievable! I splashed bottled water in my face and went downstairs to investigate. The generator was still off. No idea when the electrician will be here (he was called last night already). So I’m sitting sweating in a studio that’s inoperable, with deadlines approaching fast. Not my idea of a good time. My boss is due to fly in from Ghana this evening with some new recruits for the satellite Firehouse being set up in Accra. Hopefully there'll be power and water for them!
