I mean, okay, fair enough, that's a silly thing to be annoyed by; but I'm a shallow person I guess. Every day, M-F, I ride my crappy bicycle into my crappy job. I sit at my crappy desk and I do crappy work. Except for about 45 minutes. I leave my crappy desk and I go and get lunch. Lunch isn't great, but it's not bad either. When it's cold, I get lunch. When it's raining, I get lunch. When it's windy, I get lunch. But then a sunny day comes along and, everywhere I look, it's people. PEOPLE EVERYWHERE! I mean, where did they all come from? They seem disorientated, perhaps by the light....staggering about in a zombie like state. Large groups of them just 'stop' and stand in places. Sometimes they sit down. Just standing there. The restaurants that are normally empty are now overflowing with people. A lot of them don't seem to understand how restaurants work. 'How many?' is met with a blank stare, followed by 30 seconds of counting on fingers....often with a bit of a story, '......how many? OH, yes, how many are going to be eating. That's right - this is a restaurant. Well, let's see, it's me and Emma, and her boyfriend, that's three, but there are two more coming! So, three and two, that makes five. Yes, five of us!'. Getting home from work isn't much better. When it's hot, everyone has to stand around outside. Preferably with alcohol, right? So every 3rd block, there is some pub with far too many people standing around outside, spilling out into the road. I guess my life is pretty good if this is my biggest complaint, but really.....I don't get it. It's just sunlight.

Don't like small laptop screens, crappy laptop keyboards, crappy laptop touchpads. Definitely don't like oven roasted balls from Laptop. So I constructed the 'Bed Station' early last Autumn. Too late for last years great Summer but I had the foresight to include a 200mm PC fan on a bendable gooseneck stalk which has paid massive dividends this Summer. I angle it such that part of the airstream catches my face and keeps the Pillow dry and cold. No more flipping pillows over every 2 minutes trying to find a cold spot!! The bulk of the airstream flows down my neck and along my back. Pure heaven the last few weeks and not one single night of muggy sweaty tossing and turning!!

I have a headache from dehydration and my arms and face feel like they're sunburnt. Basically, my message is I just can't deal with heat, my body is not equipped to do it. I'm off to have a shower and put my head in the fridge for a couple of hours. People of AH, can you deal with the heat?

Soon as it's sunny I start noticing people sitting on roofs, jumping off walls and stuff. That last patch of good weather I was sitting upstairs in the café at the corner of Eyre Square, nearly got a heart attack when I glanced outside and there were a rake of teenagers sitting on top of the public toilets opposite. There are trees overgrowing it so their faces were just appearing out of the branches
