I’m sweating my arse off. When you get down to your g string and you’re still overheating, it’s no fun for anyone.
Someone shoot that big fireball out of the sky and let’s have perpetual night. Bloody thing will implode in a few hmillion years anyway. The horrible bastards.
It’ll also get rid of these little feckers that keep bloody biting me. Christ on a bike, I must be giving blood by the thousand to these gits.
Urgh. Bugger off summer. Give me the warmth of a cold day and the heat of a warm heart.
I’m getting in a cold bath of lager.

Quite amazing really, we spend £££ to get to sunshine places where over 30c constantly, but here in the UK we all wilt if going over 25c.
But then unless having a pool or beach close by it is almost torture like, I am lucky, live in the sticks with my own garden, and usually a few degrees below London highs, but boy it is hot out there.
Was in Madrid one year and over 30c at 10/11pm, yet did not seem to be so clammy, not a weather bod so I guess it must be to do with humidity.
Back to sitting in the shade watching those finches ( I think ) singing away, life ain't all bad when the sun shines.

A few weeks ago, with the lifting of restrictions on train travel, I booked an "awayday" by train from Birmingham to London. That day is tomorrow, the 13th. Arrive in the capital about 1200, train back home is at 2000. Now, I appreciate that, according to the forecast, it's "only" going to be about 29C tomorrow, rather than the mid 30s that you've been suffering these last few days, but that could be made a lot worse by the thundery showers that are forecast from lunchtime onwards. Really don't fancy wandering round for the best part of 8 hours in a waterproof jacket, just hoping I strike lucky and it stays predominantly dry.

A lot of continental cities seem better designed for the heat. More compact, more trees. The car doesn't seem to be king in the same way it is in the Anglo-American world.
Although, in 'Paris au mois d'août', Aznavour sings about the 'blinding light' of Paris in August.

That sounds like one of those things people say that sounds as though they are intended to make you feel better, but are really intended to make themselves feel better.

I think British residents have become a bunch of wimps. LOL. 5 nights with the temperature not dropping below 20C and people are whinging.
I'm looking forward to the first night this month where the temperature drops below 25. I'm in SW France these days and I wonder how any of the people complaining would cope with truly tropical climates, e.g. Malaysia, Thailand or Middle East
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one’s lifetime. (Mark Twain)
