It is simply way too hot to blog at the moment.

As the UK closes down due to a few inches of snow, its nice to know that our democracy goes on, despite the lack of “hundreds” of MPs and peers.

According to the Met Office it could only take a few more showers between now and the end of the month to break the record, 329mm set in 1927.Although the weekend is set to be dry, forecasters believe this will only be a respite, and there are growing fears of a repetition of the flooding …

Apparently our summer has been and gone.
“The hottest day of the year, with temperatures reaching 30.3C in London on Sunday, was followed at the other end of the country by yet another emergency caused by torrential rain.And after one of the wettest summers on record, forecasters issued the gloomy prediction that the hottest weather of 2007 may have come and gone.Temperatures have taken a decisive tumble and are expected to struggle to stay in the low-20s Celsius for the remainder of the week.” (The Telegraph)
