Hot

[altariel]

What is going on with all this weather?! It's Wimbledon, fer &%£!'s sake, it should be raining.

Not very charitable of me, and perhaps it's just that I'm hot, but I have to say I'm kind of glad that Henman has gone out because the tedium of all that endless news coverage sets my teeth on edge. Combined with the heat, I might have got angry. I don't much like me when I'm angry.

It had better bloody cool down over the weekend.

Hope so, I'm making a flying trip to London to see Hedda Gabler.

Meanwhile, I'm sipping cold Pineau des Charentes and nibbling garlic-stuffed olives. And wondering whether a cool bath with a few drops of tea tree oil would help my swollen feet and itchy skin.

Mm, a cool bath does sound a good idea.

Can't say I detect much improvement. Hope a break in weather is more efficacious.

It is a relief when Tim goes. The coverage is so predictable: 'Perhaps this will be his year?' No! Of course it won't! Everyone knows that already! You're just prolonging the inevitable!

You're just prolonging the inevitable!

Which, er, makes no sense. It must be somewhere between delaying the inevitable and prolonging the agony :)

And I think the pressure has only served (ho ho) to make him lose big matches.

At least, when the Great British Hope goes out, everyone can stop obsessing about him/her,

And just enjoy the sport.

Unfortunately they seem to have found a new one.

Shall I ask you what the temperature is in Celcius and then make scoffing noises?

'Bout 32 deg C in the shade here, but we don't have air-conditioning &c

[kerravonsen]

Okay, I concede that that is actually hot.

I ran out of anti-hystamines last night too, gah!

Ah, but there's a reason I live in a (supposedly) temperate climate.
