Hot Weather

It is easy to stay cool in our French house in hot weather with the thick stone walls, terracotta floor and shutters on every window.  Occasionally we switch on the air conditioning unit to chill things down a bit.  Here in our English flat it is much harder to keep cool and the heat is oppressive, not a great time to be packing boxes.

We waited until the evening before taking Rick out for a walk in the cooler air.  There were a lot of people and dog walkers about on the estate.  I spotted a lady with two small dogs.

“They’re pugs aren’t they?” I said to Paul.
“No, they’re scouts.”
“Scouts?”
“Yes, they’re not punks, those boys are wearing scout uniforms.”
“I said pugs, not punks!”

It must be the heat.
