Heatwave....

In between moaning about how crap the summer is this year and will the rain hold off for that week off I've got planned it's easy to forget that this time last year we were moaning for a completely different reason.... the heatwave! Here's a snippet from Tonbridge blog Summer 2006. Yes it really has been going that long! and yes I really am getting that desperate for things to write and yes I really do need a holiday!...
"The longer this heatwave goes on the more bad tempered everyone becomes. Bus drivers are shouting at other car drivers if they are blocked for more than about ten seconds, pedestrians are walking around puffing and looking fed up, cats and dogs are no longer running anywhere, cars are overheating and using up precious petrol because of their air con units (how did we all ever cope by just opening the windows?) construction workers are on the top of scaffolding virtually naked to make sure they get a long lasting tan, flowers and shrubs are wilting, apples are ripening before their time, couples are arguing more, people are smelling more, school boys are looking extremely unconfortable with their ties half way around their waists, teenagers seem to drop litter more because they can't spare the effort to walk to a bin, I can't sleep because it's too hot in the bedroom so I'm writing this drivel. You see we just aren't made for this kind of weather and yet the weather men bang on about it being glorious weather when no one is really enjoying it. So let's all take a chill pill and get through it....
