Right now I'm coming up with "died of the heat". Whoo! It's going up to 90 today. Luckily the humidity's only 82% at present. (icky)
It's headed for 94 tomorrow. I'll be in A/C thankyouverymuch.

(For those not living around here: we've had an unseasonably cool and wet summer, more of an extended spring really, and now that we're getting a few days of what would be rather hot weather even for this time of year normally it seems a tad hellish. No time to acclimate from 70s to 90s. Plus it's always humid here. "Hot,humid, and hazy" is our summer weather. Low to mid 80s is our upper range unless we're having a week or two of really hot stuff, or a heat wave. But we have LOTS and LOTS of moisture which seems to end up in the air. It is decidedly unlike Arizona.

You can live here quite happily with fans instead of A/C. Which is fine until you get a heat wave into the 90-100 range and then you have to set up places for seniors and others to go to cool down.

Winter is a little more extreme. We know how to handle cold. If you're hot you can only take off so many layers...(let's not go there, HK..).

So I'm whining about being warm at 8:51am and it's only 72 out. Ick. I see a garden hose in my future. I can't really take boychild to a pool or beach today because he's got a non-contagious rash, but you can't tell it by looking at him. (Virus) Plus, he just barfed twice this morning and is having general GI issues. Poor baby. So no large crowds today. (See? Some parents are concientious about public health safety!)

Anyway, it's hot. ick.

ooh poor boychild. That is so rotten to be sick in the summer when he should be out being wild and and free.. I hope he feels better soon

HUGS Rosie see I was all excited 'cause it's only going to get up to 94 today:)

You need popsicles, a wading pool, and a big beach umbrella

Same here. It can go to 20 below and all I need is some good hoodies and blankets and hot chocolate and I am set.

I hate the heat... makes things sticky and smelly.

Evening all,

I have been powering my way through maths fuelled by a heady comnination of Florence and the Machine; Harry Potter Audio Books ready by the amazing Stephen Fry; and Bruce Springsteen.

Very tired but managed to nearly catch up with myself (just have assignment ques for the first two weeks to rough out), iron work clothes, wash up, go for a run and get all this maths done.

Hope everyone is doing good, I shall be turning in shortly and hopefully next week will be slightly less manic and I can drop by a little more often.

barkeep, it's fracking HOT here. something to remedy the heat please. ice cold beverage, garden hose, thunderstorm, whatever you can manage ^_^

feel bad for my poor pregnant cousin(inlaw) who stopped by today for breakfast. On top of the heat her allergies and asthma are acting up, as if New England humidity weren't enough ><;; fortunately the little peanut seems to be feeling mommy's pain and has stopped pushing on the poor woman's lungs :P

HUGS Gee ..hmm Stephen Fry is a good choice, but i have to say read by Jim Dale is amazing ( don't you just love Harry Potter Audio books?)
