Save The President From Melting

Those Aren't Umbrellas, They're Classy Parasols

A new waxwork of Barack Obama has been unveiled in Paris - where it had to be protected from the hot sun by umbrellas. Helpers grabbed umbrellas to shield the waxwork as it was unveiled near the Eiffel Tower before taking up position in the Musée Grevin wax museum.

Flammentanz and a warm summerday

Summer is hot. 30 C (86 F and 303 Kelvin) but during the light shower temp dropped to 25C before returning to 30 +. At Turid´s place she measured 34.6 C yesterday.
Campari (with sweet sparkling lemon soda) is curing the crave for liquid for us humans, while the sprinkle watering of our lawn around the cottage have to run continuously.

Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

When it comes to matters of colours and tones
There’s no printer quicker than Barnaby Jones
Then he told me he was really colour-blind
And his seeing-eyed dog was a wonderful find
