Good day to you my dear readers on Hive
How are you doing?
What a day!
Believe me it was a hot day on the weather appreciation compared to the last week of sun rise.
Have you felt this pick on the thermometer?
Some may say that the global warming is responsible in part of the rapid change on the weather condition, but I have my personal views on the causes of these microclimates modifications.

It was crazy hot during the course of the day. After two days of rain and cloudy and windy weather, citizen of Cotonou enter the phase of dry and insects invasion period.
There is a rapid series of climates variations that normally occurs during the last semester of the year.
Modification in the habit of people working in the large urban center has no more consequence than it used to be a decade ago.
I was doing my best during the day time to protect myself in case of surprise rainfall while I am getting business completed for the office.
When duty call, the weather has not enough motivation to stop a team of motivated office workers.
Is it possible to achieve much work when the temperature is rising from sunrise to sunset?
I believe that it is possible. The main condition is to be ready, equipped with a bottle of water and nice head cap.
My day started when the first destination contact gave me confirmation to arrive to collect and fill forms before the delivery of a container bound to reach depot late in the evening.
The distance from the office to the depot was about 30 miles. I went to meet the depot officer with my friend’s car.
On the way back to one of the peripheral small towns, it realized that my smartphone was not in my pocket. I quickly searched the backpack and the back seat in the car.
What was the location of my phone? After 10 minutes of unsuccessful attempt to reach my number, it appeared that the batteries life had given up and the phone could not ring.
I knew that my phone was not at home, so the only place the visit to the depot was conducted were the remaining location to resume the search.
Returning to the depot was luckily a short trip. The car was close to the depot location the moment I found about the missing device.
As the driver did his best to find the best path to return to the depot, I used his phone to contact the staff at the off load garage to start the search before our arrival.

They found my black smartphone smoothly shaking on the wooden pallet stock against the wall.
I put the silent mode to not disturb the meeting. It was a moment of panic because my list of contact is too important at this stage of the professional work I am doing with multiple businesses in the region.
The extra work took over two hours due to the time wasted on the first mission.
As the final task was completed, I could enjoy the rest of the evening at home discussing with the family on WhatsApp.
