Whenever I come back from the UK, folks must think I have Parkinson’s.
Drifting around a bit dazed, constantly shaking my head…
There is an explanation, though.
In the UK over the weekend and they were forecasting a HEATWAVE.
30º Celcius – that’s 90º in $ & ¢, I’m told – and pant-wetting was the least that you experienced in the media.
They actually had a bureaucrat from the NHS on the radio, mangling the English language with words larger than two syllables, but broadly getting the message across that one should stay indoors from 11 to 3, keep your windows open at night (if it’s safe to…), wear cotton clothing, smear the kiddies with Factor 500 sun lotion and have cold compresses handy.
Got back on Tuesday just in time to watch the news over here and the weather flossy (who lives just down the road, actually) said:
“Well, it’ll get up to the low to mid 30s tomorrow, so just act sensibly and don’t forget to drink lots of water”
Cue for a song: Joan Osborne – Heatwave
