Thank you for coming: have a good day.
* You’re right, Olga: I did. I’ve corrected it, though: thanks for mentioning it! As it turned out? It only got as high as 27°C, in the end. Unfortunately? We’re predicted to hit 40° to 41°, next week. I hope not: it’s uncomfortable enough, already.
Quite how that runner coped? I have no idea. Saying that? I get the impression British runners tend to train a lot, abroad: it’s supposed to help them acclimatise to acclimatise to conditions, where-ever the next big event is. (Remind me to tell you about Mo Farah!)
Yes, I swapped the names around, Olga^: my sense of humour gets a little puckish. Thankfully? Paul Reiser hasn’t started singing about spam!
† Hello, Mum!
‡ It’s quite the resemblance, Debbi^, isn’t it? Thankfully, in Stranger Things? He’s not started singing the Spam song. (Did you ever see Aliens? His character’s a nasty piece of work! Dr Owens, his Stranger Things character? Is honest, rather than bad. He comes over as capable of nastiness … but will warn you first.)
^ Apparently? The next episode of Stranger Things has a character played by Robert Englund: Freddie Kruger, in over words. The series has a habit of digging up actors who had hit movies in the 1980s.
Q5) singer Oh, I saw Mo Farah talking about his family, and how he was enslaved as a child and his real name is different. They showed it here as well, on the news, I think. Incredible (well, or not). About the athlete who was second on that desert race, he said that he trained in saunas... Not surprised. They used towels with ice to keep going, but it was, I think, well over a hundred miles... I hope the money comes soon and the temperature doesn't reach those levels. We are expecting 35 today and 34 tomorrow and we have yellow warnings on both days. I might go and give a couple of the girls who do a radio programme about women, a hand this afternoon. They are having a big event with many guests, but, although I'd have to help, at least the place is large and air-conditioned, so there's that...
I see that the forecast for Monday is 103°. Do not think i will be wandering too far from one of my electric Fans. I certainly will not be doing any gardening.
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
