Boiled alive

[wiseheart]

We had 35 degrees today. Again. I'd shudder, but even that would take too much effort. We were accordingly inactive all day. The most I did was the washing-up and plucking apart the dill and the rosemary my friend Elise had brought on Saturday and putting them into jars, as they'd dried out completely by now. Oh, and I washed my hair, which felt really good by this weather.

Otherwise, we rested a lot, watched some telly, Mum did the book-keeping, then we rested again. In the evening Erna, our art teacher called, we gossiped a bit, and she offered me lavender and cherry pits, which I can fetch from school on Friday. So, it seems there will be cherry pit pillows at the fair again. That's the good side of things. The not-so-good side is that I can start making pillow-cases for them. Perhaps I'll try to make Louise the Younger (the baby sewing machine) to cooperate. It would be quite the time-saver, but I'm not sure I can wrestle her into obedience.

Apparently, the heat wave is going to peak tomorrow. I foresee a similar programme for us. Afterwards temperatures are supposed to go down a little bit, but I believe that when I feel it.

We have reached the heat peak today. I am so not into the heavy thunderstorms we will have tomorrow:(

Awful. I would offer hugs in comfort, but it’s too hot where you are.
It’s appealingly cold where I am, but you know I’m a weird one who likes winter, and our winters are very temperate.

That is just TOO HOT. Good luck with talking Louise the Younger into cooperating.

I just cannot imagine living through 35 degrees, with no air con. I can at least escape to the beach in those kind of temperatures. I remember how airless hot weather felt in the city.

No, I wouldn't want those, either.

I like winters, too, as long as the walkways aren't iced over.

Thanks. I'll postpone the fight with Louise until it's not this hot.

Well, yes, we're used to it — to a certain degree. It doesn't mean that we'd like it, though.
