And I mean, hot. Like summer in Australia type of hot. Today it hit 32 degrees. 32! Now, I know what all you Australian’s are thinking – 32 degrees isn’t really that hot; and I agree, it’s actually really nice sitting outside in the shade! But London just isn’t equipped to cope with temperatures like these.
I’m lucky enough to have air-conditioning in my building at work – lots of people don’t though, and boy am I feeling sorry for them this week! Last week our office a/c broke down, and it rapidly hit 29 degrees inside. And, since all the windows are locked as a matter of policy, there’s also no air movement, which makes it hard to concentrate, but easy to fall asleep!
Thankfully, the a/c is back on this week, and at the moment it’s cranked up to it’s maximum. This has somehow caused it to leak water, and since we’re on the top floor, it’s been dripping through the roof. One of the business analysts that I work with had a leak above her desk that was so bad, that it destroyed one of her monitors. And those bad boys aren’t cheap (think £1,000+)!
On the upside, it’s been absolutely gorgeous outside these last few days, with nothing but beautiful blue, sunny skies to be seen. Perfect sunglasses weather! And, since we’re in daylight savings, it stays light until around 9:45 PM! All this beautiful summer is totally making me forget about the miserable winter!

Yeah, thanks for that G. About 25 minutes after I read your post, the air con in our office building broke. And the fire alarm went off twice, so we’ve been charging up and down the stairs. It is getting WARM.
