Phantom Monkey

Heatwave!

Well, the excessive heat continues to ... er ... continue. I'm not sure exactly how hot it is, as my Galileo thermometer only measures up to 27°C and has been off the scale for weeks (although it could be hotter - Mum's reported temperatures up to 41°C in the shade at their place in the south of France). Thankfully, my freezer is well stocked with Ben & Jerry's from the last time that Sainsbury's had a sale, so I have been able to do something to combat the heat. I've been largely inactive (outside of work, at any rate) this week - reading books and watching DVDs are two activities requiring little effort and hence suitable for the current climate.
