I know that most of you don't want to hear this ...

But holy hell it was hot here today ... not as bad as Melbourne, nor Adelaide, where it was in the 40s again, and will be again tomorrow. Poor [livejournal.com profile] anthraxia , I think of you and the lot down there! It was only low 30s in Sydney, so things could be worse, but still quite draining!

I may have to come back to London sooner than I had planned, so that I can strangle the Times's Dominic Lawson. One more chorus of 'Ooh, it's cold, therefore there is no climate change' and I shall be forced to beat him about the head with an atlas, before showing him that London and Calgary and parts of Siberia are all at the same latitude, and then strangling him. If the Gulf Stream stops, he'll be embarrassed about confusing science with alleged left-wing conspiracies, the goose.

Meanwhile, scarves wrapped around heads, two pairs of tights and two pairs of gloves, you lot! Good luck! I hope the gritters make your street and that the heat holds up inside. As for me, I am running out of clothes I can take off and still be able to go out in public ... And if anyone has recommendations for a sunblock that's good for sensitive skin, do share!

Oh, and Happy Birthday [livejournal.com profile] ladydeth12 !

Oh no, poor you! I'd hate to have your weather as well.
I really hate this weather here though. It's been weeks of snow, it doesn't look like it's goin to stop any time soon, and I'm surrounded by 55 degree hills which nobody EVER grits. Seriously. I have to wait until there's been a fresh fall of snow before I can actually make it up and back down the hill, and even so it's terrifying. I'm pretty much stranded D:
Sorry for the rant. Ice scares me and I'm getting fed up. Can I just say both our respective weathers SUCK? lol

It's perfectly rational to be scared of ice, that stuff is dangerous! And bugger! to living on ungritted hills. Do you have enough supplies to be at least stranded in comfort? Things are getting a bit crazy out there!
