done and dusted

Matt King: 'Thank the holy mother for this cool change. A week of playing Henry in 40 degrees and a wool jacket was making me pee dust.'

You said it, my lad. It has been just awful. I know other folks have being doing it much worse elsewhere, and I regret that, but this last week has been a sore trial, and one I failed, as always (that lack of good grace, my constant failing). Failed the garden, too, but what could I do? Throwing buckets of grey water scooped from sinks and tubs at the problem didn't make a bit of difference. The herb gardens are completely gone. Sigh. Why, I ask again, is half the country under water but my garden is reduced to brown withered sticks and stalks?

Seven days of 40C/100F

This land of drought and flooding rain really takes the pickle sometimes, you know?
