Cooked alive

wiseheartToday we had 38°C again. When I woke up at 5.50am, it was still 26°C - not even the nights cool down properly anymore. *sigh*
Since I couldn't fall asleep again, I decided to get up, take a shower and do the shopping, which was a jolly good idea - at 8am I was at home again. As I didn't have to cook today (save for an omelet to go with the leftovers), I decided to try my hand on home-made ice-cream... the quick and easy version. Aldi sells these instant fruit soup powders, which you can mix with milk for soup and with yogurt for ice-cream. I chose a strawberry one and even added chopped fresh strawberries to the mix - yummy!
The rest of the day was spent with pathetic vegetating. My brain is so overheated I had difficulties to understand what was said on TV, even when they were talked in Hungarian. I fully capitulated when I tried to watch anything in German, and was just generally useless all day.
Crafting-wise I worked a tiny bit on my penultimate pot-holder; only a little, as my fingers hurt again. I'm in pure survival mode and refuse to push myself in matters that aren't absolutely necessary.

My supermarket here used to sell this ice cream sugar, which you would just mix with milk or whatever mushed fruit you wanted for ice cream. But they stopped selling it years go. I'm gonna look into the Aldi yogurt solution.
