I gotta vent about the heat. it's like 85 F here, which may not sound like much to you in the US, but we have no AC of any kind, and a house that has a total glass front to the south. And the glass is the double-glazed type with a foil in it that locks in the heat. The water isn't even much of a cool-off at 75 or so. I'm melting. Soon I will cease to exist. I'm just not used to this. I'm literally sitting here wearing only shorts and sweating buckets. There are flies everywhere. and lets not forget the flying ants who LOVE the color white. Incidentally, things that are white: towels, curtains, sun umbrella thingie, and Rapture (horse).. poor Rapture.. Speaking of horses, there are horseflies everywhere, also. ha, i've only been stung once, and I killed it soon after. The usually active dog does nothing but lie around panting, looking like he might die of heat stroke if we stopped draping him in wet towels.
hands up all who hate the heat....
