well its not that im not distracted, just keep getting pulled out into the sun, before snapping back to in front of the keyboard.

Wow, hotter in London than in Washington.

Still, that's fairly cool for the southern US.  I'm quite glad to not live in Tallahassee this week: Upper-90s and storming for the next nine days.

That's the thing with  the UK, it's not as hot as really bad places but you never get a chance to get used to it so it feels worse.

after a long dry sunny fortnight we've been having storms and rain, with sunny spells. perfect growing weather, as plants seem to like rainwater much better that well water, probably because it gets oxygenated on the way down, (and is not icy cold).

a lot of people get headaches in this kind of swift barometric pressure drop, high heat and humidity, and/or feel flattened by a feeling of exhaustion, even after a good night's sleep.

sure nice to see everything still juicy green though, as july and august can be so dry it's scary, dust everywhere, and a microwave sun whose light hits like a hammer, except for a brief period after dawn and before dusk. there was one of those sudden temperature drops a week ago from 32C to 16C in one day that is a bit shocking, you wonder if it's just you!
