Wow, hot, it still hot and we are used to this - you aren't!

I hear you on the humidity. At least your historic lack of central heating has meant you are better at putting on a sweater, or coping with warm temperatures indoors. I wear a light dress and sandals to work so I won't die of heat stroke on the way, then wrap myself in shawls to cope with the fact that men in suits, wearing closed shoes and socks, are usually the ones who set the temperature in our building.

I have an excellent hose in the back garden :-D
