Day Four of the Drought! When will it end!

Yes it's only day four but we are all prostrated by the heat. In Africa and Australia they don't start counting till Year Four but this is London!
Look, just look!, not only smell the exhaust fumes from all the traffic on the roads. This is air you can see and it is not good for you...but let's attack smokers for lighting up one cigarette...priorities seem screwed up to me. Soon the gardens will be dying ...throwing lots of people out of work to add to the bonus paid to the appropriate Minister in Westminster.
And no (Thrice Ney!) I will not be sharing a bath with a friend....I unfortunately have friends in low places. Although there are a few who I would accept, if not with open arms, then an offer of soap.(Shit! did I really say that! Steady down, Rom and Adam!) Who would you most like to share a shower with...and be reasonable..answers in comments below! I remember saying to a friend who had been waiting for Mr Right, for well, it seems like forever! what would happen if he turns up and his first name is Always! Where would you be then!
Well if you are feeling low and gloomy as well as exhausted by the drought, you can always draw solace from my whimsical, almost daily, ramblings right here! Just remember that no good deed will go unpunished!
I see that all the big supermarkets are having really large sales, and even starting price wars over petrol prices, not that I care about the price at the pumps as I walk everywhere..it is healthy, and I wouldn't like GB to get on my case if I was unemployed and obese! Besides it's cheaper to walk, especially when you are financially embarrassed. These sales still won't affect me as I have spent my allocation for the two weeks....it doesn't go far.
Of course one way to get more money is to have kids..but that seems drastic to me. One way to save money is to use the loos at your place of employment/training. Please use the facilities carefully and do not abuse the privilege, or yourselves for that matter. How come loo paper always runs out at the most crucial moment of extreme eliminatory need?
There are great bargains available on train travel as well but this probably involves booking 12 years in advance, and, the big catch, you have to travel in a party of four! I, alas and alack, travel life's lonely highway by myself......probably because I've never had a fixed destination, nor ever needed one! I think the journey is better than the arrival!
With GB's new expected blitz on unemployed people, I suppose I'll have to pick up a hod, and do with it whatever you do with a hod...what exactly is it. I have barely enough energy to come to my training course due to my being on the JSA diet. What will all the Polish people do if I take their jobs? I worry about this and a lot of other things as well because I am a caring, sharing sort of person! Anyway these people may well be Estonians...who ever knows, certainly not this mis-government.
