If only it looked like that in Missouri now. Oh well. It didn't QUITE make it too 100 degrees today...
Ah, England.
Posted by: JJ Hardy at August 28, 2003 10:14 PMIf only it looked like that most of the time I was in England this month. I just happened to go on the one record breaking hot week in england, a place that (as hard as I try not to be ethnocentric) doesn't seem to value air conditioning enough.
Chach
It looks like my Oregon sky. Except that it's been hot as hell and too damn sunny here for months now.
Look. There I go again. Writing about weather on this blog.
Don't let me do that again...

Posted by: Bal at August 29, 2003 07:51 PMWe don't have air conditioning in many places here because most of the time we don't need it (also it dries out the skin) Of course, it is now a standard feature of all cars, so when the heatwaves hit that's where we go. That's why there's always traffic. I am still marvelling at my brown arms gained from the reading festival :)

Posted by: esy at August 31, 2003 12:56 AMI have come across this website in my search for the origins of a fragment of poetry sometimes spoken by my late father:-
'My father was an Englishman, an Englishman am I,
It is my boast that I was born beneath an English sky.'
Any ideas as to its source?
