Steaming Hot...

This country just isn't geared toward hot weather.

It's been pretty damn warm for a few days - in fact, it's been bloody hot. I've faced worse, but in places where they are used to temperatures hitting the "high sweats"

In England, when the heat goes above 30, the government issues warnings - yep, no kidding.
The "Nanny State" kicks into gear and tells everyone to drink more water, keep out of the sun - basically, they tell everyone how to live thier lives. Gee, thanks Government, if you hadn't told me, I'd be out there naked in the sun, without fluids, running a country mile!

Hey England, it's called "heat" - get over it!

I must admit, it has been very difficult to sleep at night for a while and I have had a whinge or two myself, heck, I've had nightmares during this heat wave. Perhaps that's the odd thing?

An English heat wave seems to be worse at night, as the heat of the day radiates outward from the streets and buildings and we all get sweaty and start to stick to our beds (ick)

My solution so far is to consume lots of cider, but that's my solution for most things, so I suppose it doesn't count.

Opening the window at night isn't an option, too many bugs, too much noise.

So, as we face yet another night of radiated heat, I've cracked my fifth cider and shall remain steadfast in my quest to beat this heatwave by remaining drunk.

If only I could convince my boss of my grand scheme ...
