A HOT TIME IN OLD LONDON TOWN

Children cool off in the Southbank Centre fountain during a heatwave in London 

I guess things are nasty on the other side of the pond.  It was 104 degrees in London yesterday, the highest temperature EVER recorded there.  There is a huge increase in household fires within London, to the point where the London Fire Brigade has declared a state of emergency.  There are also a couple of good-size fires burning close enough to London that the smoke is becoming an issue in London itself.  

Sounds very unpleasant indeed.
