it's one strategy for coping

It was rather hot today. As many of my Adelaide friends have already mentioned. Repeatedly. Now I don't mind the heat, as long as it's a dry desert heat. I just pretend that I am a dragon and luxuriate in the heat (which is far cooler than my internal fires). However I also forget the side effects of doing so. I think I broke three trains, one flower, and a shop assistant. They just don't make things dragon-resistant any more... It was almost as bad an effect as when a theoretician/mathematician enters a lab. All that unrealised experimental error suddenly being dumped into working experiments ... it's never pretty.
