I'd much rather spend a few hours in one of those.

Sometimes, chocolate only goes so far. There, I said it.

and shhh, don't jinx the weather!

right, chocolate and beer, what else can you think of in these weather conditions...

Books! Frit! Naughty stuff!

Tires pumped, gears + chain oiled, hay-fever medicine in hand, I will go biking today. I will! Man cannot live by books alone, though God knows I've tried.

That goes to show why you men will never understand women.
Chocolate is the sensuous introduction to the dark side of women. Biking does give your hormones another outlet though

Don't you worry about participation, you need to worry about keeping up.

Or too cynical. Or just learned to value peace and calm.

So true, unfortunately.

Book sales fall dramatically in the summer, so it isn't just you. Not only do I love to read on a rainy day, I also love to write.

Whenever the sun pops out, I want to put me book aside and go for a stroll, or a bike ride, and/or sit in a café. I can't read in public (or while walking and biking, for that matter). So my reading time drops considerably.

Maybe I'm just getting old(er).

Its good to know I'm not alone.

We finally have a bit of summer here. Temps later on in the week might almost be double what they were last week. 16C to 30C. Belgium is a harsh mistress.

If it's not in Eastern Time, it's irrelevant. If it's metric, it's irreverent.

There, all problems solved.

Dunno. A cubic foot is something I would prefer to ask an orthopaedic about, than a supplier.

Heh. All plans to overthrow the current regime through peaceful means have been put on hold due to nice weather. Its hard to be angry when the sun is shining. I would however, check back soon.

It's been WAY too hot here to be outside for too long. Something like 26 day over 100F (38C) this summer. And some days up to 105F. (40-41C).
