Feels like a heatwave...
The news about the heatwave pestering the Uk-ians is not a lie! My online weather Bible tells me that it's 24 degrees here in Smallville. To me that's melting point and even worse...upsets my summer routine. You see, I have a special dress code for summer. It comprises of a traditional Icelandic pullover and/or a thick fleece jacket. Not being able to wear these items here in the Uk-aine is unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable.
The worst bit is that I am unable to use my main tool of how-to-scare-Big-Europe, the socks-in-sandals combo. I recently bought a special pair of red knee high socks with blue diamond shapes up the leg just to wear with my Moshulu sandals to shock the hell out of those orthodox Europeans/Americans. The no sock fascism upsets my liberal way of thinking so it is my own little personal rebellion.
Alas, the heatwave has destroyed my cunning plan of world domination through sock/sandal scare tactics. It's just too damn warm to be bothered to wear the socks, sweaty toes are not comfortable so I have been forced to do what the Romans do (like in the saying..).
I feel betrayed and bewildered and my feet are suffering, you see, my delicate sock clad Icelandic feet just aren't used to the touch of the rough suede inside of my sandals. Oh, the horror!!
By the way, the picture of Hector has nothing to do with this entry although I am sure those clever Trojans wore socks with their sandals all the time... I just put him in there to show that bearded guys in dresses or drag as some choose to call it are absolutely desirable.
Go beards- Go drag-dudes!

Go drag dudes!!
You are a genius, woman!
I in fact remember your sock and sandal combo pretty well, it once gave me great reassurance when I had to wear the same for lack of any other shoes (that was one day we went to the beach with my 'husband' and other uni folks, last year).
I must say, though, that I still find it disconcerting when people moan about the lack of cold, especially in Sun Tandrews, as you so cynically call it... But let's wait till I get to the Chaco, perhaps then I will understand at last!

Thanks for being the first to acknowledge in writing that I am a genius! I hope this will encourage others to do the same...
On the matter of high temperatures, what can I say; this body wasn't made for heatwaves, I feel sticky and can't control the mousebutton on my computer properly. I suppose 20 degrees and semi-sunny is the ideal environment for me.
