The heat, the drums, the flies...

For over a fortnight the temperature in the study has failed to drop below 82°F (which it turns out, is 28°C - one of the few easily memorable conversions between feet & inches and metres). This does not please me and I went through a period of staring at the thermometer, willing the temperature to fall by the power of my mind. I do not take it too harshly that I failed; I only have a 15 watt brane after all.

As we ended the second week of this ludicrous heat, I decided that the thermometer must be broken, so to satisfy myself on the point, I hid it in the soda fridge we keep in the room.

When I removed it an hour later, it told me that the fridge was an acceptable 38°F and probably lower if I left it a while longer. So the thermometer is not broken. It real;lIS hotter than Hades in here - even with the fan going 14 to the dozen behind me.

Roll on Autumn.

Bah

I finally dozed off some time after 3am.

This heat will be the death of me.

That is all.

Hoop La

Apparently the majority of Londoners are coming around to the view that they should support the Olympics in 2012.

I’ve gone in the other direction; I wish they would go away. I was in Trafalgar Square for the announcement whenever it was: centuries ago, now and was as happy as anyone else that we’d bagged them. Now, I’m sick of it all. I daresay that once they actually get going, it will be a different matter – Furtle already wants to go along to some Equestrian events – but the whole thing seems to be increasingly shoddy. The infrastructure going up at Stratford is very impressive and apparently under budget (I expect that’s because the budget was artificially inflated in the first place), but beyond that, the entire presentation is so shoddy.

It started at the bottom with the Lisa Simpson blowjob logo and went down from there.

Don’t mind me. I’m in a grumpy mood through lack of sleep.
