Dreadfully sorry, mostly melted.

I 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] wemyss, you may laugh if you must, it is entirely fair.

[livejournal.com profile] 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!

That's entirely unfair. The whole POINT of cold is snow! I once did a winter hike in Scotland (don't ask, stupidest thing ever. It was meant to be learning how to cross-country ski and went downhill (pardon the pun) rapidly. I suspect that ex-boyfriend was trying to kill me.) in which I ended up wearing all my clothes at once in a bid to warm up my bones. If you have any local large hills with steep inclines, I found walking up them with a 10kg pack and carting skis an excellent method of warming up!
