And the heat goes on.
We've been hit by a heat-wave and that's all we can talk about. The 'top-stories' in the news all involve the weather - how hot is it going to be, are we going to break any records? Never mind what goes on in Liberia, Iraque and Indonesia, to name but a few countries with problems greater than not breaking records. The only paper with a vaguely different angle, is The Independent, urging Vladimir Putin to sign the Kyoto-agreement.
I don't care about the weather anymore. It's hot, it's humid, it's not nice - I stay indoors. That's all I need to know by now. I don't need some depressingly cheery woman sitting by the water's edge somewhere in the English countryside, to tell me over and over again that "it's going to be a scorcher" and "the mercury is rising". I know that.
Oh well. Computer still out of order, so I'm wasting my savings in an internet-cafe.
Soon I'm off to a floatation-session - I do hope they have air-conditioning.
