blamebramptonBut 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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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 Birthdayladydeth12 !

ETA: just looked at the weather channel and it's -18c with wind chills of -24c. Perhaps I can send you a blast or two??

Wildwood Dancing and Cybele's Secret both by Juliet Marillier
Those I read at the end of last year. I just finished:
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe
and I'm currently reading:
The Enchantress of Florence: A Novel by Salman Rushdie
but I'm having a bit of a struggle with it. He swears if I can get past the first part - I'll love it. I'm not so sure. :P
Anyway...work and reading that's about all I'm up to.
