Put damp towels on the radiators. They will cool the air as the water evaporates (heating off, of course ![]() |

Ladies, you can tell your hubbies to stay their side of the bed instead of hogging all the bed on hot nights!! |

This morning, the glittering ball rose over the downs and bathed the whole range of the hills, it hurt one's eyes. It changed from orange to gold, the whole sky a breathtaking symphony of sizzling colour, then it was over the sea, a shimmering pathway across the ruffled surface of the water.
And it seemed to me that dawn-worship was the most logical of primitive beliefs. Slight wind and small waves below me and you could hear a haunting orchestra in your mind, that spoke of a timeless era.
It seems impossible but today is more beautiful than yesterday, the sky is depthless. Every leaf edged with gold, people walking about in the summer heat as if drugged - only the morning remained cool. |

pleadingly, imploringly, for the little tree was dry
It stood alone on tip toe, on faded yellow grass
The people grumbled sorely, when streets were soaking wet
they preyed for this, hot sunshine, but people soon forget
not so the little tree, in sparkling glory there
Its thanks were rosy blossom
Each raindrop answered prayer
