It looks as though the heat is crazy here. The humidity is lower. This might be due to the time difference. If I remember I will check again later when I wake up. I will most likely forget.

The other day I took a thermometer from downstairs upstairs and left it here where I normally sit, with the computer turned off. After about an hour I checked the thermometer and discover the temperature to be 35C!

Why is it so damn hot recently?

I asked my wife to call the Prime Minister and have him turn on the National Air Conditioning. . . she said she doesn't have his number to call and ask him! :-(

Hot and sweatly yours!
