    Well it's a little cooler now.

    Before it was just too hot to do anything. Too hot to eat, too hot to drink, too hot to read or watch TV, too hot to think or do the crossword, too hot to sleep or make love - and too hot to enjoy listening to music!

    About the only thing that was comfortable was to have a cool shower or bath.

    The temperature is down to a more manageable 27C and will probably go a bit lower, so a less uncomfortable night hopefully.

    The sky is largely clear, but in the distance I can see huge towering clouds and they're heading this way, so maybe some thunder and rain later.

    “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!”

    I'll take your 17C any day of the week, mate. It's nearly 24C here - and set for 30C later!

    Slept ok last night, outside as usual, as no way could I manage it inside. The princess says she's not missing the snoring!

    And she's still got Gilbert to keep her company
