I Don't Want To Complain, But...

... I really have had my fill of tropical heat with temperatures around 30° C.

At least give me a period of one or two weeks with a pleasant 20-25° C so that I can recover, sleep well during the nights and enjoy days with pleasant warmth. I realize that for many of you 30° or above may be a normal temperature, but I am a Northerner and not at all used to these temperatures.

When I was a child I used to live in a subtropical country where temperatures of 40° and above were not uncommon, but that was different. We had air conditioning, thick walls and life styles that allowed you to stay out of the sun during the warmest hours.

Today at Dejton Abbey

As those of you who read this blog regularly already know, my brother Dej lives on the South West corner of the sim.

Besides having commandeered my English Bulldog Bilbo, who now refuses to leave Dej's side, my brother is also having fun playing with the three statues Tomais and I secretly placed in his home during the Second Pride Festival week.

As a major fan of the British costume drama television series "Downton Abbey", Dej has renamed his parcel "Dejton Abbey".

The cute clothed statue has been named Raoul and works as a kitchen help/bartender (and no doubt repeated one night stand).

The other two statues, who have lately been named Adolph and Nom, are a source of fun to us all, as Dej continues to use - and abuse (can one abuse a statue?) - them in various way and setting up entertaining scenes. Adolph is the blond guy and Nom is always on his knees.
