33c outside, 21 indoors, that aircon unit was one of the best things I've bought in a while. You wait, we'll have a bloody power cut now

Absolutely glorious day, and Suffolk officially the hottest place in the uk at 33.9c. Still 29c according to my thermometer. Not good for getting kids to sleep though, especially on last day of school when they’re already knackered! Records could be broken tomorrow?

Measured 28 Celsius in my living/listening room. Too hot to use the Levinson amps (Class A with a standing dissipation of 800W!), so swapped them out for a pair of Quad 510s.
Still hot and sticky, but that's not going to stop me playing a few tunes.

Two of my laptops and my mobile phone both shut down today due to overheating! Luckily my main listening at the moment is done via a D-class T-amp which seems to be fairing ok!

This is ridiculous, 29C outside already and It's only 8am.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
On a clear day you can see the Dartford bridge. Baking already here.
