There I was a few weeks ago, complaining about the heat wave that made me hot, sweaty and cranky, wishing it would just go away. And then it did.
For weeks now it has been raining almost daily. Which was fine at first, because it allowed me to sleep at night without marinating [...]
Still not happy, weatherwise
Melting Point
Looks like we’re having another heat wave over here. Saturday was the hottest 3rd of July in over 60 years from what I hear. Really fantastic. Not.

I just finished reading the first part in Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games trilogy today. And, considering I have read 54 books already this year (several of which I liked quite a lot), it says something that this one was the one that blew me away enough to post it here.
