London hell

It is hellishly hot in London.

I wonder if the weather is making a political comment.

Democracy is having another bad day.

In light of the view that we get the government we deserve, I also wonder when I could possibly have been so bad as to deserve this shit show. I really can’t remember. Surely an action so awful as to bring down a punishment like this government would have been extremely naughty, fun and, importantly, memorable?

Crappy politics aside, I got all my steps in early today due to the weather. I won’t be visiting the birds in the park but my thoughts are with them, they don’t seem to like cold and wet and they’re not keen on really hot weather either. I’m doing a lot of wondering today, now I’m wondering if my spirit animal is a duck. Anyhow at least they don’t have to go to work, they have a choice of big pools and plenty of shade.

A few weeks back just after the break in the wet weather, they were out in force grazing and many had babies. These babies are now catching up to their parents size wise, although still very fluffy.

Other people’s children grow up so quickly don’t you find?

Before they get attitude, leave home and set up on their own, here’s a picture of some of them when they were really cute.
