Summertime....and the living is easy??

It's hot.

It's gone beyond holiday hot, beyond the sort of heat normally experienced by BBC film crews while they loaf around Africa waiting for the rains to revive the parched earth. Frankly, we're into Tennessee Williams territory.

So where’s our precious precipitation? Word is that we’re going to get it all tonight…in the space of a bout 17 seconds, accompanied by thunder, lightening, hail-storms and our ever present friend the flash-flood.

Days like this were designed for swanning about in a t-shirt, drinking very very very alcoholic drinks with lots of ice in them and being angry and melancholic by turns.

But Christ, don't people kick up a fuss if you do that in a meeting.

Still…it’s not all bad. For entertainment we got to see David Hasselhoff get thrown out of the tennis championship Mecca that is Wimbledon for being as pissed as several newts.

Fun and games!
