I hope...Lenny is quite a handsome-looking fellow... I hope he gets to feeling better soon. <br /><br />20C, eh? You poor thing, you must be positively melting (snicker). It's been nearly 37C here all week, and apparently will be for the foreseeable future. I am currently wondering if my husband could take a sabbatical at, say U of Southampton. Say, every summer? :)jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.com
