Heat wave

Damn this blimin heat wave!!!

Ok so I went many years ago and painted the walls of my room black and even more to my mothers dismay she came home one day to find I'd also varnished the floor of my room black...

Now being the un-educated-in-the-world-of-science-kid that I was at the time, my first thought wasn't..ohh in summer it'll be fine...

Now since about 2004 (and there was a wasps nest right outside my window so I couldn't open it) when I had a first heatwave with a black room, at times I came to realise how much of a fool I was...

I essentially am living in a black body...therefore e=1 (Physics nerds will get it!)

I may migrate to the hallway outside my room as it is at least 10 degrees kooler.

Damn my liking for black!!! Damn this heatwave!!!!
