It sounds lame, but one of the big topics for local bloggers has been our heat-wave. Since Victoria doesn’t usually get temperature over 30 degrees Celsius, it’s remarkable that we have had high-heat mid-30s weather for several days in a row now.

And the bloggers continue to weigh in: from Miranda Roach and a laid-back approach here to A Runner’s Tale‘s record of pain here; and back again to Trainharder Jarhead‘s ‘bring it on’ response here to a query from Victoria Klassen about what to wear. Victoria Dogs tells us humans how to keep canines cool in eight easy steps; Loose Moorings found that it even got too hot on the water; and Elizabeth McClung describes what it’s like to be confined to a wheelchair during a heat wave.

For another very different kind of heat check out Davin Greenwell whose photo is on the cover of this week’s Monday Magazine. It’s a terrific capture, and announces the upcoming Victoria Electronic Music Festival (VEMF). So hot, it’s cool.

Oh, and Vibrant Victoria reports on how Victoria’s Mayor Dean Fortin takes heat for hiring additional communication staff.

S-ss-sss-sssss-sssssssizzling!
