I'm ready now...
The UK has declared a national emergency because of the weather.
...And it's because of heat, not snow or floods.
This is climate change in action.
I don't work well in the heat.
I'm a Welsh girl, through and through - the summers of my milennial childhood were predominantly rain, with enough nice days interspersed to make up for it.
And by 'nice days,' I mean temperatures of around 15C-20C, occasionally stretching to 21C, with sunshine.
'“Hey, settle a debate for me,” he says to the poor twenty-something that probably doesn’t get paid enough to deal with Clint.

OK, you got me. It's SamBucky.

Kate! Yelena! Clint!
All the sass!
It's Thursday, this is Dora Reads, the UK is Too Hot (I feel like I'm melting,) let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
When I tell people about my various craft projects - weaving, embroidery, cross-stitch - they're always like: 'You must have so much patience!'
But here's the thing - I don't.
I am so impatient. I want things done yesterday, preferrably in triplicate and wrapped with a bow.
No, I don't have any patience...
What I have is the ability to see the progress of the piece - however slow that progress may be.
Seeing it creeping into a mode of 'becoming' lets you know you're on the right track.
'...superheroes are great for preventing the destruction of the earth, but they don’t seem to give a damn about high rise apartments or coffee shops or the disastrous economic catastrophes they leave in their wake.'
It's July, it's Thursday, this is Dora Reads, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
