Is someone suggesting that the bright round yellow thing is an alien? It seems to have take up long term residence here - surely the UK equivalent of a "green card" should be issued!

What bright yellow thing? It's grey and overcast here.
However, an unfallible indicator of summer is a Tube strike...

Although, just for a change, they're not refusing to go down into the tunnels in the hottest week of the year . . . not that I've ever seen their problem; they're actually guaranteed a seat and won't be standing with their nose in somebody's armpit in conditions that are illegal for cattle! |

Hey... you want all the excitement and culture you can get by living in London. Some of us prefer fewer challenges in life! |

With the work load I've got this semester, the closest I'm getting to culture is the Greek yoghurt in my fridge. |

I'm sitting outside in my back garden drinking wine and considering a back stabbing so-and-so from my department. Not terribly warm, admitttedly. Here, anyone know what the expression "wearing a peaked cap" means? |

Two of the great lakes have appeared in the village. We've tentatively named them Michigan and Superior.

I know we don't work in the same department because it would have to be "backstabbing so-and-sos" in the multiple. And, gee, I don't know - I've always found that kind of contemplation got the circulation going and warded off the chill. Here, anyone know what the expression "wearing a peaked cap" means?
No, but I do know what "the sun has got his hat on means"... |

I am rather partial to Gog and Magog, myself. |
