I have been doing some creative writing in my spare time to keep my mind active. Here’s something that I wrote on August the 20th.

Big droplets of water splash off the large green leaves of the plant outside my bedroom window.

It’s hot in here. The rain has cooled the air outside, but it’s still so warm inside. My skin feels clammy, sticky with sweat from the day. The curtains are open to let the breeze in. It’s wishful thinking, as there’s no movement of air.

As I lie in bed and wait for it to cool down, I munch on the dried fruit and nuts from my muesli. There are ants in the muesli. Tiny brown ants, much smaller than the ants that got into food in my kitchen in Australia. I think I may have eaten a few ants, they didn’t taste too bad. The ants have realised that there’s nothing sweet left in the muesli so they’re moving on. Marching out of the plastic container and across the bed.
