Still hot as the hinges of hell this weekend, nevertheless, I managed to accomplish a lot. 
I took care of Connor’s Hallie-Pallie on Friday, and while I thought they’d love the pool, they loved the air conditioning even more!
Here, Connor demonstrates his amazing wall-walking abilities. He learned watching the closing ceremonies at the Beijing Olympics.

As I drove around town this weekend, I kept spotting places that were an oasis of coolness, like this classical fountain in one of the downtown parks.

One of my friends sent me the link to a series of new adverts extolling tourists to Visit Britain. This one features Dame Judi Dench at the incredible Hever Castle. 
As I was looking around for the others, starring Jamie Oliver, Twiggy and more celebs, I came across an older Visit Britain video, so I stopped to watch it. Buried in the most miniscule part of the video featuring Wales, my sharp eye spotted this split second shot:
Nothing special, you say? Well, the mosaic around the old ship’s hull was created and installed by my former housemate in Wales! Very exciting. The mosaic tells the story of Wales’ history as a sea-faring country. Here are some of the images from the piece.
Well done, Andy!
I think that the advertising campaign worked, because now I want to back to England!
