Thirty-seven degrees celsius
Tuesday, July 18, 2006Is what they’ve forecast for Wednesday. I am concerned. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced temperatures hotter than inside my own grumpsome, turbulent body. What will happen, I wonder? Will the tiny air-con units give up the ghost and cause mass hysteria? Will I involuntarily climb into the fridge? Will I pop?
It’s a worry. Especially as I have agreed (in a characteristically feeble attempt to augment my Mr Muscle physique) to attend yet another Body Pump. It’s the only exercise class in West London where you can simultaneously heave hefty weights and relive the pain that was Drop Dead Gorgeous by Republica…
still, at least you *have* airconditioning. think of me sweltering in our giant heat absorbing trendy hoxton carpark/office. Also my refusal to ever wear a skirt or anything that might expose my legs in public might put me at a greater disadvantage in the heat.

Theres nothing wrong with Drop Dead Gorgeous and/or Republica :-). Anyway, forget gyms/classes… just get a bike and enjoy the outdoors.

Our air-con is actually doing pretty well today, so I’m feeling quite smug
Another downside of all this heat is that the site goes a bit funny - there’s a different main picture for every ºC between -4 and 30, so it’s spending most of the time being stuck on the 30 picture at the moment…

jesssorry, i just came back to laugh at the mental image of you doing body pump…

Oi! I’ll have you know I’m going to be dead muscly-like next time I see you…

This is where suddenly those of us doing stupid technical jobs look less stupid, thanks to our 19degsC constant air-con machine rooms. Suddenly we’re the most popular people in the office…Had to happen some time…

Come to Bangalore, it’s a nice cool 30 degrees. Mmmmm.

Simon. It was 40 degrees in Croatia. 37 is a walk in the park

*Although admittedly on Wednesday I did think I was actually going to die a long, sweaty death…

Yes but weren’t you padding in the sea whilst said 40 degree heat was going on? We call that cheating, and even the Croatians disapprove. Tsk.
