Hot.

[elingregory]

Too hot to think and too hot to be cheerful. Even the castle ant population is too hot because they stormed the gates of th museum this morning and clambered all over me and my desk. I even had ants in my keyboard. :( they made tiny sad crunching sounds as I typed.

But my upper lip is still stiff, even if it is rather soggy, so here re some interesting things to look at.

Here's some video of a house in Worksop that hasn't been altered since 1932.

Here's Wales' oldest piece of wood carving, dating back approx 6,000 years.

IAnd finally, in case you haven't had vertigo today, here's a video of some athletic youth doing parkour with the video camera strapped to his chest:

I hope to be more intelligent when the weather breaks.

It's strange to see how hot you're all feeling when the temperature is quite low by our standards. I do understand that the heat is different, though, and your houses and businesses (and bodies!) aren't as prepared as ours. I hope a cool change comes quickly. Meanwhile, we're struggling on with an awfully wet and wintry week down here.

I loved looking at the house video. Some of it looks quite liveable, but I'd hate to cook in that kitchen.

Couldn't watch the parkour one though! I was dizzy just looking at the frozen YouTube picture.

That house is rather splendid in its detail!
