FLOATS

The weather is unbearably hot and my air conditioning is not functioning leaving the flat feeling like a oven on slow roast. In such circumstances, nothing tastes better than an ice cream float made with vanilla ice cream and various sodas. We started with the orange and cream sodas, and the orange creamsicle tasting delight was the clear winner. Much later, when we got even hotter and thirstier, the root beer float was like something sent from heaven to give pure cold pleasure to our mouths.

Best drunk out of chilled ice cold mugs on an evening so hot you can barely move and are covered in a thin layer of stickiness and any movements undertaken are done very deliberately and slowly.
