Author's Notes: July 26th 2019 prompt: Hot, sweaty London


.oOOo.

‘Ahh… this is bliss. The warmth of the steam room is most welcome, is it not, Watson?’

‘You weren’t so appreciatative last summer, Holmes. Remember July? It was the only time I’ve ever seen you close to giving up on a case.’

‘As I recall, you weren’t too happy about “being steamed alive in these God-forsaken fens”. You were grumbling as much as I was.’

‘It wasn’t the temperature; we would have had the same in London. It was the blasted midges.’

‘If you would only learn to swim, you could have found relief in the river, like I did.’

.oOOo.

Midges should be incentive enough to learn to swim - at least far enough out from the shore to discourage them.
