Meltdown…

Well, we really shouldn't complain about the weather being too hot, but…

We are not set up to cope with extremes of heat. It has been in the mid-to-high 20's for a while now, unusually. Now I know that is not hot for many places in the world, but for us here in the UK it is above average for this time of year.

It was very uncomfortable at home last night - we can't open the windows as we are on a busy main road and the traffic is a nightmare at times. Sue had a very bad time, unable to sleep much at all.

My office at work has faulty air-conditioning. It has been faulty for some time now, including all through last year's heat wave. Still we are having it fixed (It'll be ready for Christmas). Some of the office is on a different system and are ok (I keep trying to find any excuse to visit them). Where I am it is hotter inside than it is outside.

The HR department has had to go out and buy ice-lollies for us so that we don't fade away.

Another thing - The girls get to wander around in short skirts and sleeveless tops (not that that is a problem you understand) but us guys are way too hot, in our more comprehensive wear, to really enjoy it. I guess it is an acceptable form reverse sexism, but I am loathed to mention anything for fear that some blokes might be tempted to dress the similarly, and quite frankly that is something I don't wish to ponder on (on the other hand I do have legs for it).

Damn! I think my teeth are sweating!

Can't move… stuck to my chair….

Help! I'm melting…
