Having found my pillow soaked in sweat tonight (despite the air con in the bedroom running at full tilt) I just had to get up to try to cool down. It's over 32 degrees inside at the moment and I'm frankly quite happy to call it a day here for the summer and head home!
Tonight was the last of England's group stage matches in the World Cup. We've been watching the matches at the BCA club 10 mintues' walk away, and have enjoyed the cheap beer and pleasant atmosphere. Tonight, though, things weren't quite as rosy - the club was experiencing power problems that resulted in the entire crowd being crammed into one room while the employees battled to get power to the televisions in the main 'sports bar' area.
Eventually a solution was found with a very long extension cable being run from one of the few working sockets all the way to the offending television and then being plugged in with one of the least reliable-looking multiway sockets in existance:
It seemed to work for a while but then, with 10 minutes left on the clock...
