“What dreadful hot weather we have!
It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance”

~Jane Austen~

I like this so dandy and slightly snobbish quote, this way I’m obliged to confess my deep liking for the witty aspect of Victorian age (I think only that aspect anyway).

I find it...refreshing, and it’s hard to say how much I need anything refreshing right now.
Anyway, in spite of my disliking for all excessive formalisms and mannered attitude, I cannot help thinking over about the bad effect heat has on people’s behaviour and appearances.

I would never impose any Victorian clothes style on anyone anymore and I shiver with creeping discomfort only trying to imagining me squeezed into hard corsets or trapped into all those gowns and thick underwear with long sleeves and hats even to go out to check mail in the box at the end of the garden...

But also the view of nowadays ladies and gentlemen showing themselves dressed up as Hawaiian beachcombers even when they visit an historical town far from any beach, only because it’s summer is rather depressing for me.

I suppose this is another story, as always....

I’m trying to tame my new camera and I can only take photos at random from my windows.

I’m lucky.
