    Just had to share.

    Apologies if this all sounds a bit wilmslow.

    So, it's been getting hotter and hotter each day with increasing humidity but fortunately I left the hotel this morning in glorious sunshine. I happened to notice as I wandered along eating my apple (as you do) that there were a great many young ladies who had obviously dusted off their summer dresses and who were keen to take advantage of the good weather.

    All day the humidity has been rising until about 4pm when it started lashing it down... thunder... lightning.. the lot.

    So this evening's wander home has been the best ever. Those lovely light dresses are now sticking to any body part they can and hair is well and truly plastered to the side of pretty faces.


    What was previously classed as rope has been upgraded to 'dirty looking' and what was once barely 'yeah probably' is now 'back in five' status.

    In fact... sod it... I'm going back out there. Does anyone know the German for "a spicy pot noodle and a box of man size please"?

          No wonder they leave you manning the phones in Slough when business trips abroad are made.
