It's starting to warm up, 30C and rising. If this continues, I will have to cease wearing a tie!
However thunderstorms are forecast for the South East later. That ought to help matters.

According to the Accuweather site, it's 27C here. My outside thermometer (in the shade) is showing between 32 and 33 degrees. It's too hot!

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

28c here but we have a 30% chance of rain in the next couple of hours.
That will be a surprise if it happens as there's barely a cloud in the sky right now.
Forecast is for temperatures to plunge quite dramatically by Saturday, down to 19c.

According to BBC weather, it's going to rain here in an hour and a half. It doesn't look that way. I'd better walk the pooch in a while though.

I'm sorted.
Just getting some big spots of rain but they're few and far between (at the moment).
