What a lovely weekend of summer weather we have just had with temperatures nudging towards the thirty mark. I love the first (and quite possibly the only) really hot days of Summer as it turns us all stark raving mad, not least the great British Tabloids, with the Sunday Mirror today boasting the headline HOTTER THAN CAIRO which is poor in comparison to HOTTA THAN THE COSTA, HOTTY TOTTY, and BRITAINS HOT TALENT! backed by pictures of what look ...
