    UK - your expats need you.

    It's 35°C here at the moment, so I dropped into our local supermarket to get some tonic water. None left. Then I checked the spirit counter. No gin left.

        My office is in my cellar. My bedroom has relocated to the cellar as well. I really enjoy hot weather, so long as I don't actually have to do anything.

        It's been above 30°C for four days - today looks to be the hottest so far. Not as hot as 2004. Yet.

            35ºC in Switzerland the sensation must be higher because it's very humid this time of the year.

            Last week was around 40ºC in Lisbon now it's 26ºC.

                  This seems to be the gin of choice for the discerning contractor. The cheeky buggers charge £25 for delivery to Europe though. And they don't sell tonic. Oh, and they're currently sold out, but there's a waiting list...

                    Downstairs in my local Kaufhof there is a really rather large selection of German gins which would look interesting if I liked gin. Found a new one today in Frankfurt, based on a local delicacy: Gin Sieben - echter Frankfurt Dry Gin
