But when the thermometer goes way up and the weather is sizzling hot


Our Rosa "Veilchenblau" loves it! [click to embiggen]

The weather here in London is breaking all the records! Being in the city, rather than near the sea, and with nary a breeze, it's a bit uncomfortable to sit in for long - although we always welcome the sunshine; it's far better than our usual Bank Holiday drizzle...

  1. You won't find me tap dancing on tables in this heat!

    Enjoy your sunny BH, Jon. I assume you have some cooling drinks to hand?

    1. There's always cider, and gin, to hand if we need rehydration, Mr DeVice! Jx

    1. I imagine that Cordoba's hardly that "cool" at the moment, either!

      Air-conditioning, outside modern offices or shops, is a rare thing in the UK. I have certainly never known anyone in my entire life who has it in their house/flat! Jx

  8. I am exhausted just watching her tapping her brains out It to darn hot for that.
