Dammit, Your Majesty, can't you please do something about this weather? All this heat and sunshine is so frightfully un-British! I haven't experienced such sustained hot weather since I lived in a tent on the end of Runway #2 at Bahrein Airport! Such miniscule amounts of energy that I possess have simply evaporated, thus, I lack the will to write anything on the subject of 'Good Ol' Joe Biden's second blunder in appointing some utter dipstick woman as his running mate. The first blunder, of course, was to run himself!
Sorry, sorry, unable to write anymore, the sweat is literally running in rivulets down my body - not a pretty sight.
David, you hang in there! Really, it's not that hot.

David, there's no such thing as your being too warm. The idea of being too warm was invented by a conspiracy of dunces.

Bob, that is a memory, dunce, having to stand behind the blackboard facing the wall.

Glesga,
I spent some hours the same way. The phrase is from one of the better things to come out of our South:

Well David I'm pretty sure I've found the cure for you "melting".

Now it's my fervent hope all that product finds its way to the overseas market rather than my grocery store aisles.

NC huh? Well, there's a boat load of Scottish here from the coast to the farthest western mountains. Lots of sheep too.
