Heat Wave

[poliphilo]

Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot...

One "hot" for every day in an unbroken sequence of heat.

This is so unEnglish. People are talking about the unforgettable summer of 1976 as the last time we experienced anything like it.

We've been watching the tennis from Queen's Club- where one of the commentators told us yesterday that it was topping 100 degrees Farenheit out on court.

Lots of flies. We've been burning citronella candles and running a gadget with windmilling arms to keep the little buggers away from our food.

That is definitely not reasonable for June.

They say there's rain coming tonight. I'm looking forward to it

We went up the Wrekin which at 1300' is quite a climb in 30+ heat simply because we knew it would be cooler up there!

Nice when you get to the top, but I don't think I could have faced the lower slopes.

It's not as bad as you might think as most of it is through shady woodland.
