I am SO GLAD this summer has not been like last summer. Just yesterday was bad enough. It got to about 28°C where I live, which was not the hottest temperature in Britain yesterday, nor the hottest I have ever borne but omfg no more, please!

(I send all my cooling thoughts and sympathies to those of you in mainland Europe who're having to deal with temps this hot and hotter at the moment. I wish none of us had to deal with this).

I have a cold at the moment, and I had to go shopping yesterday (I didn't go last week, so I was low on a lot of things, so also couldn't avoid it). I did think about getting an online delivery, but knew it would end up being more expensive than nipping into town. So, I thinks, I'll go out before it gets really hot!

It was 19° when I left the house, and for half nine in the morning, that is warm (especially for Britain. For most of my life, that's been a very warm summer temperature). I was out for an hour and a half, by which time it had got to 23° and I was literally dripping with sweat. I had to get changed as soon as I got in because I felt so gross.

I have never been so grateful that my house feels cool right now, y'all. It actually felt cold inside (it was about 19°) compared to the oven that was outside. I suppose I'm lucky in that, while my house is south-facing, in summer the sun's high enough that it doesn't actually come directly through the windows (it's spring and autumn when it's the worst).

Today is around eight to ten degrees cooler and whew am I glad of that (I had to go outside to the garden earlier and I stood there in the breeze like, this is niiiiice).

I hope we don't get any more days like that (although given, well, everything, that is a very unlikely thing, sadly).

In other news:

I got Great Gospel for Aeris! I have never done this before! In fact, I'm pretty sure I've never even seen her third level limits before (I have seen Great Gospel, but on a video on youtube, not with my own eyes on my own video game).

I find it funny that I wasn't really committed to it, given how much trouble I've had levelling her limits in the past, and then all of a sudden I was all, "LET'S DO THIS!" and I did!

I gave her the Shiva summon, which helped with the "Kill X amount of monsters to advance limit levels" bit. It also helps that she only has to kill 80 per level (so 160 in total) as opposed to the bigger amounts for everyone else. I think this is a nice touch, actually. I think it decreases per character (Cloud's amount being the biggest, obviously, because he's (almost) always in the party) and depending on when you get them. By which I mean the order you pick them up, not which disc you get them on (I also got Vincent and Yuffie while Killing Stuff/fighting battles for mythril for Aeris, and I think disc one is the earliest I've ever got them????).

So yeah, that was a thing I did! I think everyone is overlevelled now, but that's waaaaay better than being underlevelled (at which I am An Expert). I have picked up everyone it's possible to get, and I am about to go and beat up Dio for the Keystone so I can go and do the Temple of the Ancients (o boy).

Congrats on Great Gospel! Summons are definitely the way to go for that. I usually farmed in the cave after Midgarsormr dodging, just because there were lots of weak enemies I could oneshot with a good spell.
