poliphilo I like sunny days- but prefer to observe them from the shade. I have never wanted to sunbathe.
T.E, Lawrence continues to criss-cross the Arabian desert on his camel. It gets hot down there. He talks about temperatures on 140 F. And says things like, "the heat was like an iron mask over the face" Or was it a "steel mask" ? For some reason "steel mask" sound the hotter of the two. Does steel have a higher melting point than iron? Seems like it might have.
Anyway yesterday was hot. We got to eat our very nice lunch on a patio that thrusts out onto the beach. I could have wished the parasol had been larger. Later we sat out on the promenade across from a band of elderly amateurs with ukes who were playing hits from the 50's- my very least favourite decade of popular music. What I wanted to know was why they weren't playing George Formby? (I like George Formby.) Perhaps its because his tunes are virtuoso stuff....
