MAD DOGS & DESIGNERS GO OUT IN THE MIDDAY SUN...?

Physical activity of most kinds was out of the question in today's extreme heat. For some reason Cyprus has had July/August type temperatures since the last week of May.

Fortunately I'm in the early stages of a design project, which means I could sit around like a sedate Edwardian lady making genteel flower drawings. Not that there was anything sedate or genteel about the red-faced, perspiring female, who firstly had to scuttle around the garden taking photos of suitable subjects. Thanks to the miracle of digital cameras, this 'lady' didn't need to suffer sunstroke for her art, and this drawing of an hibiscus flower was made later in the cool of the studio.
