I must admit that I slept very well last night, the bedroom wasn’t at all as hot as I thought it would be. I even woke up an hour and a half later than usual! Can’t remember when that happened the last time. The temperature had already reached 20C (68F) by then so I thought a walk wouldn’t happen.
So I watered the vegetable and potato patch, made us our breakfasts and didn’t think more about it. Then a wind started to blow and both Alma and Albin became a bit restless so I thought it best to have a walk anyway. By then it had reached 25C (77F) but the wind made it feel less warm. Nova really didn’t care about a walk but she still wanted to follow us when I picked up the leashes.
WE didn’t go far and we were in no hurry. Half the walk was in sunshine since they’ve cut down all the trees on the left side of the road but the other half was in shade since we walked back in the forest. Both Alma and Albin just fell down on the floor when we came back and slept heavily after just a minute or two. Nova behaved as if she could have continued for a couple of more hours, she wasn’t affected by the heat at all 🙂 🙂 🙂
I’ve also done the last of the laundry but that doesn’t demand especially much energy from me 🙂 It is too hot (we reached 32C (89,6F) as warmest today) so I’ve only had cold things to eat, like granola with icy cold sour milk with raspberry taste. Unfortunately I had the last ice cream yesterday evening and it is really too hot to go and buy some more, it would melt long before I even reach half way home 🙂 🙂 🙂
Tomorrow will be even hotter they say and I’m not looking forward to that. There’s even a risk that Monday will be even hotter and I do hope they have that prediction wrong. After that it’ll cool down again, at least that is what they’re guessing. I don’t like these temperatures when I’m on vacation and I really don’t want them while I’m working.
Have a great day!

Hi Christer,
It was supposed to be hot today herr. It got to maybe 88⁰F at my house but it didn’t feel that hot. There was a nice breeze. We had a long walk in the early morning, a car ride, another short walk after lunch, and a very short walk at supper. In the shade was fine. The house didn’t get hot either so the AC wasn’t needed. I’ll take it. Another hot day tomorrow.
Have a great day.

Hi Caryn!
For us growing up until the 90’s a normal summer would almost never be warmer than 77F and it would also rain a lot. June, July and August were usually our most rainy months. So saying 88 is not too hot sounds awful 🙂 🙂 🙂
Since it is so warm here already in the early morning the flies are awful as soon as it gets lighter here, too warm to wear thicker clothes that the biting insects can’t bite through so both the dogs and I now have lots of itching spots all over our bodies. Still I don’t think this summer is a good season for flies, it has been too dry this spring and summer.
Today will be even hotter they say and perhaps even worse tomorrow.
Have a great day!
Christer.
