Whether the weather...

Well, it seems that the meltingly hot weather which made the working week such fun has done the traditional British thing of fleeing the moment the weekend arrives. This rather steps on the Lj post I was going to make along the lines of: So, it's only a week until I get to flee this stiflingly hot weather for the south of France. Where it will probably be even hotter, but at least I have access to a swimming pool. And more importantly, where I don't have to do any work (except in the likely event that there's some fruit which needs picking...)

Yesterday actually started well, but took a rather sudden turn for the worse in the form of a torrential thunderstorm. Amusingly, this happened just as I scurried into the cinema to see Stormbreaker. More amusingly, the drenching I got as I headed home afterwards showed up my prophetic choice of T-Shirt: "Dry is not an option" (from Splash Mountain at the Magic Kingdom - where it, in fact, doesn't really apply. The Kali River Rapids at the Animal Kingdom would be much more appropriate - but I digress). Less amusingly, I'd cunningly left several windows wide open in the hopes of letting some cooling breezes in, and instead came home to find my kitchen pursuing a new vocation as a paddling pool.

The hottest part of yesterday, naturally, was while I was having a haircut - being trapped under one of those lovely keep-all-the-hair-out-but-all-the-heat-in plastic sheets was somewhat akin to being roasted alive. Still, there was the novelty of wearing pyjamas to bed without risking heatstroke (this is why having houseguests in the heat of summer is a risky business) - although hiding under the covers as well was clearly a mistake, given that I woke up in the middle of the night severely overheated.
