Daytime highs of 43-45C

But at least it’s a dry heat.

My wife and I were on the sofa, engrossed, most of Sunday afternoon.

FF are a situation specific band for me.

Listening to them in the back yard? Not so much.

Barreling down the Interstate, bright blue skies, windows down and sun roof open? Very much yes.

Journalists, who want to avail themselves of the rights and protections of that title, report on the news and the process. They don’t seek to affect either. There is no doubt that Wikileaks are players, […]

I literally quoted the BBC quoting the prosecutor, which painted a very different picture to your quote.

My perennial underachiever list:

1. You get it all – Hayes Carll
2. Enjoy the view – We Were Promised Jetpacks
3. Lo! Soul – Roddy Woomble
4. That spell – Andrea von Kampen
