Well, you know what they say, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Well, yes.

However, I do like heat.

Both the physical - though 42 (42C, that is) in the shade (which is what the car thermometer read this afternoon) does strike me as somewhat excessive - and the er, metaphorical, though, the latter only at times.

The weather in Belgium is really doing us a number right now….I’m outside, in a t-shirt, at 7pm.
 
Glad today is over. Two long meetings.
In the office again tomorrow as well. But then I’m WFH Friday and off all next week. Yay!

Me too, see ‘picture of your beer thread’. Then again, the end of this day means I can do it all over again tomorrow, using my beloved Apple and Belgian products.
 
20-30C, well, okay, 20-27C, or 20-28C are probably my sweet spots; however, I am still fine with anything up to around 34.

However, these past few weeks, the thermometer has been climbing inexorably ever higher.
Depends on humidity, AC situation and what I’m doing. But I prefer it a bit cooler than Mrs AFB. I’ve never once heard her complain she’s too hot.

The incredible quality (and variety) of the fruit currently available where I am just now:

Apricots (several varieties), peaches, nectarines, melons (including honeymelon), cherries (both sweet and sour), grapes, mulberries, - I devoured a bowl of the latter (picked from my driver's garden) today - absolutely amazing and utterly delicious and irresistable.
I absolutely adore peaches and apricots. Best fruit ever and I could eat it all day, every day.

Agreed.

This is dry heat, where I am currently, which is a lot better than heat with humidity.

A not uncommon situation with women.

Many of us can tolerate (indeed love) warmth and heat.

I'm like that much of the time; I love heat whereas I loathe the cold.
 
The handle of my briefcase (as a result of a fall from a railway station trolley) - a briefcase (by Church's, the shoe company) purchased a decade ago in London - has come apart; this is irksome, and most inconvenient, as I shall need it for travelling over the coming days.

Now, to see whether we can effect a repair here.
 
Who else has been woken up from a deep sleep to tornado siren, turned on the news and saw this?

Happened last night, siren 11:35pm, woke up, turned on the OTA news.
He said “tornado is in Howell headed towards Hartland…. “, we live in Hartland. Woke the boys, headed into basement… fortunately 12 minutes later tornado warning cancelled.

This morning news reported a tornado briefly touched down, then it was a funnel tracking for a few miles, then went away. Trees and some roof damage .

Obviously European public transport is FAR better than in the US. Public transportation here is so bad it's unusable... literally it is IMPOSSIBLE to use.
Yes, this is true.

Unfortunately.

But, what is also lamentably true is that the (state-funded) public transport of some countries - for example, some countries that used to be a part of the old USSR, including some of the poorer, or less developed, republics of central Asia, - remains superlative, reliable, and affordable.
