It is 41.5 degrees C, which is over 100 in the old money. If you hear nothing further from me, it is because I have melted. I make note that it is not yet summer.
Blech! That sounds like no kind of spring I've ever experienced, thank goodness. :/ OTOH your winters can beat mine with both hands tied behind their back. Maybe if we put both our climates in a bag and shook it really well? *sends you cooling winds*
Not long now until you'll be in cool, damp Europe!
PIN! Yes, I would be more than happy to send you or any of my Canadian friends a reasonable amount of heat. It has cooled down today, I am about to face leaving the house. And I have just found some more Paris museums ... YAY!
It will be good to need a coat, yes? I've just hatched the harebrained scheme of making a new wool coat before Paris. Chances are there will be cursing and rage and no actual coat by the time I leave, since I can't even decide on a style. The only sure thing is that there will be a hood. And it will be red. I hope someone else will supply the wolf in the form of handsome, slightly edgy man. ;)
This is a little spooky --- I have just abandoned plans to make myself a coat, which was going to be green lined with red and have a hood. But you will definitely need one! I am relying on the good burghers of London to have one so that I do not have to freeze my arse off in Paris with my light Sydney jackets and Kiwi woollen underthings ...
If you can't get a coat in London I don't know where you can! And besides I've decided Paris isn't going to be freezung, but pleasantly and unseasonably mild.
I'm kind of thinking Narcissa's coat - but shawl collar hood, not sure about that. Also, one Ping is probably at least one and a half Helen McCrories, which would mean a sligthly different effect. We shall see! Quite possibly I'll end up with the same coats as last year, heh. :)
I live in Austin, which is semi-arid. And, yeah, Austin is the same way: concrete, asphalt and an unhealthy addiction to urban sprawl.
Speaking of rain, I was in New Zealand earlier this year and visited Fiordland. My friend and I did the Doubtful Sound overnight cruise and we didn't quite believe the guides when they told us the average rainfall was 21 feet per year. Then it rained all day and 7 inches more that night, and we believed. (Although I still think 21 feet of rain a year is insane.)
