    Currently 31C here in London. This is meant to last all week and I'm a sweaty mess.

    It actually looks much closer to rain right now, in all honesty.

    It's warm here in Bournemouth but not unseasonably so at 24C. We seem to be missing most of the hot weather. My wife is in Brighton today where it's supposed to hit 29 and even North Wales where the in-laws live is hitting 26C which is probably the first time they've ever had warmer weather than us.

    It was saddening hearing the reports on the radio last week of the coming heatwave. They were saying either it will be gorgeous or else will bring heavy rain due to their being more moisture in hot air :(

    Try the Luas, or worse a bus for almost an hour.

    Warm, sunny weather is great when you're on holidays or when you're at home. But when you're commuting it's a pain in the feckin' hole. I go with the missus to Sandyford and get the Luas from there in the mornings and they don't turn on the air-con while we're all packed like sardines into the thing. I then get the bus home in the evenings, and Dublin Bus don't even have air con. So by the time I get home I have to hit the shower straight away.

    If you have any kind of bike and it's not too far of a commute, it's perfect cycling weather.

    If you walk around with your arms above your head it'll let the air get at your pits and prevent some smell.

    Beefeater @ Generator hostel is the best, imo.

    Bunsen's is amazing, and a bit nicer texture wise but it doesn't come close to the flavour of the Beefeater.

    I can, and I used to, but that means bringing a bag with me and that just annoys me for such a short cycle (I'm about 20min away). Also the bag makes you even more sweaty!

    Panniers!

    Panniers are the answer but IMO you need to get a commuter bike to do that. Don't want to be putting a pannier rack on a bike that you use to cycle for fun on.

    Have been working my way through the supposed top 10 burgers in Dublin this year according to Lovin' Dublin. Some that get a lot of hype and didn't come close to expectations and some that were really good.

    Bunsen is excellent, definitely my favourite so far (have tried 7 of the 10). Generator is on my hitlist and hope to get there in next couple of weeks.

    By far the most disappointing was Jo'burger. Not that good at all. The burger was a little dry and bland and the place is in love with itself. It goes to 11 on the hipster scale.

    My waiter: "No we don't actually serve coke but if you'd like one of our home made lemonades that we serve in jam jars, I can get you one of those".

    Me: "Molloy! I didn't know you worked here!"

    I agree that Jo'burger is not that great. Their burgers are just a mess, a few bites in and it's already falling apart. Taste was pretty average, nothing notable about it.
