If you're on your own, your day will be even purer -- it will be filled with longueurs that only a very long, very hot, very solitary summer day can contain. There isn't a better context in which to experience the passage of time as such. But make sure you have a film lined up for that almost mythical moment -- still eons away -- when the daylight finally and slowly dissolves and gives way to a hot and nasty darkness. What better than, say, a screwball comedy from 1941 called "Bedtime Story" that slakes your eyes with a black and while that just a few hours before you would not have believed was possible?

This warrants an intervention by the French Grammar Gendarmerie Lizard, it's languor, not longueur (=length in French), from the French verb languir, which means to languish.

Circulez.

Always funny to hear Anglophones using French words

You are the crème de la crème

38 degrees here last sunday, dripping in sweat either in the streets or the gym ( No Fahrenheit here, imperial sucks-4th July or not )

At least this is a good opportunity to increase my vitamin D, since I have a deficit after being in France for so long...

(I can already hear the "Go back" from you guys )
