        Warm. Pleasant. Not actually raining. Or snowing, sleeting, hailing, blattering, or even graupeling. Somewhat of a surprise for a Welsh summer. :-D

          Here in Yorkshire, it's currently 35°C / 95°F, and set to go to 40°C / 104°F tomorrow. Not what I would call "pleasant" at all. X|

            I have two secret weapons here: 1) This is Wales - we don't complain about warm weather because it's normally p*ssing down. 2) I have a fresh batch of Lemon Sorbet in the freezer to help with cooling and hydration. It's also excellent with tonic water as a cold "drink", and IIRC very palatable if used as the replacement for ice-and-a-slice in a G&T ...

                There is a joke that we tell in Israel about the local situation: A kibbutz member dies, and goes to Hell. The Devil puts him in a room where the temperature is 35°C and 80% humidity. Looking in later, he sees the kibbutz member relaxing - "this is just like my kibbutz in Spring." The Devil turns up the temperature to 40°C and 90% humidity, and the kibbutz member says "this is just like Tel Aviv in the Summer!" The Devil turns up the temperature to 45°C and 100% humidity, and the kibbutz member says "this is just like the Jordan Valley in late Summer!" Angrily, the Devil turns the temperature down to -25°C and 10% humidity. Looking in, he sees the kibbutz member dancing - "peace has broken out in the Middle East!" :)

                    Since [insert grawlix here] Windows unilaterally decided to [insert grawlix here] trash windows networking between closing my laptop lid last night, and opening it this morning (even an ethernet wire wouldn't [insert grawlix here] work), I had to restart my machine this morning, and [insert grawlix here] Microsoft decided now would be a good time to apply updates, so I had a 30-minute window to twiddle my [insert grawlix here] thumbs, I went for a walk. I do this every day, about 1-mile round trip to the station to pick up the free papers. There are [insert multiple grawlixii here] multiple [insert grawlix here] idiots sat in their parked cars and delivery vans with the engine running and the aircon on. For Pete's sake - this is why we're in this [insert grawlix here] mess anyway!!!! Not to mention about 100 people standing in the sun on the station platform, waiting for the delayed London train (delayed because it's limited to less than half its normal speed because of the risk of buckled rails), and they're standing there in the sun with no [insert grawlix here] hat on. Did I mention? Being too hot (and having to sleep on the [insert grawlix here] floor downstairs because upstairs is a full 15C warmer than down here) makes me [insert grawlix here] bad-tempered. Greg, where the [insert grawlix here] is that [insert grawlix here] CCC?
