Joy and irritation

[triskellian]

Joy: I swam in the river twice this weekend. This is a consolation for the fact that the weather is really too hot for me. (Note to universe: no hotter please!) (Note to self: arranging picnics is a good way to con friends into being bankside emergency crew.)

Irritation: Toilet-flush buttons that are recessed flat with the wall are really hard to operate if you have fingernails that extend beyond the tips of your fingers. (Note to architects/building designers/plumbers etc: please don't use them. I'm hardly the only person in the world with long fingernails.)

Can you curl your finger and push with your knuckle, instead?

Or your nose, maybe?

I'll let you test that out.

Nope - too small :-(

I shall introduce a range of toilet button pushers for ladies to carry in their handbags. Available in a variety of olours, including (naturally) purple.

I don't like it hotter than this either.

Really, I don't even like it this hot. 20-22°C is a good temperature to be - anything hotter and my brains starts shutting down, like a troll shifted up the temperature scale ;-)

I swam in the ladies pond at Hampstead yesterday and it was beautiful. Huge pond, nice and cold. I think I like swimming in lakes most of all.

That sounds nicer than the grimy old Isis. Must go there with you some time!
