Well, it actually was sunny yesterday, but no longer. Today's weather is as ambivalent as a man with no real preference for either strawberry or chocolate ice cream being asked to choose between the two. |

Once again, that "sunny" thing is a bit of a fib. Still hotter and more humid than standing in a hothouse for tropical flowers next to a boiling kettle, though. |

Well, it says "sunny" but I'm just presuming the sun is out there somewhere. From where I'm sitting the sky is just a blank off-white colour. Delightful. |

OK, this is just unpleasant. It's hot and sticky and it has to stop. I don't care who you have to write to, just provide a breeze or something. |

Blazing hot! Torrential rain! Hot! Rain! Hot! Rain!
I don't like this crazy boom-and-bust weather and I want it to stop.
As an aside, this may be the single worst promotional video I have ever seen, accompanied by the worst song ever recording. |

Bleah. It's misty, slightly too warm, and damp. A bit like Nanjie at about 11pm on a Friday night. |

On the TV on the bus to work today - a news broadgramme whose basic maessage was "oh! look at the terrible flooding and inconvenience caused by yesterday's storm!" Listen, guys. You don't get to moan about the downpour if you deliberately caused it in the first place. |

Rain. Great. I was supposed to be cycling somewhere, like, now. But I guess that's not going to happen, is it? Thanks again, weather pixies! Another travel plan down the spout! |

Pretty cool today, all things considered. Still wore shorts to work, though. Work on next issue of gou-rou.com "sort of" underway. I have written down at least three jokes. |

The heat today is oppressive. You hear what I'm saying? I'm not saying it's so hot, not the temperature, but it comes down on you. Do you understand? I'm feeling oppressed. Oppressed by the heat.

Comparatively nice today. Not too hot, a gentle breeze wafting along. It's the sort of weather that makes one think everything is OK. Until one remembers that one still lives in Beijing. |

The atmosphere of Beijing today is very much akin to that of a municipal swimming pool, except that you can't hear the shriek of excited children echoing off the walls, and there are apparently no restrictions on spitting. |

Today's INTERESTING FACT: The bird family Hirundinidae is a group of passerines characterised by their adaptation to aerial feeding, and known as swallows and martins. Within the Hirundiniae, the name martin tends to be used for the squarer-tailed species, and the name swallow for the more fork-tailed species; however, there is no scientific distinction between these two groups. |

It's rather humid, and the grasshoppers/cicadas/whatever outside the office window are chirruping away like a giant shower of bastards. Indoors, everything is eerily quiet as half the staff are trapped in another endlessly dull meeting that consists of trying not to fall asleep while the manager says everything five times and doesn't even bother to reword it. |

Much cooler today, with breeze wafting from the south. Bus more or less deserted on the way to work, no idea why. Alien invasion, possibly. |

Today's comedy China Daily leader, complete with scare quotes:
Taiwan leader survives recall bid
Scandal-plagued Taiwan leader Chen Shui-bian survived the island's first-ever bid to recall a 'president' as the campaign failed to get through the 'legislature.' |
