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 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 ladydeth12 !

You can vent anytime.

I am sorry it is so uncomfortably
hot where you are.
I can relate. This past summer
I kept the custom blinds shut
in my home to keep in the a/c.

On days that it was so very
hot and humid, I would walk
around in my undies.

The weather seems to be so
extreme. Nothing moderate.
Just mho.

Take care of yourself.

No, you're right, the last decade has had more extreme weather conditions than any other recorded decade.

And undies days are the perfect solution!
