I don't think that was London's _first_ heatwave, there's been at least one pretty much every year since I was a child 😢 and unfortunately even one when I was there this May. It's like the whole city is a huge bowl of bra-sweat

Ah yes should have said first heatwave of this summer …! Huge bowl of bra sweat and more

alas it was not even the first one this summer! They got an even earlier one in bloody May. BAD SCENES. Anyway I hope we get to see you soon, in mild-to-knitwear temperatures

You've convinced me at least Claire! I bought Lolly Willowes online this morning as my local library doesn't have it. Looking forward to reading it.

Right now I'm savouring a Katherine Rundell "older children's" book called The Wolf Wilder. And have recently finished The Psychology of Time Travel by Kate Mascarenhas - it delivers exactly what the title says, elegantly and with mostly female characters.

I love The Wolf Wilder! My favourite Rundell I think. Will look up the Mascarenhas 💜
