Too hot, man!

London has been, collectively, sweltering in a stifling heatwave. It's hell out there. Thank the Lord for office and studio air-con!

Key points noted in the last couple of days include:

  • The man who walked past me in Soho, clad in a black leather jacket and black leather trousers. Temperature in the street? 31 degrees How he was not melting, I cannot conceive.
  • The large hole in the ground in Greenford, West London, where gas and/or water works are taking place. Or rather not taking place. There's a big sign on the fencing, reading:

WORKS SUSPENDED TO REDUCE DISRUPTION DURING COLD WEATHER

How thoughtful of them....
