No Mike, you don't want to come to Nessun Dorma Land at this time of year!
Top of almost 37C (98.6F) today. Oh @#%$. Just checked and the forecast for tomorrow is 39 (one hundred and bl**dy two). Perhaps I'll spend the day at the cinema or floating around the freezer section of the supermarket. Oh, and it's windy, too.
Thanks for the shower tip, CD, but the effect only lasts long enough to get to sleep for a little while. I may be tempted to be an eco-baddy and buy and air-conditioner. For the pussycats, of course, who are quite lethargic and off their tucker a bit. I am being bad and leaving fans directed at their favourite chairs turned on while I'm at away at work.
Yours, in bags-under-the-eyedness (yes, the heat has #$%^ed my literacy)

PS: the good news is that my tomato plants love this horrid weather. Not that I'm a total dag and counting them (well, I am), but there are now 16 tomatoes of varying sizes growing up for my salad bowl.
