34c when I got up this morning
Now it's hitting 37... streets are quite. Either everyone is taken to the lakes (likely) or sheltering indoors like myself.

I'm toying with the idea of going into work. It might be cooler there.
Inside temp 29.6. Outside - oh, the sun has just hit the window sill so that thermometer is climbing rapidly as I type.
It did rain last night, but I got off lightly.Last edited by Sysman; 11 July 2010, 10:42.

Been trapped in the house all day. Tried going out, was like walking into a hair dryer so ran back inside.
I tried a bar which has a/c earlier on. Tough, the a/c had packed up, but the beer was cool.
Lots of nicely tanned cleavage to admire though.

I've just been swanning around the French Riviera where it was like that every day. Coming back to a mere 30 deg C in the UK is a relief.

I rustled up a meal fit for royalty. Delicious and we were rescued the next morning.
Threaded.
