I have a copper-coated board (never got round to etching it) that has my fingerprints etched into the surface,
accidentally!  I don't know if it was particularly sweaty weather at the time, but I didn't notice it at the
time - it "developed" over a few days.

the air is full of the sound of cicadas, which can get on your
threepenny bits when you're trying to concentrate

That'll get the non-Brits guessing :-)
