Woke up to 33°C (92°F) temperature and 60% humidity with a killer hangover that even Berocca couldn’t completely mask today (incidentally, if you haven’t discovered this miracle of dietary supplements, I strongly recommend you pick some up next time you’re in a commonwealth country. And thanks for Jim Michalko for tipping me off to the stuff!).

My next apartment, which is looking as though it’s going to be in the Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens neighbourhood of Brooklyn, is DEFINITELY going to have an air conditioner.
