Saw this headline in the London Paper today. Made me laugh.
"Heatwave Warning Issued. Temperatures as high as 33 Degrees Predicted."

The Wilderness
I realize I haven't posted in a while. Thank you to those of you who asked why. Unfortunately, an explanation is too long winded. Suffice to say, I'm back from the wild.
Speaking of the wild, I came across these definitions of wilderness some time ago. The US Wilderness Act defines "wilderness" as "An area where the earth and its community of life are untramelled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." In the UK, the John Muir trust defines wilderness as "Uninhabited land containing minimal evidence of human activity."
At the best of times, these "one size fits all" generalistic definitions get to me but to come across a definition of the wild was especially irritating. Sitting in my bathroom, reading this, I felt like saying, "you can't put boundaries on the 'wild' you cunts, that's why its called the wild." Idiots.
