Dreadfully sorry, mostly melted.

blamebramptonI am behind on birthdays and news, and shaking my head at Lance Armstrong and everything. Sorry!
But it was 45.8C here today (115F) and I have survived only by the internal application of iced lollies, iced juice and sorbet.
A cool change has rolled through, I feel I may be a Pratchett Troll as my brain seems to be returning with the colder weather.
We are not going to speak of the Australian cricket team, except to say that it makes me glad I still support England.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wemyss, you may laugh if you must, it is entirely fair.
pingrid and I wish to know if there is an accepted short form of Richard Armitage, as we have been watching North and South and have had to go for RArm to save on typing. While it leaves out quite a bit of the book, it is much lovelier than the images that were in my head!

Edited because I can't type.

Date: 2013-01-19 01:53 am (UTC)I haven't read any of the Tiffany books yet. But I've read most of the books in order. I did the Witches and the Night watch... Lady Sybil does rock. I love how she breeds dragons. :D
I've got quite a few on my kindle left to read and a few paperbacks. So many books to read. Hehe.

Date: 2013-01-19 10:57 am (UTC)I used the lack of digital things as an excuse to get some spinning done. Took the wheel outside (house is too dark to do much inside) and spent about an hour and a half spinning before it got too dark. Then we sat around and ate salad in the dark before heading to bed.
I think I am a troll too. I end up nearly brain dead in the heat and thinking returns as soon as it drops down into the 20s. Usually being up here means we miss most of the hideous heat. We get -6 in winter but we have a fire. This year has been awful though. Neighbour says it's the worse they've had since she moved here 12 years ago.
Today we had rain. Proper rain that was light but lasted for hours. Hopefully it has saved the garden.

I share your trollness (trollility?), but worse, I am an albino troll. I burn in about 2 minutes in this weather. Summer is my hell.
