It thundered half of last night, and poured with rain. When I went to bed I was so hot that I fetched up an ice-pack that we put in the cool-box and wrapped it in a tea towel and took it to bed with me. I could see lightening flickering, but it was far off. Then a couple of hours later I was woken by the thunder and the rain, and I had to jump up and shut the window before my curtains were soaked. It was lovely, damp and coolish, this morning, but by the afternoon it was hotter than ever.

News via : LMB is contracted for another Vorkosigan book. Hopefully it will be an improvement on Diplomatic Immunity, which falls rather flat after the brilliant A Civil Campaign. elerrina_amanya has read all the others, but not it, because I couldn't be bothered buying it. I'm afraid she'll be disappointed when she does get round to it. I read it early on in my experiences of the series, so there wasn't a let-down for me.
