London's Roasting
Big Ben, London 26 July 2006London's summer is hot hot hot this year. The Tube is like an oven, I receive a roasting twice a day! It must be about 35C in there.
The blue skies and warm weather are great though - it makes it harder to miss home when its like this. I've been away some of the time - getting a decent tan in France, but otherwise the days are long and weekends have been lazy. A comforting evening breeze blows through my balcony windows and life is good.
Have been out twice in two weeks with work, first trip was a pub crawl along the south bank of Thames in City, learning that Beer was regarded as the safe clean drink during the plague. Tonight a classy Corporate Summer Drinks in a private courtyard at Westminster Abbey. Canapes and Pimms as well as the Strawberries and Chocolate. Best of Summer! Its hard to beat!

I know what you mean about the heat, mate. NY was hotter than Sydney and much more humid. It's a relief to be back in the cool here. A huge bonus over London's tube is that the Manhattan Subway is air conditioned- although the stations are still like a sauna.
The big thing I miss about Sydney is the birdlife- the Kookaburras especially- when I'm away. Sentimental old fool I am...
According to newspapers the temperature in tube carriages has been as high as 46 degrees!
It's even harder to miss home when you get on the phone and they start whining about the cold... though 15 degrees is not really that cold!
