Ah it's so much nicer today~ It's like a breath of fresh air. The breeze is so nice~~

The decline in tourists is also nice. It seems the police force is much less on-edge now that they're leaving. I do appreciate the money they bring into the city, but many of the people who come are too crude.

I think things are looking up!

Really now, was it absolutely needed to search through my purse just because I commented on the upped police presence? I don't believe I posed any sort of threat with my lipstick and pocketbook!

This city drives me mad sometimes. Even London was more sensible and that's certainly saying something.

September could not come along faster.

It simply is too hot outside, I feel. I insist every summer that we install an air conditioning system but the foolish installers always say the building simply isn't suited for it. I haven't the faintest idea what they mean by that as we already have ducts for the heating, and shouldn't the same ducts be used?

Baffling! Positively baffling!

Well, enough of that. The newest fall fashions are in at my favorite shops and I have had the urge to redo my wardrobe again. I know I just did it before summer but it's nearly autumn and I simply must have the latest trends. My darling Ama tried to convince me my old fall clothes were still in fine condition; well if she wants to wear those outdated things then she can! I won't be setting a foot out my door in such drab things. The nerve of her!

Ah and it seems the tourist season is in full swing~ So many parties this month to attend~~ I'm absolutely thrilled to finally be going out more. It's so dull around the house sometimes.
