Is it hot or is it just me?

Now I know I may have mentioned this a few times before, but is this summer hotter than any other summer in the past ten years? Well it certainly feels like it to me! I work in the offices of a removals company, and the poor guys who have to lug the furniture around are literally praying for rain. I have seen a good few summers on the Costa del Sol, and I have to keep confirming with friends that it really is this hot, and I´m not just entering some premature menopausal stage, but they all agree - this summer is a killer. When my friends and family from England call and ask me what I have planned for the weekend, they are amazed and disgusted to learn I am doing ´nothing much - it´s too hot to go out.´ ´Bloody hell´ they retort ´you ought to be here in the pouring rain´. ´Yes´ I think ´I really ought to be´. And the good news is, super high temperatures of 40 degrees are forecast for the weekend so take care out there. But you know how it is - the Brits always moan about the weather. It´s either too hot, too cold, too rainy or too cloudy. But ooo what I wouldn´t give for a bit of snow right now!
